Google Translate Customer Insights

1. When using it for a foreign language video with no subtitles, it works about as well as a damp match in a wet cave.When watching foreign videos on my phone and running Translate at the same time the mic only runs for a few seconds then cuts out.

2. Much of the time it will skip entire portions of text and only translate a few words when there's obviously more text.

3. Most important, when I paste text into the translator and it is set to auto detect, have the output translation automatically change to the other language and not the same as detected.Have used for so many years.

4. Now most of the time when trying to translate Japanese or other Asian languages it works poorly.

5. But my problem is that once I paste a link to be translated and it's done, the "paste" icon is stuck there and I have no clue on how to delete it! This problem has been reported several times to you guys by a lot of users but you still haven't added the delete option for the pesky paste icon.

6. Overall a huge downgrade and not worth using anymore.This app is usually really good, but all of a sudden, whenever I try to translate an image, it does nothing because the image is blurry.

7. I've forcestopped it twice, deleted it, and reinstalled it, but nothing seems to work.The text, the camera, the conversation translations work fine for me.

8. Why must I hide the keyboard to reverse translate or to copy the text.

9. After the most recent update, it auto-translates an entire photo and you cannot select individual text.

10. Other than that works great and translations, according to some of my Hispanic employees are about 90% accurate or better.This app used to work great.

11. The camera portion was great, as it had a highlight function and would let you pick out individual words (like an OCR).
