In Translator 4+

Good app. Shortcuts need work.

The app is pretty useful and it's fairly priced. Unfortunately, the only available shortcut to translate is 'Double tap CMD C', which is awkward and unusual. Would be nice if there was a way to customize the shortcut.

Works very well

I'm using it since about a month for bulk translation of texts, which then I review manually. It's very quick and works very well. As all automatic translators, it doesn't understand exactly the meaning of certain idiomatic expressions that only a human can discover, as expected. I've found a small problem: I usually translate from Spanish to English by copying and pasting onto the floating translator window using Cmd-C &Cmd-V. Sometimes, Cmd-V doesn't work on the source language upper pane (the cursor stays on the lower pane for some reason) and I must right click and use the paste option to actually paste the text to be translated. I guess this is a program bug probably easy to fix by the developers. Besides that, no problems so far. Thanks!

Bait and switch - updated

I bought the extension and after a few weeks was told I needed to buy a subscription to continue using this, which was not disclosed.

In the last few days there has been a prompt to restart Safari to update In Translator, which has restored the original functionality of the extension.

I still cannot recommend this since I do not know whether future updates will again create this issue again. It is also not clear whether the extension will remain independent from the app that the updated prompted me to install.

Developer Response ,

Hello!

The new 2.0 version is a major version, it comes as a full-featured app, not just a Safari extension of 1.0 version released one year ago.

In 2.0 version we integrated with several paid services to make the experience better, such as high quality speech engine. So it comes with subscription business model.

To make the upgrade experience smoothly for existing users, we design to make them can always use the Safari extension without any problem, the subscription service of the app is total optional.

We will continue to improve the experience of the app.
