Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Go Translate at none against Translator »'s shown. Go Translate also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Translator »'s advantage is ratings volume (8.9K vs 1.4K) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
