Samsung revealed its new <a title=\"samsung galaxy s4 event\" href=\"http:\/\/onsoftware.en.softonic.com\/samsung-releases-tons-of-first-party-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flagship phone<\/a> yesterday with a new translation app that betters Google Translate in some ways.<\/p>\n<p>The old Google Translate only allowed you to access your history of translated phrases, but there was no way to save your favorite phrases. Today, Google released Phrasebook for Google Translate, which lets you do just that. The change to the website is a subtle one. Users will find a star under the translation box, which, when clicked, will save the phrase to your Phrasebook.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37585\" title=\"save to phrasebook\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/3-15-2013-1-26-01-PM.jpg\" alt=\"save to phrasebook\" width=\"640\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/3-15-2013-1-26-01-PM.jpg 640w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/3-15-2013-1-26-01-PM-300x90.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To access your Phrasebook later, there&#8217;s an icon of a book with a star in the top right corner. This will expand your Phrasebook to the right and will avoid taking up the entire page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37586\" title=\"google translate phrasebook\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/3-15-2013-1-26-52-PM.jpg\" alt=\"google translate phrasebook\" width=\"640\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/3-15-2013-1-26-52-PM.jpg 640w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/3-15-2013-1-26-52-PM-300x85.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This works well enough but there is one huge oversight. You <strong>cannot edit your phrases<\/strong>. This means that any translation that turns up incorrect can&#8217;t be corrected before you save it to your Phrasebook.
