Categories & Use Cases

Great translator

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I’ve always used Google Translate to inform my non-English speaking students' parents. It has helped me translate my newsletters and parent memos. I’ve also used it to communicate with parents as well as write specific notes to non-English speaking friends, parents, and educators. It is a great tool to use.

Pros

  • Translate different languages
  • Auto correct the spelling in a language
  • Suggests different ways to say certain words and phrases

Cons

  • When translating, it should automatically recognize the language and use the proper punctuation marks,
  • Recognize the different symbols used in other languages
  • Know when to interpret and spell words without autocorrect

Return on Investment

  • It had a very positive impact on translating documents.
  • I did have to use a Spanish speaking teacher reread the translation
  • It is very easy to use.
