"4/7 Update: They fixed it, it's a new layout but it works! The new update is horrendous, they went and tried to make it look cleaner (I guess) but in the process made it more complicated, harder to find things or change languages, and a big one... When you swapped languages it would automatically turn your keyboard to the language you chose, now it just stays in English until you manually switch. Very disappointed in the new app, I'll be trying to find an old apk to download.",
"This app used to be top notch until you had this last upgrade.... I think the changes made it a lot less efficient. Eg; the 'tap to translate' is'nt as sleek as before, now you have to 'paste' first.... And again, assuming you're translating from English to Spanish and then choose translate from Spanish to English, it doesn't swap back like it used to, you have to go back and change it back(the language, the one beneath) unlike before. Please just bring back the previous version. Thank you.",
"This app helps a lot. Can you please add the option to use the default voice settings on a person's device. I use UK male voice as default on assistant but this translate keep outputting with a female voice. I want to talk to someone as a man not a female. It sounds weird. This should be something that could have been fixed a long time ago. We all don't have to use female voice.",
"5 ⭐ in capability for translation. 3 ⭐ in that it is too focused, almost like tunnel vision. That part is still there. But I appreciate the fact that when going from one language to another especially in a different form of alphabet, it brings up the correct keyboard for that translation. There are other adjustments that I highly appreciate. Current rating: 4 ⭐",
"I really hate this upgrade. I use this app everyday living in mexico. I used to be able to copy text and hit the floating icon and have it Auto translated. Now I have to clear the previous translation and then make an extra click to translate the new one, and do that each time. It's extremely annoying to have to clear out old translations before getting new ones when I have copied the text and it doesn't automatically translate it. Please go back to the old version that didn't suck."

}Rate Limiting
Each subscription has its own rate limit. Your limit is based on your subscription plan (free or paid). If you exceed your limits, don’t worry. You can always upgrade or downgrade at any time.
When you reach a rate limit (both daily and monthly), the service will stop responding and return an HTTP 429 response status code. The error will contain the following JSON string body text.
{
"status": "fail",
"data": "",
"reason": "Usage limit reached. Please review/upgrade your account"
}
A reminder email will be sent to you when your API usage reaches 80% and 90% so that you can take immediate actions such as upgrading your plan in order to prevent your application using the API from being interrupted.
Error Codes
