The translations are very similar to Google Translate. Some minor AI foibles, but insufficient to alter my overall opinion. ### 3/5 — The transliteration needs some work *2026-06-20, version 50.0.0* I like the fact that for languages such as Hebrew, which are written in another alphabet, that they also give a transliteration of the Hebrew word. This helps in pronunciation, as Hebrew is a written language that doesn’t use vowels, when written, except when teaching new speakers. However, I’ve noticed a lot of errors in it, even with my rudimentary knowledge of the language. For instance, the Hebrew word Hah-im was written as Ham and when I asked a question like Do you like it, madam, it conjugated the male form, even though I was asking a woman. “ham ata(ottah) ohev et ze gvarti?” It should be Hah-im at(ot) ohevet et ze gvarti? האם אתה אוהב את זה, גברתי? I’m not sure if it should be gveret, as would normally be the word for madam, or miss. So, it does need some work. In the Hebrew alphabet, it appears to be correct. After rereading the Hebrew, it appears that they also used the wrong gender to conjugate the sentence. משמעוּת (mishmah-oot) which means “meaning” you translated as mishmawta. When I didn’t use the dot next to the letter vav, you translated it as mishmash-ot, but it isn’t. ### 3/5 — There's one feature i'd want. *2026-05-07, version 50.0.0* The app is great with translations and the other features like image are great too! But could you add offline capabilities to some of the languages, it would help a lot when the internet signal is low! Thanks! ### 4/5 — Efficient *2026-04-03, version 50.0.0* I’ve generally found Translatium to be an efficient application to correct my poor Mandarin. There are some hang-up’s but insufficient to alter my opinion. ### 4/5 — Seems pretty good *2026-03-19, version 50.0.0* Early days using Translatium, but generally it works well and I’m avoiding Google and Microsoft products while using it. It’s more limited than the Big Tech alternatives but a penalty I can live with that to avoid being ’the product’ sold to advertisers. ### 4/5 — behoorlijk goed *2026-03-06, version 50.0.0* de vertaler ondersteunt vele talen en is zeer efficiënt, maar de fotovertaler is niet goed ### 5/5 — THUMSUP *2026-02-15, version 50.0.0* THIS APP JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER! I ENJOY GOING FROM ENGLISH TO SEVERAL OTHER LANGUAGES AND TESTING MY PRONUNCIATION AGAINST THE BUILT-IN VOICE. ### 5/5 — Best Translator App *2026-02-14, version 50.0.0* Simple, easy to use, and includes alternative definitions and synonyms of certain words. ### 5/5 — Translatium--I’ve been waiting a long time for this! *2026-02-13, version 50.0.0* This is a godsend. Thank you. Amazingly large amounts can be done in seconds! ### 5/5 — The best *2026-02-02, version 50.0.0* I have used Translation for several years now. It has greatly helped me in my studies of a language that is not “mainstream” (Hebrew) and usually has very poor, if any representation in any multi-lingual apps. ### 5/5 — convenient *2026-01-24, version 50.0.0* super convenient in the middle of language classes. you don't have to click away to look something up and it keeps a history of what you looked up that you can referance back to later. ### 5/5 — Kool *2026-01-14, version 50.0.0* Works fine ### 5/5 — excellent for Spanish *2025-12-11, version 50.0.0* I use Translatium daily for translations of articles and email etc - 90% Spanish with 10% languages from around the world. The accuracy is excellent - especially if you translate the entire article/letter/whatever - rather than translating single words or phrases. This app leaves the other free translation apps in the shade. ### 5/5 — Translatium - Translator *2025-12-05, version 50.0.0* Excellent results that are spot-on! ### 5/5 — 5 star app *2025-12-01, version 50.0.0* Works very well, as far as I can tell. ### 5/5 — Perfect - Mükemmel *2025-11-30, version 50.0.0* Macbook için bu zamana kadar yapılmış en harika çeviri uygulaması - The Best translation application ever made for Macbook. ### 5/5 — Bravo *2025-11-20, version 50.0.0* ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointment *2026-03-20, version 50.0.0* Why no option to draw a hànzì (汉字) chinese character and come up with the correct printed chinese equivalent, the pinying and the translation? Unless they fix that I can’t recommend it and I’m out of here and so should anyone who read this!! ### 1/5 — Very poor translator for certain languages *2025-12-13, version 50.0.0* If you select Urdu, the character translation appears in the Urdu language, if you select Gujrati the characters appear in the English alphabet, totally rubbish app, no wonder its free. ### 1/5 — Fraco... *2025-11-19, version 50.0.0* o App escuta BEM ERRADO... está anos luz ATRAS do que veio Padrão no iPad ... rs... ### 1/5 — Poor translation in Vietnamese *2025-09-10, version 50.0.0* The app just translates word by word not considers the whole context in almost using cases, even poorly providing for the precise meaning for a word look-up ### 1/5 — Inkorrekte Übersetzungen *2025-07-09, version 50.0.0* Die App übersetzt falsch bzw. unvollständig und verfälscht damit die Sinn/Inhalt. (Deutsch/Englisch) ### 1/5 — Says no connection *2025-07-08, version 50.0.0* I have Internet I guess this no longer works ### 1/5 — Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall *2025-06-14, version 50.0.0* Absolutely pathetic translation of an old wisdom. "Arrival comes before the case". So much for "Artificial Unintelligence". ### 1/5 — horrible app *2025-06-10, version 50.0.0* It cerated it's own english, nothing makes sense and it doesn't stick to the original. Would give lower than a star if there was acahnce:((( ### 1/5 — Very poor translation from Italian *2025-04-08, version 49.0.0* Very poor translation from Italian ### 1/5 — De plus en plus médiocre *2025-03-24, version 49.0.0* La qualité des traductions de Translatium s'est progressicement effondrée. Les contresens sont de plus en plus nombreux et le féminin n'est pas distingué du masculin. Les adjectifs en apposition génèrent régulièrement des contresens. Quelques semaines après ce premier commentaire les performances se sont encore dégradées. Je suppose que cela annonce l'arrivée d'un application payante dont les performances se seront miraculeusement améliorées. De plus des partie entière de texte sont "sautées" dans la traduction. Evitez de perdre votre temps avec ce logiciel. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Translation *2026-06-28, version 50.0.0* Great ### 5/5 — Great translator *2026-06-14, version 50.0.0* Just wish pressing “enter” made a new line/indent ;) otherwise it’s perfect ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-06-05, version 50.0.0* This is my go to translator. Easy to use and it works fast translating texts. Liked how it also provided the audio to hear and follow along the texts being translated and the translated texts. Thanks for this excellent app. ### 5/5 — I love Translatium *2026-05-18, version 50.0.0* I’ve tried several translation apps and Translatium is by far the easiest and most comprehensive. No ads, simple to use, and it often offers multiple definitions and synonyms. It’s rare for Translatium to come up empty-handed on a word (occasionally it does for obscure or archaic words). I’ve been using it for several months now for my French classes. ### 5/5 — Translatium-Translator *2026-05-17, version 50.0.0* Very good ! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-05-10, version 50.0.0* This is what I needed! ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-04-09, version 50.0.0* Super alternative to google translate. Shame it’s coming to end of life, not convinced by the replacement app yet. ### 5/5 — Top *2026-03-15, version 50.0.0* i manage to translate goodbye from english to japanaese and its fab ### 5/5 — Ottima app *2026-03-07, version 50.0.0* Molto pratica e veloce specialmente se tenuta pronta nel menu in alto a destra. ### 5/5 — Perfect for my use *2026-02-22, version 50.0.0* So easy to use, I am using it every day --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
