Naver Papago (Hangul: 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.
Features
Papago ended its trial phase and officially launched on July 19, 2017, with translation options for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, English, Spanish, and French.[1] It was only available as a smartphone app but it has since launched its own website and has expanded to other languages.[2]
From November 2019, Papago was changed to be available without Internet service.[3]
In 2020, the image translation function was introduced, and text in photos can be translated directly. It supports a total of six languages, including Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai.[4]
Main functions
- 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. It is available in six languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai.[5]
Special functions
WSD screen
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.[6]
Automatic conversion of exchange rate
Using real-time exchange rate information, the current exchange rate is calculated along with the translation result.[6]
