Best mobile app to translate English - Vietnamese in your opinion?

GuestPoster348Guest01 November 2016 02:36:01

Hi expat/local,

I want to ask this for a foreigner:

what do you think is the best mobile app to translate English - Vietnamese?

He showed me an app he's using, but in my opinion, not very correct.

Thank you!

I use google translate for a wide variety of languages; it's far from perfect but it gets the job done reasonably well.

I use one called Learn Vietnamese. This is ok for basic words and phrases. I'm using an audio book by Pimsleur to learn the language basics and it's quite good.

I find that generally Google translate mangles translations either way between English and Vietnamese. I do use it from sometimes to get the gist of a long newspaper article, before deciding whether to read the original Vietnamese myself.
