Modern Translate 2015.418.22.4965

Enjoy a comprehensive translation solution that covers a lot of languages and input methods
Finding some common language with people in a foreign country so you can communicate and understand each other can be sometimes difficult.

For this reason, numerous travelers and not only them resort to specialized apps that can facilitate the communication with people who speak a different language.

Modern Translate offers Windows Phone users a complete set of tools for carrying out a wide variety of translations, thanks to its extensive support for over 90 languages.

Clean GUI with a smooth feel to it

This app provides a smart and intuitive layout, in which all the functions and commands are one tap away. The neatly organized front-end is nice to look at and very practical in the same time, so you will need only a couple of minutes to fully understand how to use it properly.

There is a generous live view area at your disposal that can help you obtain immediate results for the camera-aided translation module. Also, the handwriting recognition module comes with a well-sized canvas for you to write on.

There are several interface customization possibilities you can put to good use from the "Settings" area, but they will become available only after you purchase the full version of Modern Translate.

Pick the languages and the input method

The application allows you to quickly select the two languages you want to use for the translation job and there is even a button in the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen that allows you to pin to the Start screen any pair of languages.

Modern Translate supports not only the classical virtual keyboard input method, but it is also able to turn your speech into text and have it ready for the interlingual rendition.

Also, using the phone camera you can take a snapshot and have the content translated or you can simply choose any image stored inside your photo albums. This method is probably the least accurate as the text have to be very clear and perfectly aligned for a flawless translation

A neat feature of this utility is the ability to support handwriting so, when in the special "Write" mode, you can use the app as a classical pen and paper means of writing down words and phrases you want to add to the translation queue. The suggestions it offers are most useful in making the correct selection.

Save favorite translations and share texts on the go

With this utility you can review the history of completed translations right from the main screen and by swiping to the left or to the right switch to the favorites section where you will have all the translations you marked as such.

In case you want to send out the original and translated text or only one of these, the app supports several sharing methods, so you can have the content included in an email or SMS message and even shared via social networks you subscribed to.
