-GF Offline Translator: -text and speech translation for 16 languages with -quality control. Version 19 April 2017 (beta). -

-Speech input: Tap microphone icon and talk while it is red. -
-Text input: Select "keyboard" from menu, tap keyboard icon. -
-Correction: Tap input text and edit. -
-Alternatives: Tap output text. -
-Grammar info: Tap any of the alternatives. -
-Confidence: colour of output text -

Green: semantic, probably correct (but has alternatives)
Yellow: syntactic, often incorrect (has alternatives)
Light red: chunk-based, probably incorrect (has alternatives)
Dark red: word-based, often very bad

-
-Topics (new, select from menu): Words grouped by semantic categories, with WordNet glosses. -
-Phrasebook (new, select from menu): Conceptual authoring with the green translations. -

More details

-GF Offline Translator is based on grammar and semantics. 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. -

-The app indicates translation confidence with colours: -

Green: - semantic translation, should be correct. - But not necessarily the only correct one. - You can tap the output to see alternatives. -
Yellow: - syntactic translation, should be grammatically correct. - But can be very strange in its interpretation and choice of words. -
Light red: - chunk translation, probably incorrect. - Builds the translation from small pieces. -
Dark red: - word-by-word translation, almost certainly incorrect. - Builds the translation word by word. -

-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". -

- -

-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 speech recognition errors. Changing words -from upper to lower case may also be needed. -At the moment, Japanese and Thai input must be separated -to words, whereas Chinese works without spaces. -

-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: -

- -* For translation from Japanese and Thai you need to separate each word with a space -

-The speech input and output use Google's voice services. Their status -can hence change without notice. You can make it more stable by -installing third-party speech tools, such as SVOX, which provides -output for most of the listed languages. -

- -

-When you tap on a translation you get a screen with alternative translations. -Tapping on each of the alternatives -gives you grammatical information: -an inflection table, if it is a single word, -and a syntax tree otherwise. -

- -

-The app also provides an input method which you can use as -an alternative keyboard which allows you to do translation from -other applications, for instance while you are entering SMS or e-mail. -To activate it go to Settings > Language & input. -

- -

-The translation works completely off-line, without -internet connection, when doing text-based translation. -Even speech works off-line in some languages, -but being on-line may give you better -speech input and output and more languages. -

-You can also install third-party off-line speech engines, such as -SVOX. -Consult the voice/language settings on your phone to find the optimal -speech engines, and restart the app after changing the settings. -

- -

-The GF Offline Translator is powered by -GF, Grammatical Framework. -It is open-source software, -built by support from the GF community and from Digital Grammars. -

- -

-Digital Grammars is a company that can tailor this app to you needs and provide good -translation for the kind of vocabulary you need. Just tell us what you want to see - in the green area! -
