Mate instead of Google Translate
I am very happy with the privacy policy of Mate, it has made me to completely forget about Google Translate plugin in Chrome, Apple native translator and Google Translate on iOS. Furthermore, I can see that my mother tongue is available in the translator and I can use it offline. I’m in my first days of trial, and I will join for a yearly subscription.

Mate: very practical. Well designed.
One of the best translation apps encountered to date. Easy to use, versatile and precise. Worth the investment.
Mate for iOS
Alright
A very good translation application, as a general rule the latter are relevant. For my part, I use it very often to translate from French to traditional Chinese and vice versa. Pining pronunciation and translation is very useful. The possibility of downloading the traditional Chinese dictionary would be great.

Mate for iOS
Excellent App
Precise and very intuitive app. The only negative point is the space where you write the text to be translated. Too small for iPad.
