We love feedback

Our next project: Transissimo

Transissimo is a project we've been working on that will allow people to share high-quality human translations.

It's perfect for people that want to put their language-mastery to use helping others or for those that need especially reliable translations.

We're about to start a private beta to get the site going. If transissimo sounds interesting to you, leave us your contact info below and we'll get in touch soon!



Here are a few tips to make sure your experience with NT is as nice as possible.

  1. Keep it simple! Our translations are provided by the Google Translation API and among the best machine-translations available. Still, you can count on better results if you simplify the language you use where possible.
  2. Details count. If you aren't satisfied with a result, be sure that capitilization and accent marks are correct. Details like this sometimes have an effect on your translation.
  3. Select a source language. If auto-detect isn't accurately determining the language you're typing in, hover over the green tab on the right and specify the language yourself.
  4. Want more? If you're looking for even more advanced tips, you can find them right here.

Nice Translator was created during the Fall of 2008 to provide an improved interface for translating text on the Web. Although web-technologies have advanced greatly recently, existing online translators remain cumbersome to use.

Thanks to the Google Translation API, we were able to focus on designing a simple and functional online translator, unlike any other to date.

We will continue to develop NiceTranslator over the coming months but will not stray from our initial purpose of providing an easy to use and straightforward online translator.
