As a social media manager for a company with customers in over 30 countries, I use Google Translate for daily interactions and customer service across our global community.

It's unable to get the nuances of various languages, so it's not useful for longer texts or more complex issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides translations across a huge range of languages, so I can respond quickly to enquiries on social media. It has also helped me to develop an FAQ list in multiple languages so the wider team based all over the world can also use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing i dislike is when translating from arabic to english the words are translated literally and doesn't mean the same thing when you see it, some sentences are translated literally, i hope the mahine learning gets developed more to include more sophisticated arabic sentences.p Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

The app and the voice translation integration has been great for working in an international organization with multiple languages, and for traveling. It is also good for translating basic text to streamline content conversion into different languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

The UX could be slightly better in terms of translating larger or longer documents, which sometimes produces uneven results or does not pick up on formatting versus text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working in an organization with 7+ offices who all speak various languages, Google Translate is great for allowing me to translate content and documents for communications purposes, and shaves time off for all teams involved. Even if the translation isn't 100% accurate, it provides a base to work off of rather than starting from scratch. When traveling for business, the Translate app also offers a lot of basic flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google translate is best for the beginners to find new words and great for complicated pronunciations, sentence making and use according to sentence.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

Super fast – begins translating as soon as you start to input text. Reliable enough for most purposes and works with over 130 different languages. Can be used for individual words, text, files, pdf’s docs, speech and even websites. Google Translate gives you examples of the word translated used in a sentence which is extremely helpful, and the synonym list helps you to pick the nearest option. For website translations, all you have to do is type the URL of the site in the input box and press enter. Great abroad when you are really struggling to express yourself in an unknown country and need to purchase a specific item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

Poorer at regional languages and dialects, also you never actually know the accuracy of the translations, fine for many European / US languages, but less effective with less popular languages, such as from the Philippines. Long-form texts can lose their meaning. Some of the translations don’t feel very fluent or human. Some of my friends who come from abroad have said that some translation results are good enough to understand, but are an unusual amalgamation of words, which put together just about make sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Perfect for professional and personal use. Great abroad when you are really struggling to express yourself in an unknown country and need to purchase a specific item. Translations appear immediately in front of your eyes. If translated into English, you will also see a speaker next to the translation, so you know how pronounce the word. Also provides non-Roman text, (eg Hindi) with the option to see them transformed into the native script – Google Translate also provides the opportunity to hear how the translation should sound. Another helpful feature is that users can check the translation history of a given word or phrase which is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

I like that it can be used on almost any device, it has easy access, it is a very useful tool for people who need to translate small texts, specific words. Its biggest advantages are how easy and fast it can be used, no learning is needed, the greatest virtue that has unlike other translators is the large number of languages available, it is an absurd amount but that will never be superfluous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

As it has so many languages as a consequence it is not dedicated to improve errors and mistranslations as fast as it could be if it had less options, generating sometimes many errors when translating long texts, but this problem is already known, so you have to know how to use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I said, the amount of problems that you can solve with this program, is the same as many as you need to communicate in another language, of course I helped me a lot, in my personal and business life, I reached a point that at least once a day I use this tool, so if we talk about benefits and problems that helped me to solve, we would be talking about a long list since it was created.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

Google Translate is one the oldest and most trusted language translation platforms. I use this platform on a daily basis and also the accuracy that it provides is more than 99% this makes it reliable the platform does need even the application to function the user can just open it in their web browser and translate stuff according to their need. It has almost all the translating features that a user can ever need. This is one of the easiest and most quickest language translation platforms available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

I have found that there is no issue with the platform because of its easy integration with any third-party app and also there is nothing in this app that will ever make a user contact from customer support due to its flawless interface. It is a good-to-go app with no disadvantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basically, I use this app to translate and communicate with my clients from other language backgrounds and also it is quite easy to copy and paste the conversations done with them in this app to understand what they are saying. So, I will say that the implementation of Google Translate in the real world is easy and effective and will directly save a lot of time to understand a new language.

I love the ease of use and the camera to text feature is a must have! When working with someone that does not speak the language it offers a tool for independence in communicating with others as well as translating text when needed. I seriously LOVE the camera translating feature! Game changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the translations are a little more "wonky" when using symbols for languages like Chinese and Japanese, so the translations can be off and not at all what the speaker is trying to convey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bridging the gap to better communication with non-English speakers as well as offering me a quick tool to translate documents as needed. It is also helpful when I need to review or edit a translation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

Google helps me to translate the words, sentence and even long passages too in a second. We don't need to learn all the languages because Google translate is here to translate us.

It could translate more than hundred languages in a second itself. It is hard for a basic human to speak and understand all the languages, but Google is here to solve this problem easily by translating those languages.

In my personal experience, Google translate is a necessary software for all corporate and individual who deals business and many languages in their day to day life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

Sometimes it results in meaning less words and it is hard to understand some translation made by Google.

Also, it will show some errors when we translate the posters and pictures using Google scan.

But these are minor disadvantages only, which can be fixed soon.

I didn't like the Google scan as much in translation. It results in wrong information probably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

This software is very useful for people like me to get translated. I just know three languages only. But in this corporate world, i need to speak and learn many languages in order to succeed.

This problem could be easily solved with this software. This software serves as my personal interpreter for many languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

Google Translate is one of the easiest language translation tools I have ever used. To use this service you don't even need to sign in anywhere. Just search for it on your favorite browser and use the service.

The best part of using this service is that it works even if you don't know the original language by selecting "Detect language" from the top bar tab. It supports translation into more than 100 languages available worldwide.

Nowadays many application uses Google Translation tool to translate their text from English to regional languages to enable them to understand their service more. It can be easily integrated with web browsers and mobile applications as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

I am using Google Translate since my school days and I enjoyed a lot using this service. I did not find any cons of using this service. The only thing is that it sometimes didn't translate properly and also makes grammatical errors while translating. It would be great if the Google team can work on improving this service a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my organization, we are using the Google Translation tool to translate our service from English to regional languages. This helps our clients to get a deeper understanding of how to use any service without any assistance. Additionally they can answer their response in local regional languages which are further translated into our specific language and saved in the database. We have integrated it into both the web and application where the user can click on "translate" and it automatically detects the regional language based on the demography and make the user experience much better.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

Google Translate has a vast language database that covers a wide range of languages, allowing you to translate text, docs, and even spoken words. The accuracy of the translations has improved over the years significantly. The UI is intuitive and easy to use, allowing even non-tech-savvy people to make the most of its features. Google Translate is available on all devices, including mobile apps and browser extensions, making it accessible across various devices. What I love about Google Translate is that it provides pronunciation assistance, allowing you to learn how to pronounce words correctly in different languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

Accuracy is still a concern for complex sentences, idioms, or technical jargon that requires context-specific translation. Google Translate struggles with culturally sensitive content, resulting in translations sometimes lacking the intended meaning. While Google Translate is sufficient for a few translations here and there, it's not a substitute for a professional translation service for crucial or confidential data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Translate helps me daily during work. I use it as a quick reference tool when working with multilingual documentation or collaborating with teams in Bangkok. It helps me understand code comments, technical articles, or error messages written in different languages. I also use Google Translate to ensure effective communication during meetings. When receiving user feedback from other regions, Google Translate helps me translate it into English, aiding in global product localization and improving the user experience for everyone. Google Translate eliminates barriers and allows us to work with anyone, regardless of our native languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Translate?

Ease to use and language auto-detect are the best features I find in the tool. Both features help the user quickly get the desired result. In other scenario the person has to specifically section a translator form a specific language to another specific language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Translate?

The very basic issue I face with Google Translate is that sometimes there are issues with grammar. The basic one that I feel is sentence formation, and not providing the sentence in the desired format as per the language converted to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Translate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Usually, I use Google Translator to write my official email to international clients and I like to use some smart words in one local language. This has a better impact on the audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's mechanical and lacks nuance. Language is a very human and cultural thing and Google Translate can't come close to the real thing. Sometimes it's obvious when someone has just used Google Translate without running it by a native speaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
