Naver Papago (Korean: 네이버 파파고), shortened to Papago and stylized as papago, is a multilingual machine translation cloud service provided by Naver Corporation. The name Papago comes from the Esperanto word for parrot, Esperanto being a constructed language.[1]
Features
[edit]Papago ended its trial phase and officially launched on July 19, 2017, with translation options. It was only available as a smartphone app but it has since launched its own website and has expanded to other languages.[1]
From November 2019, Papago was changed to be available without Internet service.[2]
In 2020, the image translation function was introduced, and text in photos can be translated directly.[3]
