User reviews
Er ist schon sehr gut, schafft aber auch nicht alles direkt zu übersetzen. Bin trotzdem zufrieden und dafür gibts gute 4 Sterne..

Der letzte Dreck, total unbrauchbar mich!! nach fast einem halben Tag sinnlos verschwendeter Zeit fliegt der scheiß Müll wieder vom PC bevor ich den irgenwann aus Versehen vor lauter Wut aus dem Fenster kloppe!!!!.... Kein Wunder, dass Google schon ewig der Marktführer ist, wenn es um schnelle und inhaltlich korrekte Übersetzungen mit möglichst richtiger Grammatik für fast alle möglichen Situationen und Geräte ist und es wohl auch immer bleiben wrid!!... Es ist scheiß egal welchen markierten Text oder welche Webseite von ganz egal welcher Sprache in irgendeine andere übersetzen lassen will.. Jedes verfickte Mal kommt eine erbärmliche Meldung!! Darin steht auch zielstrebig der selbe Fehler, nämlich "Beim Laden der Übersetzungs-Engine ist ein Fehler aufgetreten" und man kann versuchen und tun was man will, es ändert sich rein gar nichts darn!! Wie gesagt, allerletzter Scheißdreck!! DANKE FÜR NICHTS!! Und Tschüss..
