[Discussion] What Translation Apps Do You Use - General Topics

I recently started dating a Chinese girl and have found that a Translation app can come in handy quite a bit. That got me thinking. What translation apps are the bros at XDA using? What would you recommend to others?
I am using S Translator on my S4 as I like how seamless I can go from Chinese to English and vice versa. I recommend people actually break this out as it does have manual text input as well as speech, as well as automatic readouts and is fairly easy to use.

Well if your current translator is working for you well I would keep using it. If you would rather try something else I would try Google translate which seems to be good.

[APP] MIUI Browser (aka Charming Browser)

The Chinese did it again! The "Charming Browser" has a MIUI-like look and feel. So...
So I translated it! cn.miren.browser-v1.1-b97-mod2.apk
And I did it again! cn.miren.browser-v1.1-b102-mod2.apk
The only Chinese left is what it grabs from an external server (such as Books and Music).
Reserved for later.
Also reserved for later.
Thank you. Been using it the last couple of days and it's great and fast. Only have two complaints:
1. the hacked flash 10.1 used to watch hulu will not work on hulu.com. the stock browser will work.
2. the startup of the browser is too slow.
Other than that, its the best browser to date.
Great, you've made a dedicated thread for the MIUI browser!
I'll be coming back when I get that annoying "an update is available" message
Using it right now and loving it.
love it. thank you for translating! this is exactly what i've been looking for.
With my short amount of use so far I love this browser. Very quick, and with exact amount and type of UI I like. All the weird links to chinese websites are kind of odd but easily ignored.
So awesome! Thanks a lot man!
How do you toggle between mobile and desktop?
Or, can you?
Why was it renamed to MIUI browser?
Maybe I mis-read but I thought this was translated. All my searches in Google are comming up in Chinese....

You didn't mis-read anything, you probably chose Baidu as the search engine didn't you? cos that's a chinese search engine hence the results would be in chinese... the search engine isn't actually built into the browser due to it being a search engine hence jpsiemer can't translate it.
Try picking Google from the dropdown menu when you want to search for something and you'll most likely get english results... due to google NOT being a chinese search engine.
And oh, in the future how about using some common sense before posting snide remarks about how you "mis-read" somebody elses hard work not being translated or at least if common sense isn't one of your strongest sides post you're question in a nice manner where people will feel like they want to help you.
EDIT: Sorry about this rant, I overeacted quite a bit... I apologise
Any one else have issues sending sms messages after installing this? I'm on evolution miui 1.29 port..

I'd be interested to know this too - can't seem to find this option on the stock browser either when using the miui rom.
Thanks.

EDIT: If this wasn't the case I'm sorry for all the comments about you're lack of common sense but still you could have rephrased your post in a nicer fashion.

Okay seriously as if I'd start a race war on XDA, we're not in the 1950's anymore... get with it.
I just got annoyed at him mocking somebody elses hard work which they'd chosen to share for free with everyone here... I doubt he or you for that matter understand how much work translating an entire application is, and he metaphorically pissed on the translators hard work by saying he "mis-read" it being translated to english probably due to the fact the he just clicked the wrong button and instead of asking if this was the case for eveyone or if anyone had a fix or anything in that manner. He decides to whip out his **** and piss on the developers hard work.
I don't care if you're white, black, yellow or ****ing green like the incredible hulk when you disrespect somebody else's hard work which they've given you for free you deserve to be the victim of a rant.
Anyone else having problems with the favorites thumbnails? I've entered 7 different pages (can't get rid of the music one for some reason) and they all show the same thumbnail. Pretty random because that thumbnail is one of those 7 pages :/

You can go into settings....advanced...and set google as your home page, but you lose the dashboard. I have not found an option to change the search engine.

[APP] iris the sister to Siri

Here's another Siri like App. Check it out, now in the Android Market
It's in the Alpha stage but can be improved with suggestions from the community.
This is not my application, here's the developer site for suggestions. I'm just putting the word out about the App http://blog.dexetra.com/iris-improved-goes-live-on-android-market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dexetra.iris
Cute. Something I can boast again!
it's very slow. Have to wait for a while to get the answer.
very slow indeed, and i noticed that it has a problem that my system language is german, it "parses" the answers in english, so it's somehow buggy cause it always searches for the "germanized" version of what i said.
it should be possible to select voice language in the program, not only through system
the name is cool though
You should add the option to update Facebook status.
You can translate in French please ?
And it's true that it is a little slow.
I can help in the translation.
cool apss
I question whether this application supports the Polish language
sorry for mistakes but here in poland not many people speak English

Google Keyboard personal dictionary

Hi Guys,
Hope you all had a great weekend. I have been using Google Keyboard extensively ever since it was launched. I am a bengali and i usually store bengali words written in English in my personal dictionary. And it used to work wonderfully. After the recent update to the keyboard (which included sync as a functionality) i have been having a lot of difficulty with my personal dictionary. Some words are recognized while others are not. For a person with >2,000 entries in personal dictionary its a nightmare. Do any of you face the same trouble? Do u know the solution? Same is happening to my wife's Galaxy S4.
Please help.
regards,
Shuvabrata
