Mate: Universal Tab Translator for Pc

Downloaded this a few days ago & decided to bite the price bullet, even though there is at least one other decent translation app for Mac out there that costs significantly less. What sold me on this one is the interdevice (Mac OS & iOS) sync capability and that there are things I like about the display options. For example, when I add a word to translate, the translation includes a list of related words indicating overlapping meanings. So I learn that rather than use “pedir” for “ask”, I might want to use “invitar”. The other app does this, too, but not as concisely and immediately visible, i.e., you have to scroll down the page. But there is one significant (for me) feature that as far as I can tell this app lacks. That feature is that there is no way to unmoor the popup window from the Mac menu bar and move it around the desktop. So I can’t move that window around when it covers a part of the screen with information I am working with. This is a problem, for example, in Safari when the info I want to be able to see is at the very top of the page. I can deal with this a lot of the time by repositioning Safari (but then I have to reposition it when I am through) and by moving the this app app in the menu bar, but all that that is klutzy. So if I could unpin the dropdown window & place it anywhere on the screen, where it would stay till I got rid of it, that would be great!

I have rated this app - translate speech & text five star. Currently, I am learning to type the Cyrillic alphabet from the Solo Typing Tutor Program Application. It is difficult. Russian is not my native language. “this app” has provide a means to translate, easily and quickly, the words, which are so redundant, in Solo’s exercises. Not only has this process help me to learn the details of “this app” but also the Russian language. I am not familiar with all the advantages of “this app”. I am looking forward to learn these and so will learn to write using the Cyrillic alphabet. Thank you.

Working with people around the world, though most speak English, I have various need to find just the right word. this app is ideal for this and more. I love the convenience of it at the ready, in the menu bar; the variety of languages; the improved auto-translations—ecerything is exactly what I look for in quality software. Highly recommended.

I will be honest. I have only used this app for a few days, so I cannot give a very informed review of its translation capabilties. As an app, however, it has two problems for me. 1) I cannot translate a website or tab within the browser. This would be an amazing feature. UPDATE: following the developer's feedback, I have tried using the "Translate this page" option from the contextual menu. It never works for me. Nothing happens when I clik " Translate this page", but I hope it will work soon! 2) The Safari extension constantly crashes. It is working fine and then it is gone. There is a button in my toolbar that shows the extension is enabled, and it just randomly disappears. Every time this happens I have to close all of my tabs and quit Safari to get the extension to reappear. This is obviously a bug. I hope it gets fixed soon because it is really annoying and seriously detracts from the product.
