The Human Language Compiler is a translator for human language based on programming language technology. Therefore it is compact in size and gives control on quality. It indicates confidence with colours:
You can translate both speech and text, as selected in the menu in the upper right corner. Translation works between any pair of the supported languages, which means 110 language pairs at the moment. But different languages are on different levels of development. The following table gives a rough idea of what to expect:
coverage | quality | speed | speech | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bulgarian | in only | |||
Chinese | diff in/out | |||
Dutch | ||||
English | ||||
Finnish | ||||
French | ||||
German | ||||
Hindi | out only | |||
Italian | ||||
Spanish | ||||
Swedish |
When you tap on a translation you get a screen with alternative translations. Tapping on each of the alternatives gives you grammatical information: an inflection table, if it is a single word, and a syntax tree otherwise.
The app also provides an input method which you can use as an alternative keyboard which allows you to do translation from other applications, for instance while you are entering SMS or e-mail. To activate it go to Settings > Language & input.
The Human Languge Compiler works completely off-line, without internet connection, although being on-line may give you better speech input and output. The app is small (around 23 MB for all languages). We do not show ads.
