It is compact in size -and gives control on quality. Its technology is inspired by compilers, which are -programs that translate computer languages. -Most other translators for human language are based on -statistics and have less control of quality and are much bigger, so that -they require either an internet connection or a huge storage on your phone. -</p> -The app indicates translation confidence with colours: -<ul> - <li><b>Green</b>: - semantic translation, should be correct. - But not necessarily the only correct one. - You can tap the output to see alternatives. - </li> - <li><b>Yellow</b>: - syntactic translation, should be grammatically correct. - But can be very strange in its interpretation and choice of words. - </li> - <li><b>Light red</b>: - chunk translation, probably incorrect. - Builds the translation from small pieces. - </li> - <li><b>Dark red</b>: - word-by-word translation, almost certainly incorrect. - Builds the translation word by word. - </li> -</ul> -The green translations come from a tourist phrasebook, which allows -you to translate things like "hello" and "how far is the airport from -the hotel". -</p> - -<p> -You can translate both speech and text, as selected in the menu in the -upper right corner. Both kinds of input can be edited with the -keyboard by first tapping at the input field. This is often needed -because of <b>speech recognition errors</b>. Changing words -from <b>upper to lower case</b> may also be needed. -At the moment, <b>Japanese</b> and <b>Thai</b> input must be separated -to words, whereas Chinese works without spaces. -</p> -<p> -Translation works between any of the 16 supported languages, which means 240 -language pairs in the current version. But different languages are on different levels of development. -The following table gives a rough idea of what to expect: -</p> - -<p> -<center> -<table rules=all border=yes> -<tr> <th></th> <th>coverage</th> <th>quality</th> <th>speed</th> <th>speech</th> </tr> -<tr> <th>Bulgarian</th> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td><td bgcolor=palegreen></td> <td bgcolor=yellow>in only</td></tr> -<tr> <th>Catalan</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td></tr> -<tr> <th>Chinese</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> </tr> -<tr> <th>Dutch</th> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td> </tr> -<tr> <th>English</th> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td> </tr> -<tr> <th>Estonian</th> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=red></td></tr> -<tr> <th>Finnish</th> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td></tr> -<tr> <th>French</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td></tr> -<tr> <th>German</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td></tr> -<tr> <th>Hindi</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=red></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> </tr> -<tr> <th>Italian</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=pink></td><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td></tr> -<tr> <th>Japanese*</th><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=pink></td><td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td></tr> -<tr> <th>Russian</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=red></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> </tr> -<tr> <th>Spanish</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td><td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td></tr> -<tr> <th>Swedish</th> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td> <td bgcolor=yellow></td></tr> -<tr> <th>Thai*</th> <td bgcolor=pink></td> <td bgcolor=pink></td><td bgcolor=yellow></td> <td bgcolor=palegreen></td></tr> -</table> -</center> -* For translation from Japanese and Thai you need to separate each word with a space -</p> -<p> -The speech input and output use Google's voice services.
