We are still talking about Google, we are still talking about translations this time indicating a program to be installed on the computer that allows you to use Google Translate, without opening Chrome or other browsers. Google Translate is the main online service for immediate translations from one language to another, it is used on the internet, quickly accessible by clicking the button at the top right of the Google home page or by searching on Google with this example formula: " dog in english " There are, as we have seen in the past, other online services to translate words and entire sentences or documents into Italian or any other language.
However, it is important to report an excellent and effective program that allows you to use the Google Translate online service from your desktop, without therefore using a browser and so as to integrate with Windows and all the programs used.
1) DeepL is the best PC translator program. DeepL is not based on Google Translate, but it is an exceptional service that uses more human and smarter translation thanks to exclusive technology. The PC program is integrated into the system and can be used to translate text from any application used.
2) QTranslate is a small, free and up-to-date portable PC program that is used to instantly translate text into different languages .
As an additional option it is possible to obtain different translations by choosing a different online service in addition to Google Translate . In particular, you can choose to see how a text is translated with Microsoft Translator or DeepL, a service that makes a translation of texts more natural and better than that of Google.
The most interesting peculiarity of QTranslate is the listening of the translated text and also, if you want, of the one to be translated.
Audio listening can be obtained with Google Translate and also with the Microsoft translator whose voice is a bit more robotic but has an adequate pronunciation also in Italian. To hear the text read by voice, just press the headphones button.
QTranslate also has a spelling check of the written text so as to ensure that a correct translation (However, the limitations of simultaneous translators remain). When writing a foreign language text it is not necessary to specify which is this language because there is an automatic detection. Pressing the keyboard key opens a virtual keyboard of different languages including Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Hebrew, Indian and others (see also article on how to write letters and symbols of foreign languages).
QTranslate, if you keep it open in the background, integrates into other word processors and browsers to surf the web .
In any written text, just select it with the mouse and then press the CTRL-Q combination of keys to view the translation in a pop-up and, if you want, listen to it verbally. The program options are available in the menu that appears by pressing the icon next to the clock where you can also select the automatic start of the program with Windows and the turning on of the computer.
3) Client for Google Translate and uses the Google Translate service.
This translation software works to translate text into almost every application that is launched on Windows. The installation is easy and trivial, there is only to remove a checkbox relating to the change of homepage on the browser used to browse the web. Some settings must be configured after installation, especially the language because the text must be translated automatically.
The software is configured to automatically detect the language of what is written in a window and which the user wants to translate. The text can be selected with the mouse and a small G icon will appear next to it. If the icon or button is pressed, the area automatically extends and the translation is displayed without weighing down the view and the computer.
Numerous controls are displayed below the translated text including the ability to copy words and phrases to the Windows clipboard or to manually select languages for translation, which is useful if the translation service detected the wrong language. The same Google client can be used in other applications and windows of other open programs but it must be told. For example, if Outlook or Word or Powerpoint is open with English text, right-click on the orange G at the bottom right near the clock and press on "Enable". From then on it is possible to translate the selected text directly from the program, without opening anything else. The simplest use is then to open it (always right click on the G and then Open) and write the words to be translated on the fly. By default it is installed with the "boot with Windows" option so that it starts by itself when you turn on the computer; this can clearly be disabled.
The Google Translate client is a software program for the Windows 10 and Windows 7 operating system.
For website translation, you can use Chrome with the Google Translate extension, directly and very effectively.
