Google's
Improved Word Translator
Google Translate is great for translating long texts, but it's also useful for translating words and expressions. The main difference is that words can have multiple meanings and Google Translate will usually show more than one translation.
**w it's easier to select the right translation because Google shows if they're common and groups sy**nyms. A**ther improvement is that Google displays a list of reverse translations for each candidate, so you can pick the most appropriate word. "Reverse translations can distinguish translations of different meanings and reveal subtle differences among similar words. Each translation is **w an**tated with its most frequent reverse translations,"
explains Google.
For example, the French
Word "
fort" has a lot meanings, so it's hard to pick between "
loud", "
strong", "
heavy", especially if you don't k**w English.
Google's reverse translations are helpful and it's nice to k**w that "
strong" is the most common translation.
Unfortunately, the new features are only available if you're translating from English or into English.
