You may have noticed that Google Translate has improved significantly over the past few years. This is because in 2016, Google Translate switched to a neural machine learning premise which allows the translation service to compare entire sentences at once from a wider range of linguistic sources. This provides greater accuracy in that the full context is taken into consideration instead of sentence clauses being translated in isolation.
Accuracy is still variable though, and the app can have problems translating complex texts or cultural nuances. It also has trouble with grammar and occasionally offers unnatural or grammatically incorrect translations. Here are a few useful tricks you should know about to get the most out of this translation tool.
