The expressions given in each language are not literal translations from another language; they are the expressions that would normally be used in particular situations that people find themselves in when travelling. The translators, all of whom are professionals, have not always chosen the grammatically closest translation, because that would not necessarily be the one used most often when you’re there!
Here’s a very simple example: in French, the phrase ‘s’il-vous-plaît’ ("please") is often used when making a request, but it’s quite different in Finnish and in most of the Asian languages.

Translating is essentially a question of personal choice: if you feel that another translation would be more appropriate than the one suggested by this app, please write to us directly using contact form here, or better still via the contact page on our website www.loecsen.com.

We make every effort to ensure that the content we provide is as authoritative as possible.

Ratings and reviews

I think its a good start, especially since there are not many apps out there to learn Finnish, but it could be more interactive with different ways to identify words, quiz yourself, goals and rewards, etc. there needs to be more varieties of ways to learn and practice and definitely needs a lot more words and phrases. its useful for what I need right now though.

I have found this app very useful when travelling to various places and needing a few phrases in order to do the basics (use transport, order food and drink etc.). There are some languages where the syntax isn't always apparent, as there is no grammatical explanation behind the phrases and it would also be useful if, in the travel section, "Sun City" was replaced with a more appropriate destination; the audio download is very useful as it means the app can be used when data is unavailable.

Wow, impressive! Your translation services are top-notch, breaking language barriers with ease and accuracy. Keep up the fantastic work!.
