## What is LocalTranslate?

LocalTranslate translates using only an AI model that runs on your device (Qwen3.5, MLX). No internet connection needed — the text, voice, and photos you translate are never sent anywhere.
Typed-text translation is free forever.

WHEN IT HELPS
- Traveling abroad with no signal, in airplane mode, or on unreliable hotel Wi-Fi
- Following a meeting or talk without the translation cutting off mid-speech
- Translating confidential documents and emails without sending them to the cloud

FEATURES
- Translate typed text, speech, and camera or photo text
- Live translation: keeps listening until you tap stop, translating each sentence as you speak
- Cleans up fillers ("um", "uh") in speech before translating
- Read translations aloud, copy them, or stop a translation midway
- Back-translation to check quality at a glance, plus translation history

TRANSLATION LANGUAGES
Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Spanish, Italian

PRICING & CANCELLATION
- Typed-text translation is free with no usage limits.
- Voice input, live translation, camera translation, and read-aloud are part of a monthly Premium subscription with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers (price shown in the App Store and on the purchase screen).
- Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you won't be charged. Cancel anytime from the app's Settings screen or in iPhone Settings > your name > Subscriptions.

PRIVACY
All translation happens on your device. No ads, no data collection, no third-party SDKs.
Note: a one-time download of the AI model (about 1.8 GB) is required on first launch. Wi-Fi is recommended.

The app's interface is available in 10 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Arabic.
