AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

Pros & Cons:

Pros

  • Very easy to navigate
  • You can text and email the translated text
  • You can adjust font size

Cons

  • You can’t hear how the translation pronunciation
  • There isn’t an option to copy and paste text to be translated (work-around is to send text as SMS or email and copy from those apps)
  • You can’t write in the native text of a different language (besides English) and have it translated (unless you change the language on your phone)
  • iPhone version has more customization options than Android version

Features:

When you open iTranslate the translation options are on the first screen. The app has few customization options within the menu tab; this reduces having to constantly go to different screens. The translation engine is powered by Google Translate.

The menu button gives you the option to send to email or SMS text message. At the bottom right of the translation boxes lies an italic “i” that you click on. This is to modify font size, email feedback to the developer, and search for affiliated applications to iTranslate.

Gripe Alert: we’ve reviewed other language translation apps that go quite farther in features than this app; such as Talk to Me or Trippo Mondo Voice Translator which not only allow you to write text for translation, but allow voice input plus audible pronunciation.

Usefulness:

If you are traveling in a country or an area where the people you interact with speak a different language. This app can provide quick translations that’s simple and easy to use.

Ease of Use:

iTranslate for Android is very easy to use and navigate. When you open up the app two translation boxes appear, you select the language you want translated from the iPhone-style spin wheel and you choose the language you want it translated too… type your text and go.

Frequently Used:

Only used as needed for say travel, writing, course study, etc.

Interface:

The user interface is simple and slick taking design cues from its iPhone counterpart.

Should you Download iTranslate? If a simple translation tool is what you seek then it’s fine, however we would recommend more feature loaded for Android!

    Please stop naming things with an i in front of it, developers. iTranslate on Android seems wrong!

  1. [...] For the traveler looking for a more extensive tutorial, I suggest downloading the AccelaStudy Essentials app.  This free app comes with flashcards, quizzes, and a large word list.  You can personalize your experience by creating study sets out of the vocabulary.  The full version is available for $9.99.   If you want an app with commonly used phrases in a variety of categories such as Money, Lodging, Medical, and Eating Out, try Babelingo. It is lacking in the phonetic pronunciation and audio departments, especially for the non-western languages, but can be useful. It is currently “on sale” for $1.99, iPhones only.  For Android users, try iTranslate.
