Google Translate Free 1.0.0.0
In case there is no one you can call to your aid, there are some virtual helpers that can prove quite efficient and very useful, without asking for anything in return.
Google Translate Free is one app that fits this description and it is aimed at Windows Phone users who can carry it everywhere on their handsets.
Plain looks and simple layout
The application comes with a decent interface, that has some less polished graphics but is pretty clean, with a light color scheme and also a breeze to use, thanks to a well organized layout. All the commands are at hand, easy to access at all times.
Moving around the different sections of the utility is carried out fluently and there is a generous input box for the text to be translated, as well as an equally well-sized output field that enables you to easily read the converted content.
Choose the languages and translate texts on the go
Google Translate Free works in a very simple manner, allowing you to choose any pair of languages form the almost 70 entries that are currently included in its database.
There is a neat button for fast swapping the languages and the actual translation takes very little time to appear in the corresponding area. Having a constant Internet connection is a must, because the utility uses online resources to get the your texts translated.
In order to copy the output you will have to select it manually and tap the dedicated button that sends the respective text directly inside the system clipboard.
Voice input and text to speech features
If adding the words manually is not your thing, you can try the speech to text feature and dictate the text. Nonetheless you will have to pay attention to the pronunciation because the voice recognition engine might have a hard time getting your input correctly, especially in noisy environments.
What's more, Google Translate Free enables you to listen to the pronunciation of the original text, thanks to its built-in text to speech (TTS) feature, but note that this works well only for English, so it is still a very limited function.

There are plenty of languages inside the app's database, but some lacks and misses make it lose some points form the functional perspective. |

The considerable power consumption of Google Translate Free takes a heavy toll on the handset's battery. |
Price10
The application carries out the job it is supposed to very well and it does so without asking for anything in return, a pretty good deal by all standards. |
