To swap the languages, just type the word into the bottom box (to) instead of the top one (from). For English, the app doesn’t have the American flag, only the British one.
The app also has these buttons:
Star – Shows “favorites”
- history – the words I translated most recently
- unassigned – I couldn’t add anything to it, not even with the 2) button
iTranslate
Right after launch, it asks you to install two text-to-speech apps from the Market. However, I couldn’t install the first one because I don’t have an SD card, and I didn’t try the second one; the app works without them too. Like gTranslate, the app can swap the languages, or rather the word. The small drop-down for choosing the language is a bit clumsy. It translates as soon as you pick a language, and if you don’t want to translate every single word into a new language, there is a translate button.

You can translate:
- Text
- Documents
- Websites
There are these buttons:
- close – Clears all the fields and restores the default languages.
- refresh/swap – swaps both the text and the language, so it’s a rather pointless feature
- speak – When I tapped it, nothing came out of my headphones. The speaker probably didn’t make a sound either; maybe it was because I didn’t have those 2 libraries (see above)
There is one more text box, pronuncation. Unfortunately, I don’t know what it means or what it does. Maybe it’s pronunciation, but I’m not convinced. The share button lets you share via SMS, Twitter, Facebook or email. The app has no menu. For website translation, you enter the address and the language you want the page translated into. The address can be loaded from previously visited pages. When translating a document, you have to set the from and to languages and select a file on the memory card. Developed by Prolog, inc.
Google Translate
Once again there is a button for swapping the two languages. As soon as you type, a drop-down offers an option for instant translation. Each translated expression has a star that lets you add the translation to your favorites. Through the menu you can send it using the options we’re used to. Other things you can do from the menu are translate an SMS message, open the settings or go to the home screen (desktop). The app supports voice input. In the settings you can turn on the “rich dictionary” or choose whether you want suggestions from Google. The options really aren’t extensive, but they are sufficient
