iTranslate is a translation app that converts text, speech and photographed signs between more than 100 languages. Its text mode offers autocomplete and alternative translations, voice mode recognizes speech and translates it aloud in different voices and dialects, and camera mode reads menus, cards and signs through a phone camera. Offline translation works in many popular languages without a connection, and offline voice translation is available in four languages. A keyboard extension brings translation into messaging apps, and extras include verb conjugations, transliteration of non-Latin characters and a phrasebook.
iTranslate is written for travelers, students, business professionals, employers and medical staff who need to read, write and speak in another language. A tourist can photograph a menu or sign, a student can look up word meanings and conjugate verbs, and a business traveler can hold a voice conversation or save frequent phrases as favorites. Staff in medical or employer settings can use quick text and voice translation to communicate with people who speak a different language. Because versions exist for several devices, it suits people who want one app across their phone, tablet and watch.
Typical scenarios include translating a restaurant menu with the camera, avoiding roaming costs by downloading languages for offline use, and chatting with friends abroad through the keyboard extension in a favorite messaging app. The Apple Watch app works as a standalone translator on the wrist, and the share extension translates any selected text from another app. iPad users get Slide Over and multi-window support, and everyone can use light or dark mode. Translation history and a favorites list make it quick to reuse earlier results. Apps are offered for iOS, macOS and Android, plus a web app.
