Italian Translator app review: a great translation tool for translating English to and from Italian

Introduction

If you are looking for a translation tool to facilitate your learning of Italian, then Italian Translator is a great iPhone and iPad app that is sure to help you achieve your goals.

Optimized for iPhone 5 and fully compatible with iOS 7, this app translates any word, phrase, or text both from Italian to English and from English to Italian.

Let's find out what the developers have packed in this translation app for the modest price of $0.99.

Speedy And Sleek

The first thing I have to mention about Italian Translator is that at a storage space requirement of only 6.7MB for installation, this is a really lightweight app. It also works at lightning speeds, producing results in under a second each time.

The app interface has a very pleasant feel to it, with two small text windows: one for Italian, and the other for English text. You can enter the text in either language box and receive the results in the adjacent one.

Pronunciations of words in both languages are available and examples of real-life usage of your searched word or phrase can be easily viewed on Twitter, giving you a thorough understanding of what it means.

Favorites & History

If you find a word or phrase particularly delightful-sounding and wish to retrieve it later, then you have the option of saving it to your favorites.

There is a blue ribbon on the right side of the Italian text box which you can slide vertically in either direction to view a history of the words or phrases you have translated before, giving you your entire search history.

Although most of the features of this app require an internet connection, the Favorites and search History can be accessed even if you are offline.

You can also shake the phone for a random word in English, which will be translated into Italian as well, giving you an instantaneous flash card, or simply a new word to use that day.

At some point, you are bound to come across a word or phrase that you want to share with your friends and family. For this reason, the developers have also featured a fully-integration social media section. Share items using Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr. You can also send it via SMS, email, or copy it to clipboard for pasting into other communication tools such as WhatsApp and Viber.

If you purchase this app and found it useful in developing your Italian fluency, then you could also go for the in-app purchase of Universal Translator, which includes 14 more languages.
