Google Translate Update Feedback: New Design Praised, Functionality Criticized

I live learning phrases etc but id love to speak and it audibly translates to spanish if im missing something Please tell me

Recent changes where we can no longer coax the system to force the informal ‘tu’ or the formal ‘vous’ - we used to be able to put tu/vous directly into the English version in place of “you” to force the translation…now it completely ignores this and just randomly gives us tu or vous forms as it sees fit - which has nothing to do with our desired translation.

Also with the part tense we used to be able to add “it rained” to translate to the passé composé and then “it was raining” to translate to the imperfect. But now it also ignores our input and decides on its own. This defeats the purpose of its not translating what I’m telling it I want.

Huge ongoing glitch! They don’t specify the gender on French nouns that begin with vowels. Most words you can see le for masculine or la for feminine. But for nouns the begin with vowels it’s contracted to l’ so we can’t tell the gender. I’ve send several pieces of feedback to correct this glitch by using the indefinite article un or une instead, which is never contracted or just by identifying the noun as masc or fem. It’s been years of me among suggestions and Google refuses to fix this design flaw.

Such as different voices instead we are not able to choose male or female, accent or no-accent, etc….

I thought this was a free app, why was I charged. Also don’t even see how I can cancel so I won’t be charged again that’s typical of Google and I’m such a fan of Google.

This app constantly freezes and doesn’t work. It will sit blank and then tell you have no internet connection when you have 5G and you’re connected to wifi.

it’s only silent when volume is turned all the way down - still beeps even when silent switch is toggled
