The new update is so bad. Instead of translating the text like normal, now it will make a selection for every single word, and then you have to scroll down to show the actual translation which is now in an essay-like format that is very hard to read because its not the same format as what you translated. Also, i swear the actual translations get more incomprehensible every update

Ever heard of the saying, "If it's not broken, don't fix it"?? Every update is changing the look when you translate, which makes it harder to actually translate. Now they've changed how to select the text on an image to translate. Instead of highlighting sections of a text to translate individually so I can easily select what to translate, it groups it into one so it's so hard to select a small section to translate.

Papago is fantastic! A must-have for Asian language translation (and for some others). In my book, Google Translate used to have no challengers since it moved to the neural network. I recently found Papago, and it is neck and neck with Google Translate. Perhaps slightly worse for more technical and long-winded sentences, but perhaps slightly better for short phrases. At any rate, what shocked me...really taking me aback...was the natural AI pronunciation (not yet with all languages, but including Japanese, (Simplified) Chinese, Korean, French, and Spanish, at least). It is far better than Google Translate and often could be mistaken for an actual human speaking! If just for that, it's worth checking out. You can also speak right into the app and the voice recognition is on point. I would like to see an offline mode for travel in the future, even if the quality in that mode decreases somewhat. Also, it would be cool to click on an individual word and get its meaning. Overall, one of the best translation apps out there.
