Senior Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/11/2019 "Need to add unidirectional translation to translate a word in two languages" 4/5 What do you like best about Microsoft Translator? Its offline translation feature works well as compared to other translation tools. I like its clean UI and speed of translation. Importantly, it supports the offline translation of around 12 languages and after downloading them, one can translate anytime without connecting to the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Translator? In my opinion, Microsoft Translate should add support to translation in two or more languages simultaneously. As I work in a media and technology company, I often feel the need to translate a sentence or word in more than two languages to publish media posts on social networks. Therefore, simultaneous language translation is a good option to save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Translator: If one needs fast and precise translation then Microsoft Translate is best for you. Likewise, it works offline and offers a very good user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Microsoft Translator solving and how is that benefiting you? We mostly use Microsoft Translate for social media posts. We use it to translate sentences into different regional languages mainly for social media.

President Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/9/2019 "Top-Notch Translator - Gives You the Best Result" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Microsoft Translator? It's an offline app. Which means, Without internet connectivity, I still make use of the Microsoft translator. Apart from just being an offline app, the translated scripts, are very easy to read. It works virtually on any modern phone and there is no need for any custom AI chip. What interest me most about this app is that, it does not only spell checks, and provides words that are similar, but it also pronounce the words in both languages. This is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Translator? Though it's an offline enabled app, the only downside of the Microsoft Translator, which I find not really an issue, is that, you must be connected to the internet to use many of its features. I am also looking forward to Microsoft Cooperation integrating voice translation into the app. Which means, with this app, it will be able to translate any word that it hears through the voice recognition. This is my sugge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Translator: It's definitely a go. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Microsoft Translator solving and how is that benefiting you? It typically helps to solve the barriers of communications.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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.
