Translate Reviews

Literally nothing happens when I type in the text to this app and press the “go” button. The text simply disappears from the screen and doesn’t show any sort of translation. It doesn’t even show the original text anymore. It’s like Translate resets every time you enter text and press “go.” The text disappears and nothing happens after that. Even trying to press the microphone to speak the translation doesn’t work because the microphone button doesn’t seem to do anything either. It won’t even initiate a recording to this app.

It’s like this is a dud app developed solely to take up space. I followed all the directions and enabled all the permission, and still Translate is a dud. Apparently it works for some people but a lot of people can’t get it to work for any language. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the languages, and deleted and redownloaded Translate itself, and still it doesn’t work.

It sometimes worked on my old iPhone 7, but has never worked on my iPhone XR. Maybe it only works on the newest iPhone models? As Apple’s way of forcing us to upgrade to the latest line of iPhones. But I’m not doing that. I’ll just go back to iTranslate or Google this app instead. Those apps may collect data on me but at least they always worked when I needed them to.

I am using this for French, in conjunction with other apps and materials, and it does a pretty decent job of translating things well. Those are the good things. The bad things are…it’s not user friendly at all. If you’re working on something and have to get out of Translate for more than about 5 mins, everything just disappears. There are no options to save anything, other than to add it to favorites, which doesn’t really work as a file. Another annoying thing is how the font jumps from normal size to giganto lettering, flipping the screen horizontally and upside down, without me touching anything but trying to scroll down ro read what I translated. When I tried to get it back to the previous screen, it somehow deleted ALL of the conversations and translations I had “stored” into favorites, and I only hit something that looked like a back-arrow. Super frustrating-I spent more time trying to figure out how Translate worked, than doing my lessons. Bottom line: it mostly stinks and I deleted it. Lol

This is a great and accurate translator app and I am glad that Apple finally got on board in creating one, but it needs more languages including language variations. In case you're not aware - Spanish (Spain) is NOT the same as Spanish (Mexico) and can often differentiate depending on what the translation is. Please get up to date in regards to this and other similar issues plus the confusing difference between how Translate works when On-Device mode is “on” and/or “off”. As I mentioned before; this app is a great, necessary, and needed addition to Apple’s many apps and has amazing potential but until these mentioned and other bugs within Translate are fixed then it will never be able to compete with and/or let alone be on the same level as/with Google this app. Thank you tremendously in advance!

I had this translator for a long time, and it is not good. i should have let it finish sooner. sometimes when you tap the mic to speak, it will not even pick up your words and when you close Translate and re-open to try again, it will still not pick up what you are saying which is SO annoying!!!!!!! it doesn’t even pick up the right words sometimes even if you are saying it clearly. very bad translator , and you should give more languages and also not just include translator from a certain region (e.g. spain, france.) work on your app, and the new update is annoying bc sometimes if you are speaking another language, it will think you are speaking something else for example let’sssy you do german to eng or vise versa if you speak english , it will think you are speaking german and if you speak german it will think you are speaking english which is frustrating so change it and maybe more people will like your app. i honestly wish i could give you CERO stars.

Translate has fantastic potential, and its translations are accurate and natural. The interface looks like it would be good, but once you try to use it you find that it’s shockingly broken. This isn’t normal from Apple, and it’s frankly a little surprising that this thing was even released in its current state. (My theory is that we’re seeing the result of 2+ years of WFH culture.)

The main two issues: it’s difficult and confusing to switch languages and to make that setting “stick”. And more importantly, the “Go” button often does nothing except close the sheet into which you were typing. This button is the most important UI element in the whole app, and more often than not it just plain doesn’t work.

I’m sure Translate will be fixed in time, but it should never have been released as it is now.

Two stars for basic ‘ease’ of use - if only typing simple phrases for translation.
The reality is - the most common use of language on a day-to-day, person-to-person basis is the spoken language.
Apple products (namely Siri) have difficulty understanding the human voice when speaking English much less a nonnative language. Quite frustrating. It’s not just me. It seems to be a widespread reality. Siri is better at recognizing my voice versus say the blender. (And that, not always.) Understanding and distinguishing words is another realm beyond Siri.
To date, any app within the Apple environment that uses or especially requires Siri is going to sadly fall well short of any expectations.

The most simplistic part of Translate is the ability to change languages to start a conversation. After that, everything becomes a chore:
- Every feature requires two or three additional taps or interface selections, which often makes the experience confusing and leaves the user wondering what to do next.
- App will often take an extended time to populate a translation, with no interface indication about the progress of the command that has been given.
- Voice-to-text feature often will not populate a translation, and incorrectly continuing after ending voice option will erase what has been typed.
- Selecting the text field to edit what has been written via voice-to-text, will often delete what has been written.

I downloaded Translate before our last trip to mexico. We don’t speak Spanish and I have a slight hearing problem (deaf in one ear). This makes it difficult for me to understand the enunciation of words sometimes. I struggle with certain tones and that makes learning to communicate in a different language difficult. I hated asking everyone local how to say something and then not getting the word correct because I couldn’t hear their answers. With this application I could look up words and phrases and then the locals would teach me the “less formal” or easier way to say those phrases. I could communicate and this made the trip much more fun!

As someone learning a new language I️ use Translate to often this app something from my target language into my native language. My problem with Translate is that if I️ want to this app something from the target language into my native language and I need to hear the pronunciation of the target language I️ am unable to do so because Translate only provides audio translation for the translation itself. If I️ then try to reverse the translation where I type the word from my native language to my target language then I️ don’t always get the exact translation of what I’m looking for and therefore can’t hear how something is pronounced. I️ wish there was an option to hear the audio pronunciation for what you’re translating and what’s been translated.

You can not switch the language over to a different language. You try and exit out, should work right???? Right??? Wrong! Literally preloads what you last had on there and it doesn’t matter how hard you try to switch the language it doesn’t work. I have tried every button and every option. Nothing works. Come on Apple step up the game a bit here.

Edit: I’m not changing my rating, but I figured out how to switch languages, convoluted! You have to change the languages at the top, tap the world symbol in the lower left part of the keyboard, change the keyboard back to English, then exit out of the keyboard, go back into it, then you can type and have it translated. What?! Been laughing at this for a while now, but I had to share in case anyone else was struggling. Convinced the only 5 star reviews are from Dev’s

You have one shot and one shot only to this app something. Don’t expect to use this more than once because Translate physically won’t allow you to. Once you this app your first go round that’s the languages and that’s your sentence. It’s like a genie with one wish and one wish only. But you can only ask it to this app something for you. Seriously???! Fix the ***** bugs Apple what is wrong with you? Like really why can’t you delete what you translated? Why can’t you change the languages? Better hope you don’t press the wrong language on accident. Oh and don’t expect it to let you just speak into the mic because there’s no way to stop it and it’ll just keep listening and listening and listening… oh and listening. If I could give no stars that would be completely ideal.

The name of the game for Apple, doesn’t matter if it is with network sharing, network teaming, external storage capabilities, or dozens of other technologies. Apple Inc consistently comes to the table with little to nothing to offer, and when they make their initial appearance, it is wholly insufficient. The handful of languages they bring in the offering of this app are already well covered by a number of more trusted applications. You’d think they’d try to zero in on an audience where they can become invaluable, and become…invaluable. Nope, we’re going to stand over here and be ignored by everyone, while the more main players stay more main, and we gain squat in market share. F-Idiots sit under your command Timothy, scared to be brave, intimidated to be daring. Stick with hardware, your software is losing.

Translate definitely needs an update. No doubt. Interface can be sort of slow but I was just with a girl from Columbia and Translate is the only one that would re arrange the words properly to make a coherent sentence in Spanish. Anybody who’s not a nitwit knows than a sentence in English will almost never be in the same order from start to finish in another language and vice versa. Apple and Google always puts it in normal order. Also I just learned Translate integrates with ig and others to instantly this app using their method and it works every time

It’s generally pretty good and gives accurate results but there should be a way to forgo having to choose the meaning of the word (e.g. when a word has to different meanings Translate should try to use context or just give multiple translations, the whole point of translating sometimes is to find out something you can’t understand.)

Some smaller problems:
- Translate won’t give me Spanish translations in the tense I need
- has no image translation making it hard to this app signs in languages like Korean, Thai or Arabic

You can this app from one language to English but you can’t reverse it so you can type your response and respond in their language. Google does this and it’s extremely easy. I talk to people on other languages online a lot so I thought this would be useful. Translate was just wasting storage so I deleted it maybe I will reconsider once if apple looks into improving Translate. Making it easier for people to talk back and forth rather than just one way translation. I understand i could change the settings every time and go back and forth but google has a button to swap. Apple does not and when I try to change it , even tho I wrote in English it kept changing it back to Spanish and not translating.

Tried using this with Chinese and I see no pros only cons. Went back to google after a recent translation didn't even this app correctly!! Here are the reasons I deleted Translate :

1) limited languages. Wanted to this app something, but found that there are only maybe 10 languages pre loaded??? And it's missing some MAJOR world languages, why?
2) super glitchy. Tried translating a few time and it just plain didn't work.
3) incorrect translations. Tried to this app 甲鱼 and the translation voice over just spelled the English translation out instead of saying the word. Wouldn't be so bad if it's the CORRECT translation, but whatever it translated, it wasn't 甲鱼!
4) no way to see the phonetics on character based languages you are translating from. For instance, Chinese: I want to verify that the phonetics of the character set I type in are correct, but there is no way to verify, or at least no obvious way. In a language like Chinese, the phonetics are important and change the meaning entirely if they are incorrect, so being able to see that you've selected the correct phonetics is important!!!

Translate has a lot of potential to be a 5 star app, but it needs a lot of features.
1- It needs a quick language switch button ↔️ that swaps the two language into each other’s positions.
2- needs a camera translator like Google Lens.
3- Automatic language selection. Translate should understand what language I’m typing in, and use that as the language to this app from.
4- I love the ability to quickly this app words using a long press. I wish the feature gets merged with the Lookup/Dictionary feature and allows users to see definitions and translations at the same place.

Whenever I use Translate, the microphone works when it wants to work. I click on the mic and the squiggly starts, but it will not interpret the spoken words and when it does, it’ll input the wrong word.
I’m using Spanish to English translation and this has been happening for quite a while. Many many updates have been done on this iPhone 12 Pro and the same followed for the iPhone 11 Pro when I had it.
When is the problem with translation going to get fixed??
I’m trying to use it for my college homework in Spanish.
I have to resort to google translation, but sometimes I just want to use my phone with Translate that came with the device.

All you people that are getting Translate. Good for you just don’t delete it as soon as it resets or something like that. At least try to figure the problem out because Translate can actually help you learn, talk, and so many things that might help you later on in life. So please give Translate a 5 ⭐️. Thank you guys for putting this together I actually got to understand my friend that speaks Spanish for the first time it was so cool!!!!✌🏾👍🏾🤟🏾

Translate was auto installed on my phone with the latest update. I already had Google this app and let me just say, Google this app is SO much better! Translate is not at all easy to use and it cannot instantly this app written words the way Google does. I hadn’t noticed right away that there were now two apps on my phone for this app. At first I had thought this was an update for Google this app and I was so upset because I thought I would be lost in a foreign country unable to understand anyone around me. I was so thrilled when I finally figured out that Google this app was still the same. I promptly deleted Translate from my phone and will NEVER download it again or attempt to use it again.

Look (sigh) i want to like this, but tbh i don’t think Translate is even accurate, i typed stuff in Japanese and Korean and Arabic because I was curious (English US is my native language)and when typing in random characters, I tend to get some…wacky results, heck sometimes I get the same wacky results when typing in completely different characters of the same language. I decided to test Translate. I typed in سخيامبسنطصكيض on Translate and Google this app, your app gave me “Scheyam, I’m going to sleep” but Google this app gave me “Squishy Snacks” I then typed in another translation and the same thing happened, major differences in results. I trust Google more as their translations seem to be more accurate and make more sense than this wacky app, plus the reviews suggest the same thing. Also there is a severe shortage of languages on here! I’m Portuguese as my ancestors and grandparents come from Portugal (Azores) and I wanted to learn more, but Translate, like most, offers only Brazilian Portuguese, and both have differences in words and dialects. I also heard that many on here want Hebrew and Latin American Spanish on here, I also agree that those should be options. What about Udru (the second most spoken language in the world) what about Swedish? What about Polish? Finnish? Heck where is Mongolian? 1 star, very dissatisfied. (Will use Translate as a joke only)

hi please update apple translator app with the best of everything translation with all 7,149 languages please update the apple store every 2 weeks and every month and every year Best App Ever Happiest customer ever in the whole world it even has Dazaga language ❤️💋🐻 Hi there needs to be bosnian cyrillic albanian cyrillic spanish cyrillic azeri cyrillic armenian cyrillic languages and abkhazian language please add that language too and please add translator guru videos for studying languages and their dialects and please add dialects for all languages and please add the option to know what languages are popular in what part of village city or town from each country and what dialect is spoken there and please add the almost extinct croatian language spoken by 200,000 people in croatia and Slavonian language spoken by the Slavonian people in Slavonia part of Slavonia and Herzegovian language too Bosnia has Herzegovian people too not just Bosnian people Hi please update google this app app today please make it better to include sidewalk play couch play Fuschesia RVPG disc and PVDP 20k video graphics discs for computer that would really improve lots of lives in a good romantic way also u just won the lottery with this new video discs and update

This product from Apple is years ahead of all (I mean ALL) other translators. I use it primarily for Spanish.
I’m irritated that Latin Spanish dominates the language but there’s no option. However, Portuguese? Brazilian only. I understand that Latin America has so many dialects and variations. However, there are commonalities from Mexico to Cape Horn. The Barcelona accent is ridiculous. No one in America is trying to sound like a Spaniard.

However, someone at Apple needs to look heavily into the problem of pronombres. Apple this app cannot properly this app with the correct pronouns. She, he, they, we, them, never this app properly. I have to feed the Spanish given to me back through, identify the problems, edit the Spanish which I’m not all that great at yet, feed it back through, and continue this process until the sentences are balanced and properly this app forwards and backwards.

I used this for work to this app from English to Spanish. Unfortunately it only has Spain Spanish and i need Mexican, Latino, Hispanic Spanish. They are similar but are completely different some of my Hispanic customers have no clue of what im saying sometimes because it is Spain Spanish. Translate is okay i just started having problems with it today ive been using it for 8 months now but i took a picture to this app from english to spanish and it didnt work i tried updating but there was no update. so that made me look for a new translator app. i found google this app it has the Mexican Spanish and it is easy to use and the words are accurate!! You dont even have to take a picture you just put the camera on the script and it translates in mini seconds. I am so glad i dont have to struggle with the spain spanish words no more. definitely using and staying with Google this app App!!!!

After recent 16.4 update Translate stopped working offline. Doesn’t matter how many times you try downloading languages, deleting App ENTIRELY and reloading, or whatever else you can come up with. You get “Translation is unavailable at the moment. Try again at a later time.” Disappointing that Apple can’t even get their own App to work on their own iOS operating system. Especially something as simple as a translator which is nothing more than a few relational databases (call them dictionaries if you want) interacting. AI taking over the world on one side, Apple trying to make their own Apps work on their own system on the other. No way Steve would be pleased is all would venture.

UPDATE: Few Days after iOS upgrade the downloaded offline languages are working again. Very glad to see and have changed the 1 star to 3 and crossing fingers going forward.

After a while of trying to use this with studying Spanish I started getting suspicious and started double checking everything with SpanishDict. To put it nicely at best the translations are obscure or secondary (or tertiary). Nada bueno. Just one recent example: I was just listening to a song with the phrase “no te fallo”. I looked it up on this app and it said “I won’t let you”. Well that was not convincing grammatically for in the context of the song. SpanishDict results gave me “I don’t fail you”. Yup, that fits. I was going to rate two stars but really what is the point of having a this app app you can’t trust. Extra disappointing since it’s Apple’s stock this app app. I would rather prefer using native apps… as long as they were arguably the best - or even worked! Disappointingly, unlike the Google this app app, there is not even a place for suggesting corrections, reporting errors, or any community input, nor are there any possible alternative meanings/ results suggested (in case of multiple possible meanings or in cases when it might be wrong).

When I entered seventy four in English it first offered up correctly, soixante quatorze. When I entered seventy four years old it managed, Soixante cinque ans, somehow coming up with the french for sixty five. It has also managed to come up with sixty-fourteen for soixante quarorze. Clearly something is amiss here. Haven’t checked any further as I don’t have the time to spend on it. Francis McCarthy. PS, I also noticed that it’s using the familiar of you, tu, when conversation is most likely to require vous.

And more already, I’ve only had Translate for 48 hours and I keep finding mistakes. I enter, Je suis un luthier, and it translates correctly, I enter, I am a luthier, and it tells me I am luthier. Perhaps it understands it as a name?
I this app books and since I noticed some basic mistakes I have to check everything, sometimes from both directions, French/English or English/French. I have little confidence in Translate.

This could be a really nice app, but the states the interface gets into are confusing. Often Translate somehow gets into a state where it’s in the wrong language and it’s hard to get it to the right one.

It would be helpful if Translate made it plainly obvious, at all times, which language is active for translation. Often it has no indication of this onscreen. And the placeholder text (“Enter Text”) changes languages when you tap on it, further confusing which language is active.

It would make more sense if the placeholder text always gave you the name of the language it’s expecting. (Like, if French is active, always put “French” in the field as placeholder text.) “Enter text” is not helpful placeholder text because your users aren’t morons. You tap on that field and a keyboard shows up! What else are they gonna do? Much better to show the active language instead.

Translate barely works. The translations are almost never correct and they only have like 10 translations options. Whenever I use a word or phrase indicating a gender it always uses the opposite gender. So if the phrase or sentence I want translated mentions “her” it always translates to “him” and vice versa. Also when I go to this app something, it always takes like a minute before it plays the translations. It also crashes and when it does, when I try to open it again, I’m greeted with a blank screen and I can’t do anything after that. For like several days. I have to uninstall it and install it again which has me start all over again. I don’t like how other apps require to purchase add ons. This one is free but adds nothing to the experience. I might as well just pay for the extra stuff on other apps. I think Translate came with the update. Because when I updated to the first iteration of iOS 15 Translate was magically installed afterwards.

Not sure where all the negativity toward Translate is coming from. The translations are as good as the major translators I’ve used. I really like the interface which is clean and uncluttered.

The one big problem for me is the voice translation. First it is unnaturally fast. No real person runs words together that quickly and with no thought for context in the sentence. Much better to slightly slow down the rate.

The other problem is the voice itself. I should be able to select a male voice if I want or choose from a number of other voices. The “italiano” voice is far too high pitched and very annoying. So I never listen to voice translations because of these issues.

Since this translator is specially made for iPhone then we want to say that iPhone is a global one and It has worldwide popularity and iPhone is used in almost all countries of the world, which is actually eye-catching. Looking at how no other brand of phone in the world is used, I want to tell you that there are many languages ​​in the world that are not here, especially many countries in Asia who use iPhone a lot. Using in detail like Bangladesh,India,Pakistan these countries do not have language which is really worth understanding and I think it is very necessary so I request you that you add these languages ​​in it as well as languages ​​of other countries of the world.

this app by Apple is a great app but has room for improvement. They need more languages to this app to as they only have a couple dozen currently. Using Translate off the internet makes transcribe mode disabled, which is very annoying, but definitely not as annoying as the new bug which comes with the new iOS 17 update. With iOS 17, the overall layout of Translate has been changed, which is not that bad, but there is a new bug when typing in letters to this app, they lag a few seconds before actually being typed in. This is TERRIBLE, considering it makes Translate just laggy and unusable. But it is convenient when needing an app to this app with and therefore, although trying to decide between 2 and 3 stars, I put 3. Good app ig

Why hasn’t Translate 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.

Translate = ☠️☠️☠️☠️ I mean is is accurate? Most of the time NO. Whenever i put in something in Japanese it is most of the time wrong in mean do you even know the meaning people who did Japanese? I want to also point out how the microphone thing is USELESS. When i use it it never comes out the way i say it. I mean you should get rid of that option.
I also wan to say i speak Japanese so i know it this is right or wrong. When i did use this i thought “ WOW these people are really DUMB!!!!!” As for now i still do think that.
Though i may be a mere child to me kids knowing more that the people who made Translate feels like i am smarter than the people who translated Japanese to english. Sometimes me and my little brother would make fun of Translate for being terrible at it’s only job it has: translating. I am a type of person who don’t like it when people get the translation wrong as to me they might of said something that could insult me.

Must I add I hope the people who owns or programs Translate see this and hire a person who knows the language of what they want to this app this. If they did do that DO BETTER!!!! I child for goodness sake it smarter than Translate . Also Translate is like 0 is has NO PURPOSE.I hope they update this due to how unreliable Translate is.

After recent 16.4 update Translate stopped working offline. Doesn’t matter how many times you try downloading languages, deleting App ENTIRELY and reloading, or whatever else you can come up with. You get “Translation is unavailable at the moment. Try again at a later time.” Disappointing that Apple can’t even get their own App to work on their own iOS operating system. Especially something as simple as a translator which is nothing more than a few relational databases (call them dictionaries if you want) interacting.

UPDATE: Few Days after iOS upgrade the downloaded offline languages are working again. Very glad to see and have changed the 1 star to 3 and crossing fingers going forward.

now i have tried almost every translation app out there and after a long search I finally found it an app that’s true to its words and works in any language for any conversation from a single question to a run on sentence Translate is for it and works flawlessly and I recommend that you atleast try it because ya don’t loose anything for just trying out Translate worse case scenario you don’t like it ( which is highly unlikely) so then what? You just delete it, the world won’t end if it’s not for you, just try it out, it’s the best,

Thanks for reading I appreciate you taking the time to read all of that lol have a nice day and I hope this helped😊 and remember Jesus loves and died for you and is coming back soon, are you ready?

Happy travels! 💜🫶💜

I really can’t emphasize how poor quality Translate is. It is honestly the worse app on my phone. Not only is it not user friendly it also fails to this app certain words correctly when it’s not frozen. Examples of Translate ’s poor performance are as follows: can’t easily edit a mistake in the words needed translated without erasing the entire message, app will sometimes only this app part of the message (I.e., 4 words out of 20), it does not detect languages, only a handful of language are available to be translated.

Literally any other translation app is better. Don’t know why I keep bothering to use Translate. You’ve let me down too many times, Apple. You can spend millions on advertising the iPhone but can’t spend a few hundred dollars paying an intern to design a better app. Shame on you.

When Translate works, it is actually pretty good. The integration with iOS is nice, and the quality of translations, even offline ones, is pretty good.

But, the offline (on-device) mode has some serious problems. It used to work most of the time, but there has always been a problem where it insists on re-downloading the dictionaries. Now, it has recently decided that it can only download one dictionary. Attempting to download a second results in the first being deleted, and there’s never a point where it actually functions correctly.

Even when it used to function, it would demand downloading a new copy of the dictionary at inconvenient times. Do you want to right click on some text for a web page or in an email and this app it? Great. One time. The second time, it demands downloading the dictionaries again. And it does this over and over so that Translate is essentially unusable offline (which is where I value it the most).

Finally, the support link on the store page is a joke. It just takes you to Apple’s generic support page for its devices. Nothing about the this app app at all. No place to file a bug report. No place to seek assistance for it.

Translate should be great. When it works, it is great, but it’s completely dropped the ball on the little things which are so vital to making it work consistently and, therefore, usefully. I guess it’s back to Google this app until they fix this.

Translate has been helping me speak Italian while I use Duolingo to learn it. If I want to say something but haven’t learned one of the words yet I will put in the English and then see the translation, but if something seems contrary to what I’ve learned in Duolingo or have questions I will confer with my Italian friend. Not once has she told me the translation was wrong. In fact she explains why it’s correct even if it doesn’t make sense to me.

I’m surprised by all the low star reviews here. Especially the one that complained that his translation of tofu in Korean came back as bean curd… ya know, considering tofu is… bean curd. 🙄

Maybe we shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds us, it’s not even a paid app. And as far as languages go, when I wanted to learn Arabic Duolingo didn’t offer it, but I didn’t write them a bad review, I submitted a request for it. About a year later they had it available and I was thrilled. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want, rather than complain about it.
