Translate without any internet connection. Camera, voice, and text — all processed on your iPhone, so nothing you translate ever leaves your device. Most translation apps go offline for text only. OffLingo keeps the camera and the two-way voice conversation working too, with no connection at all. WORKS FULLY OFFLINE Download your languages once, then translate with zero connectivity. Made for flights, subways, remote roads, foreign SIM-less days, and anywhere the network isn't. 49 LANGUAGES Not a shortlist. Download once and translate text across all 49 — in airplane mode, on the subway, on a SIM-less day. CAMERA TRANSLATION Point your camera at a menu, sign, or label and read it in your language, processed entirely on-device. Camera reading covers the major writing systems — Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic, Arabic, Thai, Hebrew and Vietnamese. Languages outside those scripts still translate by typing or pasting. VOICE CONVERSATIONS Have a two-way conversation across languages. Each side speaks, OffLingo translates and reads the reply aloud. (Requires iPhone with iOS 26.) SHARE FROM ANY APP Select text anywhere — a message, a web page, a document — tap Share, and read it in your language without leaving the app you're in. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS "Translate with OffLingo" works from Siri, Spotlight, and your own shortcuts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No cloud. No tracking. No ads. Your translations, camera images, and voice never touch a server. RECENT AND SAVED Recent translations stay in the app, free. Save the ones you'll need again into your travel phrasebook — ready even when you're offline. OffLingo Pro unlocks all 49 languages plus unlimited camera and voice translation. Subscribe by the week, month, or year. Or buy it once and keep it. — Subscription: OffLingo Pro is auto-renewable, available weekly, monthly, or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: OffLingo at free with in-app purchases against Tolki's paid. OffLingo also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
