Expats and residents in Levantine countries, particularly expats living in Lebanon, face challenges with existing translation apps because they only support Standard Arabic. This creates a communication barrier and can lead to misunderstandings in day-to-day interactions. The app is designed to enable seamless bidirectional translation between English and Lebanese Arabic or other Levantine dialects.
