Microsoft Translator for Android

翻译软件很好用，就是英文翻译成中文的时候，英文不能发音，这个很麻烦，要是两个都可以发音就好了。

The photo feature saves a lot of time. It’s nice to have text, photo and speech in one app without requiring premium upgrades.

I downloaded this app because I’m learning Cantonese and it's one of the few translators that support it. I’m really happy to see Microsoft recognizing Canto and making resources available for learners. That being said, I went through the mandarin phrase book out of curiosity, and there are many, MANY errors. For those familiar, it literally tells people to say “I don’t speak Chinese simplified,” which refers to a writing system not a spoken language. It goes on to suggest asking for a phone number by saying “how MUCH is your phone number” (你的电话号码是多少). There are also cases where the pinyin romanization does not match the characters above. Most of these errors wouldn’t make it impossible to be understood, but you’d definitely get laughed at. 1 star because although the translator seems fine, the phrase book is unexpectedly terrible and anyone who would actually need/use it would never be the wiser.

It’s probably one of the best apps out there or probably the best that I’ve tested so far. It’s really easy to use and the translation is spot on. Truly recommend

Well done very nice app.
