Fahan: Somali Translator
Voice Interpreter, 10 Language
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Speak your language, be understood in ten. Real-time voice translation built for Somali, Swahili, and Arabic speakers — and everyone they talk to.
Fahan is real-time voice translation built for the people mainstream translation apps forget.
Speak Somali. Speak Swahili. Speak Arabic. Speak English. Fahan translates naturally between all of them — so you can talk with your doctor, your child's teacher, your case worker, or your neighbor without hunting for the right word or handing your phone back and forth.
BUILT FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS
Fahan isn't another app that supports "150 languages" but stumbles on the ones your family actually speaks. Fahan was purpose-built with Somali speakers in mind — grammar, idioms, and cultural context that generic translators miss. And we bring that same care to every language we support.

- Kiswahili (Swahili)

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the two languages you're using in the conversation

3. Fahan translates and speaks back in the other language, in a natural voice
4. Everyone stays in the conversation

Ratings & Reviews
We spent this update on the things you feel every day: making Fahan fit every
phone, look the way it should, and stop doing the small annoying stuff.
WORKS BEAUTIFULLY ON SMALLER PHONES
If you're on a smaller or older iPhone, this is the big one. We went through
the app screen by screen and rebuilt the parts that didn't fit.
• The bar at the top of the translator now adjusts to your screen. Language
names stay complete, flags always show, and the settings button is no
longer cut off at the edge.
• The welcome screens scroll properly, so nothing gets trapped off-screen or
hidden behind the buttons at the bottom.
• Sign in and sign up sit centered and comfortable, whatever size your
screen is.
A CLEANER, WARMER LOOK
• Settings and Account have been redesigned
and more room to breathe.
• The final welcome screen is completely new: brighter, gently animated, and
much clearer about what Fahan can do for y
• The buttons and labels across the top of the translator now share one
consistent shape and size, so the whole sc
• Our Privacy Policy and Terms are finally readable: a plain-English summary
at the top, a menu to jump to any section, and a progress bar as you read.
FIXES
• Settings showed the wrong version number. It now shows the real one.
• Long language names no longer get cut shor
• Flags no longer appear at odd sizes or flicker as the screen changes.
• The Privacy Policy and Terms links are now easy to tap.
• We reread our Privacy Policy and Terms lining
that didn't match how the app actually works — including how your audio is
handled and how to delete your transcripts and account.
Thank you for using Fahan. Keep the feedback coming — it's shaping every
one of these updates.
