The word "Danish" is incorrectly translated into "English"
The language name for Danish (Dansk) is not recognized as a language-name, and gets translated as well.
If you replace "Dansk" with "Tysk" (German), the translator does not make this issue.The following sentence, translated from Danish to English, defeats the meaning of the original message leading to a misinterpretation of the described problem - which is bad.
"Sprogcommunity tror et tekstområde i Edge er US-EN, selv om teksten, der vises, er på sproget Dansk"
Turns into the following:
Language Community believes a text area in Edge is US-EN, although the text that appears is in the language English (Not…

Issue in Croatian phrasebook
Languages are not capitalised in Croatian, so "I don't speak Croatian." should be translated as "Ne govorim hrvatski.", not "Ne govorim Hrvatski.", and "I speak English." should be translated as "Govorim engleski.", not "Govorim Engleski."

Issue in French phrasebook
Languages are not capitalised in French, so "I don't speak French." should be translated as "Je ne parle pas français.", not "Je ne parle pas Français.", and "I speak English." should be translated as "Je parle anglais.", not "Je parle Anglais."
This issue also exists in the Croatian phrasebook, so you might want to check other languages for it as well.5 votes -

Fix application language, or add option to choose it
OS language pack: Polish. Translator interface is in English, which is fine.
Then I add German keyboard as I need to enter German text from time to time.
With German keyboard added, Translator interface is in German, which is unwelcomed outcome.
Either let user choose language, or stop setting app language basing on secondary/tertiary keyboard setup.1 vote -

一个极其荒谬的翻译
A neocortex party ensued. Neocortexes—fine—neocortices shared everything with each other—stories from their past, funny jokes they had thought of, opinions they had formed, plans for the future

Some language packs won't download on a particular computer
On my computer, I am able to download the Chinese language packs, but when I try to do it on my friend's computer, they won't download. I can download the Vietnamese language pack on his, but neither of the Chinese language packs will download. I'm not sure why one downloads but others don't.

Correct translation errors
Installed latest version of Translator for Windows 10. Norwegian -> English "Unable to translate" error message when trying to translate lots of words; other words is translated wrong: Norwegian word for "vise" is translated to "clock". lots of other words also translate wrong. Only words that is equal or almost equal in Norwegian and English is translated correct.
Synonyms get only one of the possible translation (has been a problem for a long time). This is giving strange results when a whole sentence is typed.5 votes -
Text to speech should have a reading speed adjustment
Just did some English<-->French testing. The French text-to-speech was stilted/choppy and the speed made it very difficult to follow. There should be a speaking speed adjustment right on the main window so the user can easily select a comfortable speed using the current translation as a sample over and over.

Translations must be made to fit the live tile in the start menu
It's very frustrating when you can't read the full translation of the live tile. This is especially an issue with the Medium size, because making the tile larger results in another word of the day! And there's no way to see the words of the day in the app itself or something either...
For example, I have English -> Romanian on a live tile of Medium size. The word of the day is "record store", but I can't fully see the translation in Romanian, only "magazin de di". And when I type "record store" in the app, I get "magazin…

good apps
the word of the day it's really nice, but when they translet the sentence from English to Arabic is wrong eg. do you have a Wi Fi in Arabic is written in هل يوجد اتصال Wi Fi, it should be written like that هل يوجد اتصال لاسلكي

Falta a pronúncia no idioma de origem, não apenas no idioma traduzido
Tão importante quanto a tradução, é ouvir a pronúncia da palavra, frase ou texto que se está traduzindo no idioma de origem e não consegui localizar essa função no app.

How can I force Microsoft Translator to work offline?
Locking down Translator in firewall rules doesn't work. Just produces an error. Physically disabling the internet port then allows it to run offline. I just want the tool to run offline, while allowing other tools to work online with out having to visualize it.

Phrasebook
There should be a way of alerting the developers that a translation is incorrect. Especially within the phrasebook! That incorrect sentences exist there is a big problem.
For example in the German phrasebook, in the "shopping" section the translation for "Is it free?" should be "Ist das kostenlos?" but instead is "Ist hier frei?", which means "Is here available?" as though asking if a seat is taken.
6 votesThanks for your feedback on the Microsoft Translator forum.
Your feedback has two issues. Firstly, the language mistake that you noticed. We will fix this shortly and thank you for pointing this out to us.
Secondly the desire to be able to send in translation errors. For now, this forum is the way to send translation errors to the Translator Team.
Sincerely,
Gwenda
