Lingo translate

Lingo is a private translator that works in airplane mode. Menus, signs, documents, conversations — translated entirely on your iPhone. No upload. No tracking. No subscription trap.

Lingo runs on Apple's on-device Translation framework. Once a language pack is downloaded, every translation happens locally. Ferry tunnels, foreign SIMs, airplane mode, sketchy hotel Wi-Fi — Lingo just works because there is no server to call.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Type or paste — translate text instantly between 20+ language pairs.
• Snap a menu, a sign, or a contract — Lingo's OCR reads it, translates it, and overlays the translation right on the photo.
• Conversation mode — two people, two languages. Big captions, mic per side, ducked TTS so your music doesn't blast.
• PDF & Markdown documents — drop one in, get a side-by-side translated PDF with page numbers preserved.
• Travel phrasebook — restaurant, transport, emergency, hotel, shopping. Tap to hear the translation. Bundled, works offline.
• Apple Watch — speak a phrase from your wrist, hear it back in any of the supported languages.
• Widget — pin your most-recent translation to your home screen, or tap to translate from the clipboard.
• Safari extension — one tap translates the page you're reading. On-device.
• Siri Shortcuts — "Translate ... into Japanese with Lingo" works hands-free.
• Spotlight — your saved phrases appear in Spotlight search.

PRIVACY YOU CAN AUDIT

Lingo does not have a backend. There is no Lingo server. We can't see your translations because there's nothing to see — the binary contains no analytics SDK, no crash SDK, no tracking SDK. Anything you type, photograph, dictate, or drop in is processed on this device and discarded.

Translation history and favorites stay on this device unless you turn on iCloud sync (opt-in). When you do, they're stored in your own private iCloud database, encrypted by Apple — not in our infrastructure.

FREE, THEN PAY ONCE

Lingo's free tier is built for real travel, not a teaser: 50 text translations a day, unlimited photo/OCR translation, the 10 most-popular language packs offline, the bundled travel phrasebook, and a daily taste of conversation mode.

When you want more, you unlock it once:

• Lingo Lifetime ($9.99, one-time) — unlimited translations, every language pack, PDF & document translation, the Safari Web Extension, custom phrasebooks with Family Sharing, iCloud history sync, Apple Watch, Widget and all themes. Yours forever.

No subscription. No auto-renew. No trial countdown. No ads. One payment, on every Apple device you own. Tap Restore Purchase to bring it to a new device.

WHY PAY ONCE

The category leaders charge up to $99 a year, forever. We don't think translating "where is the bathroom" should be a recurring revenue line. Pay $9.99 one time and you're done — about what a year of the others costs every single year.

LINGO IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATION SERVICE

Translation quality is Apple's. For binding contracts, medical documents, or legal correspondence please consult a certified human translator. Lingo is for everyday use — menus, signs, friendly conversation, comprehension of foreign-language documents.
