## What is Tolki?

19 LANGUAGES. OFFLINE. PRIVATE.

Tolki translates conversations, text, and camera scans directly on your iPhone. It supports 19 regular languages plus an additional Catalan fallback via Spanish. No conversation cloud, no account, and no subscription. Internet is only needed once to download language packs and optional voices. After that, Tolki works offline – while traveling, on a plane, or anywhere without a signal.

ENGLISH PLUS YOUR HOME LANGUAGE ARE FREE

Start permanently free with English and your home language. Unlock additional languages individually or as a complete package. Every purchase works across all Tolki modes.

SEVEN MODES. ONE APP.

• Manual: You decide exactly when Tolki listens and translates.

• Table Mode: Place the iPhone between you. Tolki recognizes both sides of the conversation and translates them in turn.

• Listen Mode: Follow conversations, tours, and presentations with live subtitles. Hear translations privately with AirPods or compatible hearing aids.

• Camera: Translate menus, signs, labels, packaging, and documents. The photo's language is detected automatically, the translation appears right away – and with zoom, Tolki translates exactly the part you need. The image stays on your device.

• Text Input: Type, paste, or share text from another app.

• Learn: Prepare for trips with phrase packs, save useful sentences, and practice pronunciation with feedback.

• Chat: Connect two iPhones locally. Each person speaks into their own device and reads the conversation in their own language.

YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU

Speech, text, camera content, favorites, and learning data are processed and stored locally. Tolki requires no user account and sends no conversations to a Tolki server.

19 TRANSLATION LANGUAGES

German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Vietnamese, Hindi, Danish, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian Bokmål, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Chinese.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-15

Big camera update – and Tolki now understands Catalan:

• The camera shows the translation right away. Tap the card to see the original.
• The photo's language is detected automatically – you only pick your target language.
• Zoom into the photo and Tolki translates exactly the part you see.
• New: Catalan – as an on-device fallback via Spanish, included with the Spanish package.
• Much better translations of signs and menus.
• Fresh installs now start in the light design with faster response.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-15

New in Tolki 1.3.0:

• Tolki now has a free base version: English and your home language are included.
• Permanently unlock another language for €0.99, or all 19 languages at the €5.99 introductory price. No subscription.
• New local offline fallback for Danish, Norwegian Bokmål and Swedish, even without Apple Intelligence.
• Norwegian no longer requests an unnecessary Apple language pack.
• Improved Table Mode reliability and resumable model downloads.
• Existing paid customers automatically keep complete access.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-06-07

Tolki now fully speaks your language – and helps you learn a new one:

• Fully localized: The entire app interface is now available in all 19 languages.
• Expanded Learn mode: Practice numbers (1–10) and weekdays, right inside your trip packs.
• Fairer pronunciation trainer: Skip a card after three tries, numbers are recognized correctly (spoken or typed), and the endless-loop issue is fixed.
• Replay in Manual mode: A new speaker button lets you hear any translation again.
• Table mode: Both sides now see live recognition, and longer text scrolls.
• More reliable after install: Translation starts up more smoothly after a fresh install – while iOS sets up Apple Intelligence, Tolki shows a clear notice instead of failing silently.
• More stable speech recognition, faster voice preparation, and many small improvements.

Enjoy translating and learning!

### 1.2.5 — 2026-05-07

Important stability and bug fixes:
• Fixed: Onboarding no longer gets stuck on voice installation. If a voice can't finish downloading, you can now continue with the Apple voice or retry the download.
• Fixed: App no longer crashes when Tolki is launched offline for the very first time. On first launch, a one-time internet connection is requested — after that, everything works permanently offline.
• Fixed: "Language pack required" message for Swedish and Danish no longer appears — these languages work without a separate Apple language pack.
• Fixed: Crash when starting a translation while a voice was still downloading.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-05-06

Important fixes for fresh Tolki installations:
• Fixed: Translation now works from the first tap, even on a brand-new install of Tolki.
• Fixed: Swedish can be set up directly during onboarding — no more hang at the language-pack dialog.
• Improved: Table Mode now reliably detects pauses in noisy environments (fans, air conditioning).
• Improved: Microphone stops immediately when the app moves to the background.
