Pros
Overall I am quite satisfied with its performance. It is offering a great service to those who want to improve their working performance and earn money online.
It really help me in freelancing and its super amazing thing is you can get it easily and free of cost. It is even install in WordPress and this plugin is really mind-blowing in translation.
I have been using Google translate for quite a lot of time and love it for its ease of use and the way it provides instant translations with great accuracy.
Cons
This product is really horrible when it comes to translating Indian languages atleast in my experience. This product really kills languages such as Tamil instead of translating it.
Do not expect to be able to accurately translate full sentences. Often words have multiple meaning and the wrong word can be suggested.
One can not know if the translation done is correct. The security and privacy of this application is poor.

Google Translate - A real Saviour

Reviewed a year ago

As i have mentioned earlier I am working on tickets which came from around the globe and we daily receives cases from different languages. So with Google Translate, we were able to translate what customer wrote in english and we make draft of our response and again put that in google translate to translate that in their local language. If there is no Google translate, then we have to hire people from all the languages. So with Google translate we are saving soo much

Cons

At times i feel Google Translate will give you 95% of correct translation, remaining 5% can be incorrect as it wont translate properly

An easy to use, versatile translator with over 133 languages... and it's free

Reviewed 9 months ago

I've used Google Translate for at least 5 years now and it has never failed me. I've been able to have conversations with people who speak other languages, read directions and other important signage, book flights on local airlines that don't have an english website, arrange dates, communicate professionally and more. I highly recommend this for anyone who desires to travel to a foreign country and does not speak the language.

Pros

The free price is probably the best thing about this software. It allows anyone with a phone or computer to communicate with friends, loved ones or work colleagues who speak different languages. It's also a life saver for tourists in foreign countries. I also love how simple the UI and UX is. The product works very efficiently, experiences very few bugs and is an overall useful product.

Cons

The places where it fails is translating for meaning and picking up regional dialects. This has gotten significantly better since I started using the software years ago, but still has significant room to grow.

Get the Gist with Google Translate

Reviewed 2 years ago

I use Google Translate every day, mostly with a combination of Polish, German, Hebrew and English translations. The benefit to me is that I can get a translation which is "good enough" and which is both fast and free. If the translation needs improvement, I can make suggestions which helps the software improve over time. The amount of text you can input is limited to 5000 characters or 10MB if you are uploading a file in any of the following formats: .doc, .docx, .odf, .pdf, .ppt, .pptx, .ps, .rtf, .txt, .xls, or .xlsx. That could be annoying if you have larger files, but I use Google Translate mainly for a sentence or two that I need to communicate without waiting for a human translator. For that purpose, I've found it to be invaluable.

Pros

I love that I can get the gist of any content by cutting and pasting it into Google Translate. So if people are commenting on a post using their mother tongue, it's easy to find out what they're talking about. It doesn't matter what the language is, basic communication is now easy. The same goes for using Google Translate when I speak with clients internationally. It's easy to have them type in a sentence or two when I know I haven't understood what they're trying to say in broken English. It saves a huge amount of time and stops most misunderstandings.

Cons

It's not the most accurate in terms of translation. I use it extensively and sometimes it does misunderstand the context and you get total nonsense. So you do have to be careful and use it as a rough guide. It won't give you a perfect translation by any means, but if your expectations are to get a good rough translation then it's a huge time-saver.

Great Translator with Great Functions but Sometimes Lack of Good Translation

Reviewed 4 months ago
Pros

The image detecting and translating function is by far my favourite one. I would have use this app only for that option. It helps a lot for translating languages that uses different alphabet than Latin.

Cons

Sometimes the translation is not quite good. Especially in music lyrics it acts like stupid sometimes.

Google Translate Review

Reviewed 8 months ago

My overall experience with Google Translate has been positive.

Pros

Google Translate is user-friendly and provides efficient and precise translations.

Cons

One downside of Google Translate is that it doesn't always offer precise translations and may cause misunderstandings when communicating with people who speak other languages.
