"Ping-pong communication with Google Translate": When two people want to communicate but don't speak a common language, apps can take over the translation. This works surprisingly well these days if you know how it works and follow a few tips. We'll demonstrate the process using Google Translate (also known as Google Translate).
Various tools exist for automatic translation. Currently, the most comprehensive and relatively simple tool is Google Translate, also with regard to the Ukrainian language. This automatic translation tool can be used as an app on smartphones and tablets (iOS/Android). An internet connection is required, at least to start it up. Dictionaries for the desired languages can then be downloaded into the app, so that the app can subsequently be used even without an internet connection.
How the translation works
The basic principle is simple: Users enter a text in one language, and the app translates into the target language. The source and target languages can be selected from a corresponding list, which also includes Ukrainian. Input and output are in written form by default. Documents or photos can also be translated – but this section focuses on spoken language. To do this, users must grant the app access to the device's microphone so that they can speak directly into the device. The app then performs several steps in direct succession:
The spoken text is converted into written form.
The written text is displayed in translated form, also in written form. The translated text is output as spoken language. This may sound complicated in theory, but in practice it is intuitive.
