It is easily downloadable from the Microsoft app store. It allows us to translate words or sentences. I like that it's fast in translation and works for both mobile and computer. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Translator?** I do not appreciate the fact that many languages have to be loaded separately and are not part of the basic package, in fact I needed to translate from Chinese and had to download additional packages.

Better than other online translators, it also allows you to hear the pronunciation of the translated languages. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Translator?** its defect is given by the fact that we have limited translations available, and this is a big flaw.

Far Better than Google Translate, that's for sure! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Microsoft Translator?** I use the app version as opposed to the browser version, and I find the app better than anything Google Translate could have ever done! The accuracy of translations is on par. I use when communicating with potential clients in Egypt, and sometimes to check its accuracy I open the same word up on Google and find that MS Translator understands the words better. I am not a native speaker of Arabic, so things like that is helpful, especially if I'm currently in the Middle East. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Translator?** No dislikes. I just got tired of GT's lack of understanding. Happy that MS is beating Google in this! Altho, even as a freelancer, sometimes you simply can't make head or tails of certain translations - for examples, idioms or local proverbs. Those, you'd have to lookup on the internet manually. When it fails a translation, it provides a transliteration of the word you typed - and if you didn't know any better, you'd think it was the translation instead. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Translator:** Definitely use in place of GT. I'd like to think that it was more complicated than it really was, but it wasn't. **What problems is Microsoft Translator solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use this to meet with potential clients who are from the Middle East. I am not a native speaker and It helps me better understand what they want. ### 6.

There are times when you are translating long sentences, it will translate it word per word hence losing it's meaning or thought on the translated language.

Most accurate online translator **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Translator?** Working for a multinational company you will always find a need to translate texts from other languages. After comparing multiple translators I've found Microsoft Translator to be the most accurate for translating Chinese to English or Spanish to English. Find it to be truly accurate to context while other translators are more on the literal translation side. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Translator?** Not much to dislike but would be good to have an easier way to find the tool from Bing.com Would be good if there is an easier share tool. Also would be good if the translation tool also gives the user the option to see the Literal vs Contextual translation. At times a Literal translation is required for work in terms of legal vs the contextual portion that relates more for the business sense. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Translator:** Run a translation comparing Google Translate or others vs Microsoft Translator and you'll find that Microsoft Translator provides better context. **What problems is Microsoft Translator solving and how is that benefiting you?** I tend to get a lot of emails that originally start in Chinese and would require to translate these to understand the context of the task at hand. Many times I've found the delegated task is not on par with what the original task or background information provided by colleague was about 70% accurate, or lost in translation. Context would have to be the most important feature as without context the literal translation of the texts do not make much sense, especially when translating from non-Latin based language. ### 31.
