1. Google Translate<\/a>\"portuguese-translator-app\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Available on: Android<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0iOS<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Google Translate has come a long way in recent years. No longer is it a mere feature of the powerful search engine\u2014if anything, this free app is probably one of the best of its kind.<\/p>\n

Translations are checked and approved by the community, so there’s minimal room for error. There are many interactive components to choose from too: you can enter some text, write a word on your screen with your finger, say it aloud, take a photo or listen to the words being spoken back to you.<\/p>\n

Both Brazilian and European Portuguese learners can benefit from Google Translate, to a point. Audio playback on translated words is more favorable to the Brazilian accent. Other than that, the app pretty much works fine.<\/p>\n

And if you want to translate text from an image\u2013such as when you’re looking at a Portuguese menu\u2013Google Lens<\/a> is also very reliable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. DeepL<\/a>\"deepl<\/h2>\n

Available on:<\/strong> Android<\/a> | iOS<\/a><\/p>\n

DeepL is one of the most advanced translation apps around, and it\u2019s actually what professional translators often use! Since it\u2019s powered by advanced AI, its translations tend to be more accurate.<\/p>\n

You can easily download the mobile app or go to the website directly, where you can copy-paste the text you want and even upload an entire file. It\u2019s free for a certain number of characters, which might be more than enough if you only want to do short translations.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s cool is it also has a browser extension, which lets you translate Portuguese words into English as you read them.<\/p>\n

DeepL is pretty versatile in terms of languages, so it works for both European and Brazilian Portuguese.\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Reverso<\/a>\"reverso<\/h2>\n

Available on:<\/strong> Android<\/a> | iOS<\/a><\/p>\n

Reverso is a handy language tool that covers Portuguese-to-English translation, among other useful features. You can translate thousands of characters in one go for free.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Portuguese learner, you\u2019ll want to check out this app because it lets you look up Portuguese words and expressions and see what they mean in context. You\u2019ll get to see several possible translations, along with example sentences. There’s a conjugation tool<\/a> too for Portuguese.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reverso leans more towards European Portuguese, but it can also handle Brazilian Portuguese.<\/p>\n

Learning new words and phrases in context is one of the best ways to learn the language. While Reverso is great at this, if you prefer learning through context via videos, you could give FluentU a try.

FluentU<\/strong> takes authentic videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.<\/p>\n
