Google Translate with Yalango

Yalango uses Google Translate wherever it offers to translate something for you.

Where it's used

• Adding a card - auto-translate what you typed into the other language.
• The translation popover - looking up a word while reading a text or notebook.
• Translate sentence in text study mode.
• Yalango Watch - looking up words from a video.

Each of those counts as one machine translation.

Your allowance

Plan	Translations per month
Free	50
Premium	Unlimited, subject to reasonable use

Individual requests are limited to 1,000 characters, on both plans.

When you run out you'll see a message that the free translation quota has been exceeded for this month. The allowance resets at the start of each month. You can see how many you've used on Your Plan.

Making 50 go further

Nothing else about Yalango is blocked when translations run out - you can still read, study, and save cards by typing the meaning yourself. A few habits help:

• Translate only the word that's actually blocking your understanding, not every word you're unsure about.
• Use Add without translating in Watch and type meanings you already know.
• Translate the word, not the sentence, when the word is all you need.

Unsupported languages

Google Translate doesn't cover every language Yalango supports. When your pair isn't supported, the translate option is hidden and Yalango tells you so, but you can still type the meaning yourself and save the card. Everything except the automatic suggestion keeps working.

Accuracy

Machine translation is a starting point, not an authority. For single words it's usually fine; for idioms and anything where context matters it can be confidently wrong. When it matters, ask on the forums - a native speaker will tell you what a machine can't.
