The API is pretty simple and well-documented, and quite responsive. It is definitely easy to set up, get sample responses for testing, and then scale up for bulk processing.

Simple and colorful interface, allows you to choose between the four main modes of translation and includes shortcuts to view the translation history and the conversation guide and allows me to choose the mode of transmission, be it voice, camera, text.

I don't like that the translations are not always correct and sometimes the sentences are "confused" even if, the common sense is understood.
