Google's "Tap to Translate" vs real "Tap to Translate"

[Tuan Le Anh]

Hi all.
Google just introduced new "Tap to Translate" feature of Google Translate.

However, I don't think this is most convenient way to get text translated. Too many taps are required and you can't translate text from third-party apps that don't allow native text selection.

We've created an app that adds real "Tap to Translate" feature to Google Translate. This app is not translator itself, but it provides much more convenient way to pass text to Google Translate.

You can see below video to see difference between original Google Translate's "Tap to Translate" feature vs Google Translate's "Tap to Translate" feature provide with our app.

Full description of our Tap to Translate app is listed below.

Introduction

Google Translate is one of the greatest apps on Android.
By adding in-app translation ability it becomes even much better!

However, Google Translate can't translate text in third-party apps that don't support native Android text selection method (long click and highlight).

So, we've created Tap to Translate!

Tap to Translate allows you to select and translate any text on screen by most comfortable way: just tap to translate!

Tap to Translate brings Google Translate to new level of convenience!
