Naver Papago (), shortened to Papago and stylized as papago, is a multilingual machine translation cloud service provided by Naver Corporation. The name Papago comes from the Esperanto word for parrot, Esperanto being a constructed language.
Features
Papago ended its trial phase and officially launched on July 19, 2017, with translation options. It was only available as a smartphone app but it has since launched its own website and has expanded to other languages.
From November 2019, Papago was changed to be available without Internet service.
In 2020, the image translation function was introduced, and text in photos can be translated directly.
