"Experience in Google Cloud Translation Api"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

Google Cloud Translation API is its extensive language support paired with NMT. The ability to translate across over 100++ languages, including both widely spoken and less common ones, makes it incredibly versatile for global applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

I find the cost of the Google Cloud Translation API a bit steep, especially for heavy users, as the pay-as-you-go pricing can add up quickly. Also, translation accuracy isn’t always perfect for less common languages or specialized fields, sometimes needing extra human editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable translation service with good integration support"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

The API is very easy to integrate with minimal setup time. It supports a wide range of languages and delivers consistently accurate translations for most common language pairs. The real-time translation is fast, and the documentation is clear and well-structured, which made onboarding smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Pricing can get expensive at scale, especially for high-volume applications. Additionally, translation quality may drop for niche or low-resource languages, and there’s limited context awareness in some scenarios, which can affect nuanced content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Translation Tool"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

It just works. Seriously, for basic translation needs, it’s reliable and fast. The fact that it supports so many languages out of the box saves us time.no need to hack together custom solutions for rare dialects. The pricing is clear (pay-as-you-go) and scales well for big projects. Integration with other Google Cloud services is smooth, and the documentation is decent. I also like the glossary feature; it helps keep brand-specific terms consistent across translations. For quick tasks, like translating user comments or product descriptions, it’s a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Good for everyday use, but don’t expect magic. You’ll still need human eyes for critical stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google Cloud Translation API Review"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

The best thing about Google Cloud Translation API is wide language support and the other is ease of intergration . Simple REST or gRPC APIs and robust client libraries make integration quick and straightforward, even for developers new to Google Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

The thing that bothers me alot is that pricing-per-using that is like translation costs are based on the number of characters processed, which can become expensive for applications with large volumes of text or frequent usage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Translation, Rough Costs"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

I enjoyed a number of features of the Cloud Translation API, including:

the excellent translation quality.

its wide range of language support.

the simplicity of integration and deployment into my applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

However, I wasn't entirely satisfied with a few features of the Cloud Translation API:

Cost: The rates may be too expensive, particularly for large-scale translation requirements.

Domain-Specific and Contextual Restrictions: Depending on the situation, a word may have several meanings. These subtleties are frequently missed by the API, leading to erroneous translations.

Security Issues: I'm concerned about latency in some applications and data privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google API translation is Best or Not"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

Google Cloud Translation API is the best for translation because it translates exactly what data we provide for translation, without adding or subtracting anything on its own. This ensures that the data we provide to the Google Cloud API is translated accurately, allowing new translators to trust the translation without any mistakes. And all this without any cost. The best thing about Google Cloud Translation is that it is available for free to everyone, which anyone can use without hesitation, and it is very convenient to use. Thank you Google Cloud API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Yes, I don't like the Google Cloud Translation API for some reasons. The biggest reason is that it doesn't automatically understand and translate sentences correctly. As a result, when we provide data for translation, this Google Cloud API translates it exactly as it is, even though some words have different meanings. There is a lot of room for improvement here because nowadays there are so many AI platforms whose memory is so sharp that if you just give them a few keywords, they will describe a lot to you. Therefore, to stay in competition, Google Cloud AI also needs to improve itself. Otherwise, everyone will start using AI tools, even if they have to pay, because when you get very good results with just a little detail, people are willing to pay. Thank you.

"Quick translation but sometime misses the meaning"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

I liked that it works fast and supports many languages. Its easy to start and we get the translation in seconds. For normal sentences, it does the job good without much headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Sometimes the translation doesn't feels natural. If the sentence has emotions, jokes or slang words, it just translate word by word and the meaning is lost. It feels like a robot did it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
