@milberferreira Congratulations, this looks great. My only issue is that the meaning and essence of the message is lost in translation because language is a complex problem. That is why where the message to be delivered is very specific and important I would like to take an expert's help to ensure that the message is delivered across perfectly. Maybe you can have a premium feature where a proof reading is done by an expert in that language. All the best. Cheers
@rahulvats Exactly! We believe that Machine Translations still have a long way to go and that so far, no matter how advanced and sophisticated the algorithm is, Human Intelligence is still far above Artificial Intelligence. That's why we created Fluently, to get you started with a "more than decent" draft created by Neural Machine Translation algorithms, and then enable you to update the translated output to make it Human Perfect. Fluently is here to make your work(flow) easier, not to replace it ๐
Proofreading services is something we have in our roadmap but thanks for suggesting and reaffirming this is something users might find useful. Thank you!
@topazdoorway Awesome question, thanks for asking. We like to be humble in our ambition, but if all goes well, and we manage (through user feedback) to get a product that people would like to use every day to write their documents because they really enjoy working with it, it could replace both, now of course that's a dream ๐ - At first we believe that it would improve the lives of those who do a lot of non-native language writing on daily basis, marketing teams in international companies, e.g. But a wider user adoption ambition is not off the board.
@topazdoorway Google translate is so baaaad (possibly not with all languages), so I hope this would work on the web one day too :)
Dear Fluently users, a few of you have requested us to add the option to select the source language for the translation, and we listened to you.
We just deployed V 0.0.9-ฮฒ, which gives you the option to select the language source for the translation.
Please try logging in and give it a try. If you still can't select the source language, wait for 1 minute and you should see a notification prompting you to get Fluently's new version.
If you don't know which version you have, click on the "?" (question mark symbol). If you see V 0.0.9-ฮฒ, you are all set. I hope this helps ๐
I entered some Chinese copy and it detected Hungarian. I was not able to find where I could manually change the original language for translation. How can I manually set the language?
@malaklopezla Hi Malak, we just deployed a new version (V 0.0.9-ฮฒ), which gives you the option to select the language source for the translation manually. So you can change it to Chinese yourself, and continue now in that language.
Thanks for you feedback! We are improving Fluently with feedback like yours.
If you still can't select the source language, wait for 1 minute and you should see a notification prompting you to get Fluently's new version.
And if you come across other bugs, please let us know.
Haha I was just about to publish my new App https://fluentlly.com
I think i will postpone it for a few days to avoid confusion
Don't worry, my App does something else...
However I'm also using a translate feature - I would love to know what service are you using =)
@naveh_mevorach Hi, that's a coincidence. Thanks for postponing, we appreciate it :) I tried to visit your website but can't see anything. Would love to hear more about your app.
@milberferreira Your welcome! I just tried the link and its working. Maybe try: https://app.fluentlly.com
Good luck with your product! Looks great. There was a similar product a week ago. It called Writty
@naveh_mevorach Ah, that works! Nice! Looks great. I'll create an account to check it out in depth. Yes, Writty seems to be a great app too. Thanks for sharing!
@milberferreira That posted on product hunt as well... Would appreciate your support =) (only if you liked it)
Looks amazing. I also tested English to Turkish, French and French to English, Turkish. The Translation for French and English are good but Turkish has a real problem. I believe you'll solve translation issues since you're in beta.
That's an awesome tool, good luck!
@firatdogan Hi, thanks! Great that you are trying Fluently and even finding issues ๐
. We'll love to hear your feedback so that we can make Fluently even better ๐ https://www.videoask.com/fpy89nddi
@jerryalex Great question! Absolutely, we soon will be adding Speech-to-text and Text-to-speech features which will allow you to dictate and listen to the text you are translating. Also, we have a broader plan to make Fluently an educational platform for multilingual learners. Feel free to share your feedback with us and let us understand what you need to make Fluently work better for you in your educational journey, we are all ears.
We noticed that one of our servers shut down due to the incredible amount of traffic we are having, so maybe some of you experienced a few unanticipated bugs, but now everything should be back to normal. Please share screenshots with us and any other feedback that may be relevant to make Fluently even better. We appreciate you trying our tool in beta state.
This is so well designed and I found it a joy to try the Beta. Congrats on a great launch! Maybe a trade secret but do you employ models for the translation on top of existing public ones? I build ML in NLP in this area, so I'm curious how other people do this in production. Generally, nothing from scratch is possible without big funding ... ;)
Also, I wasn't sure how to share a document when I am finished (other than cut and paste?) Did I miss this in the design?
Congrats... I've just used it for translating a blog post I created in Spanish and which I translated using Google Translate with decent results but lots of proofreading from my part. I felt that using Fluntly was more humane and need it less human tweaking. Understanding how CNN works, you should be aiming for increasing usage for fine tuning.
@blondonfilms Thank you for trying our beta and for your comment. We are glad you are liking it is far. We will continue to improve the quality of our product over time, please stay tuned!
Hey I was actually looking for something like this, but somehow wasnt able to test it as it is not able to translate in Hindi or Bengali [ the languages I know]... will wait for your update :-)
@samikshaa Hi, thanks for trying Fluently, we do support both Hindi and Bengali ๐ Please give it another try and go to the dropdown on the "Translate to" dropdown.
Also, 1 thing that is a bit annoying about the use of Fluently:
you type some text, then have to choose Translate into - if I am a user coming to Fluently for the Translation aspect [which is what you are about, right? :) ] it would be good if there was a Translation mode or a choice to the interface so that it would remember and present the interface with the 2 panels right away.
Then, after typing text I choose my language great...and I reread my original text and notice a tweak I want to make - then it goes back to single column/wide mode ;( yuck... now I have to make my tweak and again select Language :( ;( wasteful, please make it that is stays in two column mode and just lets me edit in place and then translate in place after my edit...
@emmanuellemor Hey, thanks for trying out Fluently beta and for your comments. We added this โfocus-writingโ mode to all our beta users but soon you'll be able to preserve the split-screen state ๐ Please stay tuned as we release changes often and this feature upgrade is high in our priority.
@milberferreira I found a bug, Click on "Add a title" (don't type anything ) then click on the bold icon, turn it off then turn it on. The controls disappear. Great Product BTW, loved it.
Before sending i just checked it again, i think it happens with all the buttons.
@jacobbs Hi Jacob! Thank you for trying Fluently and reporting this to us. What browser and OS are you using? Thanks a million!
@milberferreira Mac, Firefox. I checked it in chrome and its fine. I guess the bug is only there in firefox.
@jacobbs Alright, I would appreciate if you could share a screenshot with us through this link https://www.videoask.com/fpy89nddi. Try to reproduce it but I can't. I did notice that we have a lot of traffic and one of our servers shut down, but that should have been fixed by now.
@jacobbs Awesome! Nothing to be sorry about, we appreciate so much you're wanting to help ๐
As a native spanish-speaker, I wouldn't say that it makes you sound fluent... to be honest, you can instantly tell it's an automatic translation. But I feel like the translations are still a lot better than Google Translate. The main reason I can't recommend it, is because it doesn't work the way they advertise it... at least their English to Spanish translations. But it's definitely a step forward compared to other solutions I've seen.
@javitoluz Hola Javier, gracias por tus comentarios y lamento que nuestra publicidad te parezca diferente al producto que ofrecemos, todavรญa estamos haciendo muchos cambios para que la aplicaciรณn se vuelva cada vez mejor y ofrezca otros mรฉtodos de comunicaciรณn, como dictado.
Creemos firmemente que las Traducciones automรกticas todavรญa tienen un largo camino por recorrer, y que hasta ahora, no importa cuรกn avanzado y sofisticado sea el algoritmo, la Inteligencia Humana todavรญa estรก muy por encima de la Inteligencia Artificial. Es por eso que creamos con Fluently, para que pueda comenzar con un borrador mรกs que decente creado por los algoritmos de Neural Machine Translation, y luego incluso poder actualizar la traduccion para que sea lo mas perfecta posible. Creamos Fluently para facilitar nuestro trabajo con las traducciones, no para reemplazar a los humanos de la ecuaciรณn ๐
@milberferreira That's a great way of thinking. I'll definitely be looking into future updates, and I look forward to testing your English-Spanish translations again! Good luck to all of your team.
Hi everyone, so many nice comments! Almost 600 users tried out our beta already so far. Absolutely amazing. If you tried it out, we would love to hear your feedback. We want to improve this tool and therefore would love to hear what you liked and disliked. You can share your feedback here: https://www.videoask.com/fpy89nddi
Thanks in advance!
Awesome product! Just a small bug report: Flags are not working on Linux (Chromium), you should probably switch to SVG (or font) like on the other icons instead of Emoji flags.
@yves_hoppe Thank you for trying it out and for great your feedback. We will be adding SVG flags shorty ๐
If you detected the lang don't propose to translate into this lang. The title isn't translated on my side. Otherwise it's working.
@hotgeart Hey, thanks for the feedback. What is happening is that we are detecting your browser language settings and applying those as the target language to translate. If you have any suggestions on how would you prefer this to work we are all ears ๐๐
@kayd_yonis1 Thanks a lot! We are super excited and will keep on improving to make the quality even better. Thanks for your support. Stay tuned!
I started using this since I saw it here on PH. I was translating between english and polish and compared some outcomes with Google Translator - they're very similar and even some of them was better than with Google Translator. Great work!
@agata_janke Thank you! It's great to hear that you like it so far. If you have any suggestions or features that you miss, please let us know, we take your feedback very seriously.
This looks absolutely amazing! I love the tabs, it's feels so... effortless to work through documents. Well done.
@roythompson6 Thanks! We spend some time in fine-tuning the tabs' mechanism to make it feel effortless ๐ Glad to hear this is paying off
@roythompson6 Hi Roy is the website of Fluently still works? or there are developments.
