## What is Translate & Learn Languages?

Understand people, signs, and menus without depending on a connection. Pocket Lingo translates text, speech, photos, and two-way conversations on your iPhone or iPad using compatible models that run on your device.

SPEAK OR TYPE
Type, paste, or dictate a phrase. Send selected text from another app through Share, hear the result aloud, save useful translations, and organize them by topic.

CAMERA, PHOTOS, AND MENUS
Point the camera at a sign or menu, take a photo, or import one from your library. Pocket Lingo recognizes visible text and translates it on your device. The menu reader translates visible dish names and flags words related to dietary preferences or allergens. It cannot detect hidden ingredients, sauces, or shared equipment, so always confirm allergies with staff.

TWO-WAY CONVERSATIONS
Take turns speaking. The enhanced on-device model transcribes, translates, and reads each turn in the other person’s language.

CURATED TRAVEL PHRASES
Browse hand-checked phrases for 14 supported travel languages across greetings, restaurants, directions, hotels, and help with emergencies and health. Listen with word-by-word highlighting, use number and price cards, and practice with short travel drills.

SAVE AND RETURN
Saved phrases and translation history are searchable. Export a readable Markdown copy or JSON, use supported Siri shortcuts, and keep selected daily phrases close with widgets and reminders.

OFFLINE AFTER MODEL SETUP
Curated phrases and read-aloud do not need a translation model. New text, voice, camera, photo, menu, and conversation translation require a compatible on-device model. Pocket Lingo uses Apple Intelligence when available or offers an optional enhanced-model download on supported devices. The active model determines available languages; the enhanced model can translate from your chosen language into up to 21 other languages. Download the model you need before traveling.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No Studio AM account, cloud translation, or tracking is required. Translation performed inside Pocket Lingo stays on your device. If you decline a result and choose the optional web-search handoff, that query opens in an external service. An optional Face ID app lock can protect access on your device.

TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION
Eligible new subscribers can start a 3-day free trial, then continue with a monthly or yearly subscription. After the trial, creating new translations and using app features requires an active subscription.

YOUR SAVED DATA STAYS YOURS
If a subscription ends, translations and phrases saved earlier remain readable, searchable, exportable, and deletable. New content and app features remain locked until you resubscribe.

Requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later. Some features require camera, microphone, or speech-recognition permission and a compatible on-device model. AI translations can be wrong. Review important information, and never rely on menu flags alone for allergy safety.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-19

Adds an always-available emergency rescue kit, improves localized copy, and strengthens recovery reliability.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-13

Improves purchase and account-change reliability, data recovery, and accessibility. Adds fuller in-app localization in 10 languages.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-11

Pocket Lingo 1.2 introduces monthly and yearly Pro subscriptions with a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. The lifetime purchase is no longer offered; verified previous lifetime purchases remain available after Restore Purchases.

If a subscription ends, saved translations and phrases remain readable, searchable, exportable, and deletable. We also refined onboarding, purchase recovery, and voice-data disclosures.

### 1.1.5 — 2026-08-01

Now you can translate without leaving the app you're in. Select any text — a menu, a message, a web page — tap Share, and choose Pocket Lingo. It opens with the translation ready. You can also ask Siri to translate a phrase or open camera translate hands-free. It's the same private, on-device translation, now everywhere you read.

Plus Pro upgrade options in Settings and reliability improvements.

Also fixed: read-aloud could stay silent after you used voice input — it now speaks every time.
Also: if a call interrupts dictation, the recording now ends cleanly and keeps what you already said.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-07-22

A clearer first run: Pocket Lingo now walks you through the one-time translator setup — and starts the download in the background while you explore the phrasebook. A progress pill tracks it from anywhere, downloads wait for Wi-Fi when you ask, and untranslatable phrases can now be searched on the web in your browser. Plus small fixes, fully localized.
