## What is Jamslate?

Read Chinese on your iPhone without leaving the app you're in.

Hold the Action button in any Chinese app (food delivery, shopping, maps, chats) and Jamslate shows you the same screen in English, right where the Chinese was. Close it and you're back exactly where you were.

Swipe for more:
• English: the screen with the Chinese replaced by English. Prices and numbers stay exactly as they were.
• Pinyin: pinyin with tone marks above every character, coloured by tone, so you can read it out loud.
• Words: every word on the screen with its pinyin and dictionary meanings.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
Text recognition, Apple's translation and the built-in Chinese–English dictionary (CC-CEDICT) all run on your iPhone. No account, no internet needed after a one-time language download, and nothing you translate leaves your phone.

SET UP IN TWO MINUTES
The app walks you through it: download Chinese → English, add the Translate Screen shortcut, and put it on the Action button.

Requires iOS 26 and an iPhone with an Action button (iPhone 15 Pro or newer).
