About Reverso

Reverso is a language tools service that offers translation, dictionaries and grammar help in a browser, apps and extensions. Its tagline highlights usage examples, meaning that translations are shown in context from bilingual texts rather than as isolated words.

Users such as students, writers and translators rely on this kind of tool to check how a word or phrase is used, to translate sentences and to check spelling and grammar. The vendor site blocked automated access when this entry was written, so confirm the current tools, languages and subscription options on the Reverso website.

Reverso is proprietary software delivered as a hosted web service with companion apps. It is listed under localization here because of its translation focus, though it is aimed mostly at individual language learners and professionals rather than software teams.
