SMS Translator
Free AppAbout SMS Translator
SMS Translation software. Translates your SMS to your friends language and auto-translates all incoming SMS to your language.
** For Android 4.4.2+ please use SMS Translator v3 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.optimaldepth.smstranslator3. This version does not support inline translations on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) or above. *******
** This version is no longer being supported and all new fixes and modifications will be in SMS Translator V3. **
Type or speak your messages.
Text to speech of messages for 16 languages, saves to a library for listening and training. You can create your own custom library of phrases that are relevant to you and not be limited to pre-canned expressions.
Now includes an auto-translate option under Options. When selected, all incoming SMS messages will be automatically translated and appended to the bottom of the original message
Now includes speech to text! Speak your message instead of typing. Speech to text will use the language you have set as your language in the options.
Language Training! Use Rosetta-stone like functionality for any phrases saved in your library! To use just press and hold the phrase and press 'Practice'. Practice until you sound like a native! Supports Catalan, Danish, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, and Chinese.
Use Bing or Google for translation.
Over 40 languages supported for translating to and from.
If you have received a large SMS message and are having trouble translating it using the Google Service, try using Bing or the Google Beta service. Bing is probably the best choice as an alternative as the Google Beta is limited on the amount of requests perday
Conversation thread to easily keep track of the messages from within the application.
The app only uses the existing SMS database unlike other apps so there is no separate copies of the messages floating around eating up your disk space.

Ive reduced my rating on this app, why cant you fix the bug that when there is a problem with network comms you cannot quit the app while it is trying to translate the message you just wrote? The only way you can stop it is go to running processes and force the app to stop, you then lose the message you just typed! Its really annoying and inconvenient.
