LanguageTranslator 1.0.0.0
Those who own a Windows Phone powered handset have at their disposal a wide variety of applications that can take care of this task for them and one of these apps is suggestively called LanguageTranslator.
Monotonous GUI with a plain layout
This app provides a clean front-end, in which all the functions and commands are one tap away. The neatly organized interface is less appealing, yet very practical, so you won't need to spend more than a few seconds to understand how to use it properly.
The complete lack of any element of graphical design that could be considered even remotely attractive is in perfect contrast with the ease of use, because LanguageTranslator offers a smooth navigation through the lists of languages, while the waiting time until the interlingual rendition is complete is also reduced.
Effortless language selection and operation
The application supports only text input, so you will not be able to use it for live conversations. The text box where you have to add the text by either pasting it from the system clipboard or by writing it on the spot seems pretty well-sized, but there is a major letdown hidden there.
More precisely, there are no line breaks when writing, so the entire string of text is set on a single line, which makes it very difficult to review it. Similarly, the output area of LanguageTranslator has the same drawback.
There are no dedicated buttons for copying the content, but this can be done in a simple manner, by tapping the text area and making a selection just like you would in a document or in any other field and then pressing the "copy" button that appears when a text selection is made.
Insofar as the language variety is concerned, this utility comes with around 50 items you can opt for and you will find inside the lists some original entries like "Klingon", which will surely appeal to Star Trek fans.
The engine used by LanguageTranslator is that of Bing Translate, so the accuracy of the text renderings is within the bounds of this online service. Also, you should note that you will not be able to use the application without an active Internet connection.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
The totally unappealing GUI, with a very dull appearance makes this app lose a lot from the visual point of view. |
Function4
The feature set is very limited and users can only pick two languages and get a translation, without any other extra options. |
Security10
The utility treats with discretion the sensitive information stored inside the system, as it doesn't need to look inside any system area. |
Battery5
While LanguageTranslator is running the power consumption is quite noticeable, so the battery usage records very high values. |
Price10
All the features are offered free of costs and also of annoyance, so the utility has a very good value overall. |
Compatibility10
A suitable utility for all phones that are powered by Windows Phone 7 and higher, this tool works only if an Internet connection is available. |
