  2. Translate screenshots (.png files).

    Add support for screenshots on Android devices (.png image files)

    The workaround is to convert the .png file to a .jpg file and then translate it.

    What would you like to see on the Widget? Shortcut to specific language pairs and ways of entering information ?

    Thank you for your message on the Translator forum. We appreciate your feedback.

    The translation system is constantly learning, making corrections, and improving its output.
    Automatic translations use statistical machine learning to translate from one language to another, and it works best when translating full sentences. In some instances, it can create errors, especially when the phrase lacks context.
    You can learn more about how automatic translation works at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/mt.aspx

    Thanks again for your feedback to improve our translation service.

  6. Phrasebook customization

    The iOS phrasebook is easier to use because you can change part of the phrase which is convenient. The Android phrasebook is less user friendly. Please change the Android phrasebook so that it resembles the iOS one.
