Naver Papago - AI Translator Reviews

by Kengnrb. Fhf

I don’t know if it’s just a temporary glitch for me, or it’s permanent, but whenever I click on NaverPapago , it force closes. I tried to re-download NaverPapago , as well as turning off my phone, but that didn’t work. It never did this before, so I find this ridiculous that it’s happening now, the time when I use it the most.

Fix this right now!!

Since the last 2 updates, NaverPapago has become unreliable and doesn’t translate words correctly anymore. It inserts words that aren’t there ... Basically gibberish. You can get three or more different translations for the same word or sentence. NaverPapago used to be reliable and the translations were spot on, not so much anymore...What happened to NaverPapago I used to love? Please go back to the way it was before these last few updates.I don’t want to have to find another more reliable app to use to converse with my Korean friends.

I’m a bit annoyed lately with NaverPapago because it doesn’t translate well anymore. I have been using papago for two years to converse with my korean friend. I’m still learning korean so I can tweak a few words that are probably incorrect in translation but lately NaverPapago has been inserting words and names that aren’t even being used in the sentence. It would be translating nouns like older sister to a weird name. Instead of translating it 언니 as sister it would say Suji Joo. What da heck? It would be talking about watching a movie when I’m not even mentioning movies.

Been using NaverPapago for year or two and it was very reliable and i was glad to use it. But it seems lately it gives out gibberish words and phrases that mean nothing related to the true definition. I’m getting frustrated with it and i am considering going to another app. It has been so disappointing to type in a word that i know is spelt correctly and it can come up with multiple definitions that make no sense. As I type the word it will come up with a phrase and/or word not relevant to what I typed and then it seems I am lucky if the true definition appears on my screen.

I use NaverPapago probably daily since it’s release since I work with multiple language speakers and need to check things often.

Since a few updates ago, the Image Translation function seems to have a bug. Every time I open it, it resets to “Detect Language” even if I already had one selected.

Maybe it’s an intentional feature, but if so it’s just annoying and time-consuming to select the language every single time.

Having it reset to Detect Language also means it takes more and more time to analyze an image, much more time than it would if my selected language for typing were automatically selected for images like before.

Please either A) change the settings to allow me to have it default to Detect Language or my selected languages; or, B) Have it default to whatever language is selected again like it was before.

I’d give NaverPapago 5 stars if this feature weren’t creating a big hassle for me in literally a daily basis.

can you please upgrade the dictionary on NaverPapago ? im trying to learn korean and I use NaverPapago to tell me what certain things mean but often times it give strange, wrong or not enough translations. for example 일, this can mean work, day or the number 1 but when I type it in it only gives me the definition of “work” also same goes for the word 팔 which can mean either the number 8 or arm. a while ago I was on NaverPapago and it actually did give me more definitions for certain words like 일 and 팔 and I was really happy about that but for some reason that’s not there anymore and im wondering why. please upgrade the korean dictionary.

I have been using NaverPapago everyday for months now, but suddenly NaverPapago wouldn’t open at all and crashes everytime I attempt to open it. I tried updating, uninstalling and installing again, and it still will not work. However when it does work, it’s a very helpful app.

This feature used to work fine before but recently stopped working. I can’t pull up pictures from my photo library to translate anymore. It still works if I take a picture on NaverPapago , but not if I try to translate a picture I have saved. Also, the detect language on the image translation has been buggy.

I think that as a text translator, NaverPapago excels is this sense. However, the audio translator can be very annoying to use because it will often translate one sentence or even phrase at a time, rather than waiting for you, or an entire audio clip, to finish completely. Despite this it does translate audio clips very well, I just wish it was better at understanding when I am done speaking.

by LlamaAlex

Ive been using this for a couple years now but the last couple months its completely stopped working. Doesnt matter which language or the length of the text, it doesnt translate anything. Not really sure whats going on, but I havent had any issue with it until then.

by Stevelyn_XD

Don’t get me wrong, NaverPapago is amazing but it just needs some new improvements. Maybe there could be more languished options and a detect language option?

by LarlaHarla

I’ve used NaverPapago for years. It’s only gotten better and better. Today, when I tried to import a photo, it popped up photo/album, but nothing happened when I pressed them. I checked the settings and my iPad has access to the photos. Please fix this soon. Thanks!

I love everything about NaverPapago and will continue to use it until my phone breaks down. I love everything about NaverPapago. From the fact that it is basically free and can use anything you want to translate. I usually see people restricting areas of an app until paid, which is the lost in frustrating thing. Normally I download an app that I need for one specific purpose. But when I see that option it costs BIG. When I use NaverPapago, I get what I need Easily
and freely. I will continue to use apps from this creater.

NaverPapago keeps getting better and better! I am very satisfied with how helpful it is.
Recently they’ve added the romanization of the Korean words which is good if you’re a beginner but once you learn the alphabet it is unnecessary and I wouldn’t suggest relying on it.
I can’t think of anything I would do to change it or something that would make it better.
I would definitely recommend this to EVERYONE!!!

I’m trying to learn Japanese, and a lot of phrasing gets messed up in google. The photo text translator is amazingly accurate, and picks up on non standard fonts. Plus it will also show you the hiragana pronunciation for kanji. I only wish there were a way to import your results somehow into a database app like Jisho, since I’m attempting to grasp the nuances of the grammar and remember kanji

Thanks to NaverPapago I can finally support my favorite Korean artists on Ridibooks. It isn’t perfect but it does really well most of the time and even when the translations aren’t perfect they are still good enough for me to figure out what is being said. And it has no trouble translating text in bubbles in webtoons. I love NaverPapago so much!

by LongLiveLaughter

I really like NaverPapago and totally plan on continuing to use it in the future. In the future of NaverPapago development, I’d definitely like to see a real time translation and a way to turn change words to their “polite forms” for Japanese similar to the “honorifics” options in Korean.

This is the best translator app I have ever used by far. There is access to so many things without having to pay and I have yet to have gotten any ads. Not only is the translating free is also incredibly good and accurate. It has been so helpful to me!!!

I go through app after app after app just to find the perfect app that meets my needs. The camera part works great. I can easily find translate something from my computer. Not sure if the translations are a hundred percent on the dot but otherwise it’s GREAT, I don’t have to pay to get camera translations

I wanted to read Korean novels, but didn’t have the skills to do so. Google translate did the job poorly with nonsensical translations. Evolly was better, but still had issues with sentence structure and names. Then, I came across Papago, which could translate sentences fluidly and make it easier to read page by page. I haven’t tried Japanese, but it would be fantastic on a future trip to Japan.

by Justletmegetonwithit!

Trying to rely on NaverPapago for my job and have just become horribly disappointed in the fact that it is giving me incorrect translations and even different translations for the same word. Will be forced to look for a different app since this one has become untrustworthy for relaying important information for both party’s jobs

by Len-dale

When I was saying something in another language Papago didn’t translate it right. It would say I said something totally different then what I said. Then I went to google and said the same thing and it translated exactly what I said in that language. And I find it funny how it said it was translated with google but worked totally different.

by KS4321

If you’re switching to this because Naver just discontinued their previous translator, you’ll be disappointed This doesn’t stand up if you’re learning Korean. The translations don’t seem to be as accurate to me, and it doesn’t list the terms its accessing, which was great for a learner. This may be moderately useful if all you need is to translate and you’re not a language learner. Also annoying, when you tap the language toggle arrow, it does not carry the translated text and retranslate, so you have to type it in or copy and paste.

I love NaverPapago ! It’s really amazing !
It helps me communicate with my korean friends who don’t speak English !
And the honorific addition was bomb !
But I wish NaverPapago could translate offline too , it would be amazing help !

by Musk Melon

At first I thought NaverPapago was a piece of crap. Then I realized I was trying to translate English into Japanese instead of the other way around. Easy to use, and accurate translations. 5 star

by Tetrahecik

I love NaverPapago. I find it way better than Google Translate, as it’s Korean/Japanese/Chinese translations are really true to form. It’s invaluable if you’re learning these languages or just want a quick word to look up. 고맙습니다 네이버는!

by Frizz Cakes

Papago is the most reliable translation app I’ve used!

It would be even better if, in addition to the translation, it offered the dictionary form of your conjugated words like it does on the website. :)

For example, when you search ‘몰라요,’ it would be more convenient if the words ‘I don’t know’ and ‘모르다’ show up.

이용한 번역 앱들 가운데 바로 파파고가 제일 믿을 수 있는 앱입니다!

번역이 아주 좋은데 파파고 웹사이트에서처럼 단어를 검색할 때 사전 형식도 포함되면, 파파고 앱이 더 좋을 것 같습니다. :)

예를 들면 ‘몰라요’ 검색할 때 ‘I don’t know’하고 ‘모르다’고 단어들 같이 나타나면 더 편하게 될 것 같습니다.

I NEVER write review but I just had to commend NaverPapago for being so useful. It has a phrase book, honorific/casual switch, and has a vocal option to use if you want to say the phrase instead! I love NaverPapago, thank you Naver Papago!

by Dee_dance

I recently moved to Korea and PAPAGO has truly been an asset to my survival. Papago has been the most effective at translating English to Korean and vice versa. Other translators have been unable to effectively form sentences in their correct order. If you plan on visiting Korea, GET NaverPapago. Along with all the other NAVER apps ^^

by Alyssa Washburn

I love NaverPapago, but I wish they would add danish, since my friend is danish, he likes to try and teach me danish, but I learn better by exposure so he says danish words around me, but half the time I have no idea what he says so having that language on NaverPapago would be great!

by Kamira Akari

Great app (especially because there's no romanisation–as romanisation is inaccurate). It's also really useful because there's the formality translation tool, too. 고마워요!
