Mate is The New Instant Translate
Many of you got used to good old Instant Translate. But, now our time for change has come. Instant Translate finally becomes better and lighter, its user interface — more perceptible, user-friendly and understandable. And it changes its name to Mate.
We want to be a single choice for instant translation. We think that «mate it» will mean «come on, just start using Mate and forget about tabbing to translation websites». And it’s literally going to become your mate who always has your back with translations, believe us.
We made a significant redesign of the app which resulted in vastly improved readability, contrast, and user experience. Every single user-interface element became more perceptible, readable and understandable.
Just compare these two pairs of screenshots from Google Chrome and Mac:
Of course, more than 6 months of hearing nothing from us in terms of app updates could not have been used only for redesign and rebranding, so we also added some amazing features you’ve been asking for. The major one is the synchronization of all your translation history and Phrasebook. Mate now synchronizes all your translations so that you can refer to them wherever and whenever you want. You can install Mate on a variety of devices and Mate will synchronize between all of them. No more lost translations, even between devices!
Besides the new name, cosmetic changes and new features, there is also one important aspect that got massively upgraded. It’s our vision. From now on, we pursue a goal of creating a top-notch software ecosystem that will have your back with translations anywhere at any time.
You can expect a lot of amazing updates and integrations from us in the nearest future. E.g., we will re-introduce our Human Translation feature on a whole new level. You will be able to order a translation by experts in a few clicks within your Mate.
Stay tuned and share Mate with your friends! Let’s mate it all.
