Translation apps can be really useful when you’re traveling in a foreign country or trying to chat with someone who speaks another language, but some results from translation software lack nuance or just sound plain crazy in their translated form. Of course, you can't really always be sure that it's translated things perfectly, particularly when dealing with colloquialisms. That's where a newly launched app called Boomerang from DonationCoder.
Translator Boomerang is a little program that uses the Google Translation engine to translate your English text to foreign languages and then back again into English, for some amusing results. Boomerang is a new iOS app that uses Google Translate to translate phrases in 104 different languages; then translates the phrasing back into the original language for you to make sure that what you’re trying to say actually makes sense. Use it to generate Zen poetry or examine how well the translation of your text really matches with your intentions. You might be surprised to learn how your words may come across in another language.
Currently available for iOS users, the app is free to download from App Store, but it contains ads. For ad-free version, you’ll need to pay $1.99 annually. But, what has to be considered is the time it takes to translate and re-translate a phrase, to alter the phase if it throws awkward translation.
Boomerang is now available on the App Store. Check it out Here.
