mTranslator is back from the dead, and useful for translating to Indian languages

mTranslator

In one case upon a fourth dimension, I wrote most mTranslator, an interactive Windows Phone 8 app that allowed you lot to interpret English language to nine Indian languages. It was a fine idea since it wasn't just helpful for tourists and expats in India, but fifty-fifty the citizens of the country like me who often struggle with basic communication and instructions when travelling to another state or region.

The app is developed by Centre for Evolution of Advanced Calculating (C-DAC), a premier R&D system nether the Ministry of Communications & It (MCIT) of Government of India, and is based on their AnglaMT and Anuvadaksh Machine Translation System. What happened though was the app crashed for near users every bit shortly as it gained some downloads. In the end, it worked for nobody and saw bad reviews on the Store and obvious uninstalls.

After several months, information technology's back from the dead, and finally updated. It'south the lowest point update you tin take – v1.0.0.i – and at that place'southward nothing extra added, except the fix for that frequent crashing.

Similar before, the app supports English to Bengali, Hindi, Panjabi, Malayalam, Telegu, Tamil, Marathi, Oriya, and Urdu. The app works online, so you can't translate if you don't take an active data connection or are on WiFi.

The app has an easy and intuitive user interface, and also allows you to customize the font size. One time you specify the text to translate in English, you also get the transliterated output. The app also includes a sample sentence database which includes mutual chat sentences.

Information technology'due south non perfect, and there are some misses while translating (I tried English language to Hindi), only still is a very useful app. I hope the app updates continue for it to mature into a fine app for Indian languages. Requite it a whirl, and let u.s. know how you like it.
