Naver Papago (Korean네이버 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]

Main functions

[edit]
  • 1:1 Conversation Mode: An interactive translation, translated through speech recognition.
  • Image Translation: The portion of a photo in a gallery or the characters in a newly photographed picture is specified and translated into text.[4]

Special functions

[edit]

WSD screen

[edit]

If a homonym is detected in a sentence to be translated, the translator presents various interpretations for a homograph found in an input sentence. Users can choose a specific meaning and receive the retranslated sentence associated with their selected sense. Each sense is represented as a clear image on the translation result screen.[5]

Automatic conversion of exchange rate

[edit]

Using real-time exchange rate information, the current exchange rate is calculated along with the translation result.
