Google Translate, it's very convenient, but we have to admit that over time, Translation errors and misunderstanding the context of a sentence can prove annoying. While Google's translation tool can easily be considered one of the most comprehensive on the market (especially for free), there are still quality alternatives that it would be a shame to completely ignore. And this is especially true with the advent of artificial intelligence. Here are some quality alternatives for performing high-quality translations.

Reverso

While Reverso has never managed to overtake Google Translate in terms of popularity, it is nevertheless one of the veterans in the field, and has expanded with numerous features and in-depth translation over the years. Today, Reverso offers many linguistic tools.

It is still possible to translate texts directly into many languages, but that's not all. Reverso can also act as a conjugation tool, a grammar tool (you can ask it questions directly about this), a dictionary, but also a spelling and grammar checker.

Reverso is available for free, but it is also possible to take out a paid subscription if, for example, you want to have entire documents translated. For example, for around €5 per month, Reverso can handle the translation of texts with up to 50,000 words per year, or more than 200,000 words per year for around €20 per month.

Reverso generally offers faithful translations, and is a great alternative to Google Translate, despite its seniority in this market.

DeepL

DeepL is a tool created by the same Linguee team. This is a translation service that is currently considered to be one of the most powerful and comprehensive on the market, allowing you to translate texts into 31 different languages. It also allows for a more natural and organic translation approach.

The advantage of DeepL over Google Translate lies in its understanding of syntax, but also the context of certain words. Moreover, it also adapts punctuation if necessary, as the latter can vary depending on the chosen language.

It also allows you to directly choose a writing style (professional, simple, academic, technical) to offer greater variety in renderings.

For the pros: Bablic

In addition to DeepL, Bablic is one of the translation tools that has gained a good reputation in recent years. Now considered one of the most effective on the market, it offers a large number of features but has one drawback: it is paid.

For example, Bablic stands out from the rest of the competition by offering an SEO and Google ranking optimization system, suitable for all languages.

Artificial Intelligence

It would be a shame to ignore the impact that artificial intelligence has had on the field of translation.

Thus, there are several effective solutions to take advantage of artificial intelligence in the context of a text translation.

ChatGPT

The advantage of ChatGPT is its flexibility. It can indeed be used in various ways. For example, you can simply copy text to translate from somewhere, then paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to translate it into the language you want, and ChatGPT takes care of the job in just a few seconds.
