Hi

which apps/websites etc do you use more often when translating things

thanks

 

the only google translate alternative i ever use still is babelfish: https://www.babelfish.com

 

DeepL translator

 

https://chat.openai.com/ is the most accurate text translator currently.
Nothing comes close to this.

 

When I wrote the book review format, I used ordinary translators in addition to grammar checking services, in general, I did not find such a complex thing, so I worked like this. As a result, I like everything and I did not find critical grammatical errors

For simple translation of webpages, I use the built-in tool in Vivaldi browser. Might not be the best, but it's offline (if one cares about that, I do for many reasons), and it's always there. And of course it's built in it's always in the sidebar, just a short cut away.

I'm sure you can get similar for other browsers though, I'm not entirely sure switching browsers just for this is worth it. But if you do a lot of research stuff on the web, then the notes (instantly grab selected text and save it to a note) + translation is a lifesawer.

So for me the convenience of integration beats everything.

edit: ah, necro'd topic, ignore me and move on

I recommend using tools like Google Translate, DeepL, and Linguee for accurate and efficient translations.

 

Learn at least 2 languages.
Go to a translator.
And then do a switching test.
(Take a normal everyday sentence and translate it into the languages you don't know. Then translate it back into the other languages you do know.)
..The sentence structure and vocabulary can seem very funny to some (AI) translators.

 

I used to use other things but google translate has gotten way better in the past couple years
