Tolkvia: Common Ground

Tolkvia translates what you type, say or photograph between 59 languages, and keeps working when you are offline. Download a language pack once (about 40 MB) and translation runs directly on your phone — nothing you translate offline ever leaves the device. You can start without an account: sign-in with Google or Apple is only needed for a subscription.

It is built for travel. Conversation mode lets two people talk face to face, each in their own language, and hands-free mode passes the microphone back and forth for you. Point the camera at a menu, sign or document and text in Latin letters, Chinese, Japanese and Korean is read on the device. A travel kit prepares a destination’s language in one tap for 26 popular countries, a full-screen mode shows the translation to the person in front of you, and a meaning check translates the result back so you know it says what you meant. The free plan includes 25 translations a day, one offline language, three photo scans and five conversation turns; Tolkvia Pro removes the limits and adds every offline language and premium online translation. No ads, no tracking.
