Here is finally a modern translation app that has been specially designed for all seafarers: sailors, navigators, crews, boaters, surfers, divers, fishermen, young people aspiring to a maritime career, etc. The application offers definitions, providing precise and concise explanations for numerous nautical terms. This feature, powered by specialized artificial intelligence, offers clear definitions tailored to the marine field. This invaluable tool, which every seafarer should own, brings together more than 20,000 words from the French maritime vocabulary—and an equal number of corresponding terms from the English maritime lexicon—within a highly practical app that covers everything related to the sea. The language of the sea is a unique language, crafted by sailors to communicate effectively during their maneuvers and operations. And the common language has already borrowed many terms from it. The increasing commercial ties between France, Great Britain, and the United States have led us to place, alongside the terms of the French maritime vocabulary, the corresponding terms from the English and American maritime lexicons, and vice versa. This is a reference app that should never leave your boat and is accessible offline. The app offers a subscription access to enjoy updates to the translation database.
