"Seamless Integration for Global Reach"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

I really appreciate how Google Cloud Translation API makes it possible to localize my product by offering local languages, which is essential since I don't speak many languages. The integration process is a breeze, thanks to Google. Setting it up was straightforward, though it does require some coding experience. It's been fantastic because it allows me to scale up faster and expand into different regions, something I couldn't achieve before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

I haven't run into any issues yet. The only part I don't like is that it is owned by Google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient with Quick Setup, Needs Better Translation Accuracy"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

I like the Google Cloud Translation API for its automated and prompt response, which saves me time. It's especially helpful when dealing with big texts or content in languages I'm not familiar with, like when I work with Nordics or Baltic languages such as Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, or Icelandic. The setup is quick and easy, even if you're not that into computers. It doesn't take much time at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

It doesn't give me exact translation when translating from English to Portuguese or vice versa. A competitor like DeepL works better for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the Google Cloud Translation API is inaccurate, which is to be expected, but it’s still annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automatically Detects Words to Translate and useful for batch translation."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

Definitely the best and direct reasons why I like best the Google Cloud Translation API is it can automatically detect context that needs to be translated especially if it already knows I dont know that language and not just words but a whole set of words. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Probably a very common reason why some people might dislike it as well is that sometimes the translation lacks the regional or colloquial language it translates, and only provides the general translation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Translation Quality from Google’s API"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

I've always liked Google's products. I've used this API as well, and I'm happy with its translation quality. However, I haven't used the real-time translation API yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Well, the price is a factor. Of course, this isn't just a Google issue—they need to make money too. But it also adds to our costs. Since we need to translate user-generated content into other languages, we're forced to spend part of our revenue on translation services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
