What's New in Shangri Lingua

2.2.0

November 6, 2026

A big update. Shangri Lingua now opens on Translate, so what you read becomes what you study. • Translate: Type, paste, speak, or point the camera at Chinese or Thai, then tap any word to look it up. • Save words: Tap Save on any word. Saved words are highlighted wherever they come up again, and you can review them as flashcards. • Write Chinese: Practice writing the characters in your saved words. You meet each character's parts first, trace it three times following the stroke order, then write it from memory. • Write Thai: Practice spelling your saved Thai words a letter at a time. • Thai dictionary: Look up Thai by script, romanization or English, with no connection needed. • History: Everything you translate is kept, so you can come back to it.

A Game-Changer for Chinese Language Learners!

This app has been an absolute revelation in my Chinese language learning journey. As someone who's always struggled with vocabulary retention, I can't express how valuable this tool has been.

The app's core feature - allowing you to learn new Chinese words and keep a personalized list for review - is brilliantly executed. It's intuitive, user-friendly, and most importantly, effective. I've seen a significant improvement in my vocabulary since I started using it.
