The translation features are getting better all the time. It is great
to see some of our suggestions being implemented.  Butttttt - while
the swap button now swaps for example Chinese and English it isn't
doing it properly.  So  you type in English and it translates into
Chinese.  You hit the swap button to check it and instead of
exchanging the English text for the Chinese characters, you  get
English (the same English - which is rather useless) in both dialogue
boxes.  Same sort of thing happens with Chinese.

We need the actual body of text/characters to swap consistently and
the translation to swap consistently - A to B, B to A.  This is
important, because sometimes the translation is way off.  We need to
be able to use the "click on words for alternate translations" option
after a swap as well, not just before the swap.  The whole point is to
be able to choose different characters until you get the meaning you
want and swap it back and forth to check.  Of course if the characters
aren't swapping you're screwed and can only use the back button to try
to get back to usable input.

I wish I could post screen shots here to show the issues.

Please keep working on this feature - it has improved so much over the
past 3 years.

I also would like to be able to simply choose a 2 language pair as a
default (radio buttons?) and not just have the 'detect' language
feature as the default.  I only use Chinese and English and it
sometimes is a nuisance to have to tell GT what to do every time you
use GT.
