The translator, as well as the maps, is one of the most revolutionary and useful services that Google provides to the world, capable of instantly translating more than 100 languages. Google Translate translations are used every day by millions of people, both on PC and mobile phone, for various purposes and not only to see what a certain word means or how a particular phrase is translated, but to do much more.
In this article we are going to discover the most useful and best features of the Google translator, those that can help in work and study and also when traveling, so as not to be in difficulty with foreign languages.
1) Translate websites for a different language
Google Translate can analyze single words and phrases, therefore it makes it easy to translate entire websites into a chosen language or from any language, in Italian.
Although the translation may not be perfect, it gives a good idea of what is written on that site and allows you to use the menus as if it were an Italian site.
To translate a web page there are at least two ways with Google Translate:
- From Chrome, just press the right button on the page of the open site and choose the Translate option.
- From the Google translator site, putting the link of the page to be translated.
In addition, Google also provides an extension for Chrome to translate words on websites, without having to translate the whole page.
2) Translating documents
From the main Google Translate page, you can also click the option, under the text box on the left, to translate Word or PDF documents into Italian or other languages by uploading the files and selecting the language.
3) Create a phrase book to keep
If you use Translate to translate complex sentences, you should save them in order to find them as you did at school.
Google Translate allows you to save any translation in your personal phrasebook, if you are logged in to your Google account
To save translations, just press the star button below the translated text box.
To review the saved translations, you must press, always on the Google Translate site, the button in the top right in the shape of stars of your favorite phrases .
4) Improve English
With Google translator you can listen to the translations of each word by voice, read definitions, word classes (name, verb, etc.), synonyms and examples of use of the word in a sentence.
5) Email translations
Google Translate is integrated in Gmail so, every time you receive an email with a foreign language text, you can translate it into Italian by pressing the button that appears as an option in the message.
6) Translate chat, Whatsapp and every email from mobile .
Google Translate allows, as noted some time ago, to obtain immediate translations on Android from any app.
This means that if, for example, we are chatting on Whatsapp or Facebook with a foreign person who writes in another language, it is possible to immediately see translated every sentence we receive.
7) The Google Translate application can be used as a voice interpreter and instant translator of Google Translate texts .
Vocal interpreter means being able to speak with a foreigner, speaking our language on the phone and then letting him listen to the translation spoken by the app, as if we had an interpreter near us.
The written translator, on the other hand, serves to translate written with the camera in real time which can be very useful when traveling, to see translations of folders, writings, guides or restaurant menus.
