Yup. The only Google product that I've found hard to replace as someone who frequently needs to semi-coherently communicate in a foreign language is Google Translate. Google Translate still is far from perfect, but it's a decent enough check on my spelling and grammar, but it's lightyears ahead of any competition I've found so far.

https://www.deepl.com/translator is amazing, maybe even better than Google translate.

Started typing some Japanese in there and it detected French! Then I noticed that it only supports a small handful of languages. I have to admit I use Google Translate too, though it's often pretty bad at translating Japanese.
That reminds me of the TED talk [0] Luis von Ahn did when he announced duolingo.
It's a great product, I stopped using google translate when I discovered this one. The translation is much better, more accurate IMO.

Excellent, I haven't tried this one. I'll give it a shot, thanks!
