Without a doubt, the Google translator is the most used ace in the world, its accessibility and speed of translation make it chosen by millions of users every day, but do you know all the functions that this translator offers us?
We all know and use the most basic and simple function, that of translating words from one language to another, but this tool has much more to offer.
If I want to translate from my computer
Functions of the translator on the computer
In the event that we open the Google translator in the browser of our computer we will be able to observe several functions. The first one is to write the word, phrase or text that we want to translate, although from the computer we also have the option of saying it into the microphone or activating handwriting.
Although we can go beyond a simple text translation, and it is that we can drag a document, in any of the main formats, so that it can be fully translated for us. We can even translate an entire web page either by using the direct access from the web that we want to translate or by copying the link and pasting it into the translator itself.
Once we have chosen the format of our translation, we can choose between the 133 available languages and we can even wait for Google to detect the language in which you are writing, if you are not sure what language it is in.
A very positive point of this translator is that it has an option, the emoticon of the arrows that is in the middle, which allows you to change the language, so if you were looking for a German-Spanish translation, just by pressing that button you can make the translation spanish-german.
It also has an option to listen to how what you have just translated is pronounced, to help you understand and communicate better.
We can also translate from mobile
Translator features on mobile
Just as we do with the computer, from our mobile device, whether Android or Apple, we can enjoy it.
Its operation is very similar to the computer function, however, it is true that there are some differences. For example, it doesn’t allow you to translate entire documents, but they make up for it with the ability to translate a conversation live thanks to Google’s AI while also allowing you to take a picture of a text and translate what it says.
Lastly, in both versions we have the option to see our translation history and we can even add some of them, the most recurring and important ones, to favorites to always have them at hand.
It is important to note that despite the fact that the translator is so large and widely used, it still has some glitches when it comes to translating, not words, but rather when translating the meaning of a sentence in each context, so It never hurts to take a second look at what you just translated.
