Website Translator

I recently met a Hungarian artist, living in Germany, during Plein Air Live (PAL) 2022 (an annual international virtual artists’ workshop). We were introduced in a 7 attendees private chat room, but time ran out before we could exchange contact information. I contacted the PAL hostess and she helped us reconnect. I am American with Hungarian and German ancestry on my father’s side of the family. So, not only having an artistic connection, we have a heritage connection. I was able to see her press releases on German websites, but unable to read the text. Your translation app has enabled me to read, in English, what the German text revealed about her work. I am so delighted to have found this application because it has opened new doors and conversations I thought I could never enter. Now, not only in the German language, but the several other languages you have available on your app., I can understand what is being presented. Thank you so much, I will recommend it highly!!

I have used this to translate news articles from Spanish to English. It worked well. No automated translator is going to be perfect, so of course the translation will be a bit rough, but it’s good enough that you can understand it. Others have commented that the app only translated the top portion of the page. I did not find that to be true for me. It translated entire news articles. Open the app itself and there are some preferences. If you’re having this problem try changing some of the options there. But for me it did exactly what I wanted it to do. Translate the text of entire pages in safari with two quick taps, without having to copy and paste into another app or page.

Updated review: The developer corrected my privacy concerns by adding an auto-delete function—now the app works as it should. Quite a useful app … highly recommended! Original review: This app doubled in size after translating only four web pages—apparently it's caching data from every page that it translates. The only way that I found to remove this data was by deleting and then reinstalling the app. The developer needs to add a "clear the cache" button to the app's user interface. Until this feature is added, Website Translate for Safari poses a fairly large privacy risk.
