The network has served us on many occasions as our means of translation when we received an email in another language or when we wanted information from a website that was not written in our mother tongue. Well, now we have it even easier thanks to programs that will allow us to translate texts that we do not understand and all from our computer.
All these programs can be of great help for students or simply users who need to know what a phrase they have found on a certain website means. They can even be used to communicate with another person via email, to give you an example, translating the messages that you send us and then answering us using these applications.
Advantages of translators
These types of programs have many advantages, but perhaps one of the most outstanding is that they are not dedicated to a single language, but we can take advantage of the multitude of possibilities that they offer us to understand any type of text, wherever it comes from.
Thanks to these applications, we will also have the opportunity, on many occasions, to translate not only handwritten text , but also files that we can attach or that are in the cloud, and we may even have the opportunity to export the results if necessary.
We also find that in the vast majority of cases we can use them both colloquially and at a more professional and formal level , since all this can be chosen in the options of many of these software.

Now we are going to see some of the ones that we liked the most so that you can take advantage of them and thus ensure that our translations are perfect and that they help us to communicate with other people who do not speak the same language.
Babylon
It is one of the best known programs for the number of years it has been on the market. It is a dictionary / translator with 77 different languages that allows us to translate complete web pages or in parts, texts that we indicate and it can even translate certain types of documents. It is fully up to date, as it receives updates , both operational and language, every so often. If we talk about its handling we will realize that the years have turned into experience, since its use is quite easy, intuitive and with a system that does not need any adaptation, since everything is at hand.

Ginger
This time we are facing a program that allows us to translate any type of text that we write to 40 different languages . It can be very useful if we have an online conversation with someone, since it takes up little on the screen and we only have to play with the copy and paste. The interface helps a lot in this whole process, since it is very simple and light and it does not involve any kind of effort to place the different texts to see them translated. In addition, the handling of the different options is done very quickly and we can, for example, change from one language to another very quickly.

DeepL Translator
This is a translator with the most serious interface of all that we have seen so far, but that does not mean that it is complicated, but that its design is quite sober . When it comes to working we will not have the slightest problem, since we are facing a program that is understood very well the first time and that does not have the slightest difficulty of use.
In terms of translation, it is where it shines the most, since it is one of the most precise and concise translators that there are currently, since its way of translating is not based on dictionaries or structural rules, but rather serves as advanced neural networks to be able to translate as naturally as possible. In addition, each time we send it to translate, it learns more about the type of text and adapts to what we are asking for.

OmegaT
In this case we are dealing with a translator that can be integrated with other programs, admitting plain texts or directly translating application files such as OpenOffice. It is a tool aimed at professional translators , being able to work with up to 30 different file formats such as Word, Excel or HTML. As it is a software intended for professionals, translations are like those of other programs, since it assumes that we already know the language and that is why it can be complicated for someone who does not know the language to which they want to translate. It is a powerful alternative, but knowing that it is not for all types of users.
