## What is Cultran?

Cultran is a cultural translator for travelers, digital nomads, and anyone that wants accurate translations to another language.

Speak, take a photo of a sign, or just type, and get translations that preserve meaning, tone, formality, and local context. 

Some languages have different words and meaning based on who you are, your age, your gender, and relationship to the person you’re speaking with. This is very hard to capture with common translators. With Cultran, you specify and set conversation rules for every conversation. We use state of the art AI and text to speech techniques to help you deliver exactly what you want to say in the context of the speaker, no more awkward, incorrect, or impolite translations. 


WHY CULTRAN

Reads the room
- Cultran considers who you are, who you are speaking to, and the situation so the same intent can sound casual, polite, formal, or honorific.

Voice, camera, or text
- Speak naturally, take a picture of visible text, or type when you cannot talk. Cultran translates each mode with the same tone and context.

Cultural context
- Get practical notes when wording might sound too direct, too casual, impolite, or easy to misunderstand.

Say it yourself
- Get easy to pronounce translations in your language so you can practice and say it yourself.

Say it differently
- Need another phrasing? Generate an alternate translation that keeps the same meaning and formality.

Conversation history
- Keep separate conversations for different trips, people, and language pairs.

### 5/5 — Useful actual translation

I was using google translate to chat with my taxi driver in Japan but he told me the translation didn’t make sense so I found this app and tried it out and we could have a good conversation, it’s pretty fast too.
