Google Translate, a great tool that allows you to translate text and whole web pages, is now even better. Just last week Google announced three new features to this service.
- Translate instantly – There is now no need to press the translate button when you are translating text from one language to another. Google Translate now translates instantly as you type.
- See the phonetic spelling for not roman languages – If you would like to learn how to say sometime out loud in a language that does not use roman characters you can now click ‘Show romanization’. This means that you will be able to see both how the word is written in that language as well as how the word is spelt phonetically in English.
- Text to speech – If English is not your first language Google Translate now allows you to hear out loud how your translation into English sounds.
