## What is Bavarian Translator for Oma?

Talk with Oma and Opa in their own words — even in broad Bavarian dialect. Bavarian Translator is a real-time, two-way voice translator between a German speaker and an English speaker. The screen splits in half — German on top, English below — so both people follow the whole conversation at once.

Built so Oma can keep up: German speech can be slowed right down for elderly listeners, in a warm Austrian voice that sounds close to home. Choose how you talk — tap a mic per turn, go fully hands-free, or stream the translation live as you speak. Sitting across a table? Face-to-Face mode flips the screen so each side reads their own language on one phone.

• Understands real Bavarian (Boarisch), not just standard German
• Slow, clear German speech tuned for older listeners
• Four ways to talk: Tap, hands-free Auto, Live streaming, and Face-to-Face
• Powered by top AI engines (Gemini, Llama, Voxtral) — auto-switches if one is busy, so it never gets stuck
• Tap any line to hear it spoken again
• Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking

— A note from the developer —

This app is free, forever. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall, no "premium" tier to unlock — everything is included from day one. Too good to be true? There's a reason: I built this to give something back in the AI era, not to bill for it.

Missing a feature you love from some paid "premium" app? Tell me, and I'll build it — for everyone, at no cost. This is a personal mission to keep families talking across languages and generations.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-08-15

This update improves app stability and reliability.

### 2.0 — 2026-07-28

This release adds Apple App Attest. Your iPhone now cryptographically enrolls itself with our translation service, so it can verify requests come from a genuine copy of the app rather than a copycat burning through the shared quota.

For you it's invisible, with one upside: verified devices get a higher request limit, so long back-and-forth conversations are less likely to hit a throttle.

Thanks for using Bavarian Translator!

### 1.2 — 2026-07-03

Live and Auto mode now show a translating bubble the instant you start speaking, instead of waiting until you finish — and it animates smoothly into the finished translation.

Fixed: tapping a message to hear it again in Live/Auto mode could get picked up by the always-on mic and re-translated as a duplicate message.

Fixed: Tap mode could occasionally return a stray reply when no real speech was captured.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-30

No release notes.
