What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

It helps me a lot when I need the most out of it. I used it when drafting an email and non-call conversations with my seniors. I am a networking person, I like to network with plenty of people on LinkedIn and in real life, it helps me in LinkedIn connection requests and pitching entrepreneurs/professionals. I am a frequent and daily user, It does my work with so much precision. When it comes to travel, it is so useful in communicating with the locals and learning their culture. Easy to integrate into my app and website. Easy to implement without training. It also supports customers when it comes to satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Although it is a very useful technology and helps throughout the work, it lags when it comes to the local dialects and slang. That is the main reason why I prefer an AI chatbot over this. It sometimes shows no or the same response when we ask it to translate to a particular language. It hangs irritatingly and we need to cut the whole sentence and start from the beginning. Also, I do not like the interface, it is too subtle and does not look appropriate to my eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Translation API solving and how is that benefiting you?

It benefits me when I need to integrate raw data into my website for insights. Helps in rectification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

For me particularly for languages like English and Hindi, it provides quick and precise translations. It is frequently used by the chatbot we use and it is very easy to implement. Its simple integration makes it simple to use with computer languages we use in our services. The API works well in real-time applications like chatbots and multilingual websites. I really like its scalability when needed. I did not use its customer support as there is plenty of support in the online community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Translations for some languages not always be accurate and high usage result in increase in cost. It is a great option for companies and developers in need of an translation solution in spite of the disadvantages of a pricy solution and less accuracy for some languages.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

I find the cost of the Google Cloud Translation API a bit steep, especially for heavy users, as the pay-as-you-go pricing can add up quickly. Also, translation accuracy isn’t always perfect for less common languages or specialized fields, sometimes needing extra human editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Google Cloud Translation API breaks language barriers with 100+ languages, handles highvolume translations fast, ensures accurate and natural results, offers customization for specific needs, and integrates easily with apps.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Translation API?

It just works. Seriously, for basic translation needs, it’s reliable and fast. The fact that it supports so many languages out of the box saves us time.no need to hack together custom solutions for rare dialects. The pricing is clear (pay-as-you-go) and scales well for big projects. Integration with other Google Cloud services is smooth, and the documentation is decent. I also like the glossary feature; it helps keep brand-specific terms consistent across translations. For quick tasks, like translating user comments or product descriptions, it’s a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Translation API?

Good for everyday use, but don’t expect magic. You’ll still need human eyes for critical stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Translation API solving and how is that benefiting you?

It lets our apps talk to people in their own language, so we can connect with users worldwide without needing a ton of translators. We use it to auto-translate stuff users post, emails, and even buttons/menus in the app. This saves us time and money, especially when we have to handle lots of languages at the same time. Plus, we don’t have to waste months building our own system from scratch. It makes adding new languages way easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
