WHO IT HELPS
• Travellers — a menu, a timetable or a pharmacy label you can't read, and roaming that costs money. Scan it and read it in your language, offline if you need to.
• Newcomers to a country — letters, forms and signs in a language you are still learning. Read them, and follow what is said at the doctor's, the school or the council office.
• Volunteers, carers and front-desk staff — someone in front of you who doesn't share your language. Talk face to face, each in your own.
• Anyone with a trip ahead — no idea whether there will be signal where you're going. Download your languages before you leave and use it as an offline translator.
THE FEATURES IN BRIEF
SCAN — A camera translator for menus, signs and labels: point the camera and tap the text to translate it. Every scan is saved, so you can find it again later.
LIVE CONVERSATIONS — Put the phone on the table and read what the other person says in your language, a moment after they say it. Nothing is recorded.
SPEECH — A voice translator for both of you: say a phrase and hear it spoken in their language, and they can reply the same way.
TEXT — Type a phrase and show your screen to the person you're talking to.
58 LANGUAGES — Translate between any two of the 58. sofilingo.com/languages shows what works in each one.
APP LANGUAGES — SofiLingo itself is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). It opens in your phone's language.
OFFLINE — Download languages over wifi and SofiLingo is an offline translator: typed translation works with no signal in all 58. The camera reads 25 languages offline, and keeps the photo to translate later in the others.
NO ACCOUNT — There is nothing to sign up for. Your translations and scans stay on your phone.
PRICING
Your first 15 translations are free. Watch a short video for 15 more, or buy the Holiday pass: 14 days, no ads, one payment that never renews. There is no subscription.
PRIVACY
• No account, sign-up or email address — we never ask who you are.
• Your typed text, translations and scans stay on your phone. We don't collect, read or sell them.
• A photo leaves your phone only to read a language it can't read itself, and only when you're online.
• The free version shows ads; the Holiday pass removes them.
