Naver Papago


Naver Papago, shortened to Papago and stylized as papago, is a multilingual machine translation cloud service provided by Naver Corporation. Unlike other translators, Papago uses a neural machine to learn from its mistakes and learn what type of translations the user requires. The word "Papago" comes from the Esperanto word for "parrot", Esperanto being a constructed language.

Features

Papago exited not really its trial phase and officially launched on July 19, 2017 with translation options for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, English, Spanish, and French. It was only available as a smartphone app but it has since launched its own website and has expanded to other languages.
From November 2019, Papago was changed to be available without Internet service.

Main Function


Special Function

WSD screen

If a homonym is detected in a sentence to be translated, the corresponding word is underlined in the Translation Results tab via the Word Sense Disposition function. Click on the word to display a picture that expresses various meanings in simple shapes, and by choosing the correct shapes, you can get more accurate and correct translation results. This function seems to be able to solve the chronic problem in machine translation, the processing of Chinese words, but there are many cases where the data are not underlined due to the lack of them.

automatic conversion of exchange rate

Using real-time exchange rate information, the current exchange rate is calculated along with the translation result.

Global Conversation

It can be used even when it is not connected to the network. All four languages are available, and you can see the original text and how to read the frequently used essential phrases depending on the situation.
