Didn’t notice until today that Kagi has a translation service. Simple, works well. This’ll be my new default instead of Google.

@manton I used Kagi translate on my recent trip to the Azores. It worked great.

@heyloura @manton I’ve also started using Kagi translate more often. If I find myself in a situation where the person I am speaking to does not have a translate app with them, but is familiar with Google Translate, I’ll use that. But yes, definitely making more use of Kagi.

@manton I didn’t know this either! Easy switch to make. Thank you!

@manton I really like it, especially the variety of options it provides for any given translation that are idiomatic and geographically relevant. Plus, no Google 👍

@manton I’m intrigued I’ll test it thanks for sharing! :)

Their claims on this post blog.kagi.com/kagi-translate seem very ambitious to me. I'm going to compare it with Deepl that I use heavily on a daily basis.

I find it hard to believe that a recent tool like Kagi, which isn't a specialist, is better than Deepl (pro or free version is not detailed).

In any case, Kagi seems to have some interesting features, especially when it comes to accessing websites.

@manton I’ve been trying to use it for Finnish, not quite on Google Translate level yet unfortunately. But will keep an eye on it for future improvements for sure.

@jrouet We’d love for you to explore its unique features more extensively and see how it truly stands out from the rest 🙂

I just learned about it a few days ago and installed their Android app. It has an app shortcut and I can copy text from one app and share to that app shortcut to translate.

I like it so far because not only does it translate Georgian, it also will translate Georgian that has been transliterated into Latin characters. Google translate wouldn’t work for that.
