Translate 4+

Ok so my biggest issue with this app and basically any of the translation apps is they never give u the different options. Like with Spanish. U select Spanish but they only give you the “Spain” Spanish..not the Mexico Spanish. And if u know any Spanish at all you know that that actually is a HUGE issue.. being as the two aren’t the same. So u could say somethin in Spain Spanish and it not mean anything at all or is off.. it’s really annoying and honestly I don’t understand why the people who make the app like the ppl who speak the language they are adding doesn’t say anything or whatever to make the creator’s actually add the correct things.. I mean y’all put all this time into making the app and all the languages right? So why in the world would u basically cut it short by being lazy and not adding the ‘Mexico’ one.. it’s just really annoying and if they actually did that they’d get 5 stars..I’m being nice with the 2 stars I voted.. that’s how big of a deal that actually is and I’m not sure why no one has fixed that.. I mean I can’t be the only one who has a problem with that.. so if they don’t add that soon I’ll likely delete the app for snothoer. The only reason I’ve got this app is cuz it came on the phone wen I bought the phone from Verizon. So I figured it’d likely be the best one I could get BUT, CLEARLY I’m wrong cuz there’s better ones out there and there’s a good chance I’ll delete this one for another

I am currently using this app along with Siri. I am finding it helpful, but would’ve given it a higher score if it wasn’t for the fact that Siri doesn’t provide, and I believe the app doesn’t either, consistent honorifics when translating. I believe honorifics are important especially when it comes to most Asian languages. This is extremely important for foreigners who are trying to learn a language involving honorifics. The automatic installation of honorifics in the translations with the option to see the translation without it at the touch of a switch would be very helpful. I hope you will take my review and suggestions seriously. For quite some time I’ve been trying to self learn Hangul. I will admit it was hard just before writing this review that I realized Siri could translate back so easily. One last suggestion, if it’s not already installed. Once the first issues are resolved would it be possible to have Siri respond in the foreign language of the user’s choice? In addition, the user can choose whether or not have Siri speak back in honorifics. As someone who has tried many different ways to learn Hangul, will you please consider my suggestions and recommendations? Thank you.

Why hasn’t this app added more supported languages, yet? ESPECIALLY for IOS 17?! Latin should ABSOLUTELY be included, not only for personal purposes, but educational. Latin is fundamental to medical education, translation of older texts, animal studies, and so much more! And we need to go BEYOND Latin! Like dialects would be great, but that’s a lot. We could at the very least have options like Spanish (Central & South America), as well as, Spanish (Spain) as they are very different. And that’s just one example. With all of the ways to communicate globally, I would think Apple would be on the forefront of evolving this type of technology in communication. Not to mention, with all of the global migrations, be it from refugees, immigrants, people who are studying abroad, etc., it is ESSENTIAL that we are able to communicate in a sincere and meaningful manner to avoid conflict and discourse. We should absolutely be expanding on this aspect of these issues to evolve as human beings.

C’mon Apple. We can do better. We have to. Especially if you claim to be the “best” and after the radiation issues in France? Or all of the many other issues your company has and will face as tech and AI continue to evolve. You can’t say your the best in security anymore. Pegasus proved that, even though your company tried to keep it quiet. And if you can’t step up? Then I fully support a new company that will.
