People now live in an age of
globalization that where people are coming from abroad also live around the
environment. Certainly the language became obstacle in communicating, thus
beginning the translation application that could help people in communicating
and can learn other languages named Flitto. Because it's very important to
communicate well so there is no misunderstanding the meaning of a conversation
conducted by two or more persons. This translator application can be downloaded
free on the android and ios devices, but Flitto has shown itself well to
computer users. Flitto was founded by Simon Lee assisted two others namely Dang
Kang and Jin Kim, on 1st September, 2012. The company is
headquartered in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. Flitto also works closely with
other global companies such as Microsoft, JYP, Google, and Naver. This app uses
crowdsourcing system where people who have the capability of more than one
language are joined with those who need a translation. Filtto also supports
translations not only in the form of text but can also be in the form of images
and sound. Then Flitto also provides translations in 18 different languages,
namely Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (traditional), English, France,
Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Hindi, Portuguese, Russia, Spain,
Thailand, Tagalog, Turkey and Viet Nam.
Then there are the steps to use the
Flitto application, first you must register but if you feel too bothered to
have multiple accounts you can login using your Facebook account, Twitter, and
Google +. If you are Computer users, you can register at https://www.flitto.com.
Then once registered you will be told to choose what you mother language or usually
you use the language, after that you will be told to verify the email after you
already do email verification, congratulations you have registered at Flitto.
It looks almost like other social media but certainly different goal because
this application is based to translate.
Flitto has some feature that is
quite unique because they have the use of the system points to translate
something whether it be text, images, and sound. This point will be used when
you will post something that you want to translate. After the post just wait
for answers from translators who are ready to translate what has been posted.
Flitto applies a system of points for respecting the interpreters. In addition
these points can also be used to buy anything in the store that has been provided
by Flitto, that points can also turn into money and can also used to give
donations to the needy. If we can use the points of course there must be some
way of getting the points. Any way to get those points. Some of the trick is to
translate from a posting and purchase it with a credit card.
After we find out some of the
features provided by Flitto now how to use it, first I will explain how to
post. Before you post something you would choose 4 types i.e. short text, long
text, pictures and sound. If you select text you will choose the translation
from the language you want then translated to the language that need translated,
after you already choose the language you can type something and then post it.
If you select image first you need to choose the language first to translate to
that language you want then upload the pictures when you're done uploading the
pictures then post. Neither with the voice of the process is the same. After
completion of the post just wait for comments from others or can we call a
translator after translated you can select the best translation if you still feel
confused leave to Flitto who will choose the best translation. Flitto also has
a page named content varied themes such as humor, dating tips, health, and
culture. Don't worry if you don't understand the language the article is due to
be translated by the user or the translator. In addition to content, Flitto
also has a "Follow" to add a friend in Flitto but unfortunately it can
not be used for private chat. Before this we spoke if as the user now what if
we as a translator, youshould first do is enroll in a profile by entering your
paypal email. after that you choose the second language configuration in
settings. Congratulations you have listed as translators. To earn points as a
translator, translating the other people then wait until they if they like it
or not.
We now know how the application
works. Now how when we were there was outside the country or meet people who
are not from the region of origin certainly communication is going to be a
constraint, if you are in doubt or confuse must speak something then just use
this application in order for the conversation going so smoothly. And to use
the sentence also does not have to be formal because non-formal could also be
translated. Then after post you got a direct translation but sometimes not
always fast, there's a new translating after 1 minute. But sometimes there are
also no translation at all for this case do not worry because the points you
will be refunded so don’t afraid to lose points when wanting to post something.
But it's not always an application only has its benefits but there are also
drawbacks like every post should use points then what if our points under the
terms we will be sure to post the confusion. If we can master more than one
language will not be a problem because we only translate posts other people
properly. But if we know one language only means that we should buy the points
by using a credit card. For computer user can only be purchased through paypal,
Android could buy it via play store, and ios can be via iTunes. The weakness of
the other Flitto is not like other social media applications since these
applications only translate and do comment.
To use this application you should
steady internet connection because if unstable sometimes when you post
something not going out the postings. Flitto using TCP Layer which means
Tranport connection must be stable. Then use TCP because it can provide a
package that quite a lot. Flitto also uses port 443 we can see directly web
hosting using "Https" and "WWW". This port is more secure
than the port 80 which is using "Http" as the protocol used is quite
wide.
Finally we have come to the end
part, once again I have to say that communication is important especially if
the conversation has a specific meaning. If a conversation occurs in people who
have a different language of course you must understand the language in order
to know the meaning the conversation. If you are still less understand to talk
using that language, now many applications the translation but many less
precises and its language should also be raw. Flitto applications can translate
the 18 different languages without having to use raw language or official. The
review of the application of Flitto Thank you.
