by Firefox user 13576768, 6 years agoClunky and slow sometimes, but powerful
Slow: As someone coming from the instant translation world of rikaichamp etc. the half second wait time for the translation feels pretty bad. I understand that translating any language requires online connection though, so this is pretty unavoidable. Edit: There's offline caching in the iOS version
Clunky: Many powerful options, but many of the ones actually useful for me are clunky. E.g.
- Disabling the popups takes 4 clicks, a new tab, and at least 15 seconds. For an addon that changes the appearance of the page whenever one selects any(!) text, this should be a huge and obvious switch right in the toolbar options.
- When a word is selected, the "translate page" right click entry should disappear, so I don't have to navigate my mouse through the tiny 25px "2 options here >" line
- The phonetic transcription, and voice pronunciation, is for the translation target? I know how to pronounce English
- Options in the on-page popup open the settings page for some reason, instead of e.g. changing the target language
- Missing the click on the small popup icon unselects the selected text and leads to frustration. It should be possible to increase the clickable area (with visual feedback when mouse hover) without increasing the icon size

- Rated 1 out of 5by omegadir, 2 days agoAsk to pay before you can you ever start and without paying its basically useless. Another "pay now and gamble if its good" type of addon which is using AI to translate page into disjointed sentences. In another words a plain scam.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Misha, a year agoThe button in the top right corner of the page is blocking Discord's function buttons, making it difficult to close windows such as search.
- Rated 5 out of 5by mjrini777, 2 years agoI really truly do love this translation app, it's easily the best one I own and have owned!!! :)
- Rated 3 out of 5by 000000, 2 years agoNot the best and smartest translation. The best use of it is as a dictionary.
Outdated UI. Need option to sync the theme with the system. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mr.Andersan, 2 years agoЕщё установить не успел, а уже заплати... Самый тупой "развод" на премиум акк.
А в итоге удалил нах эту блевотину умудрённую и бестолковую... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17325730, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cam, 2 years agoLe meilleur de tous les traducteurs en ligne (et j'ai essayé presque toutes les extensions de traduction automatique).
Je l'utilise généralement sur des sites de fanfictions : c'est pourquoi je donne un avis si dithyrambique. Rien, en effet, n'est aussi complexe que la traduction d'un récit.
Il est également très pratique de pouvoir voir dans une petite fenêtre la phrase originale : il suffit juste de passer sa souris juste au-dessus de la phrase en question.
Notez enfin que je ne me sers que de la version gratuite (non professionnelle).
