Lingo Bubbles turns translation into understanding.
Instead of giving you one opaque sentence, Lingo Bubbles breaks every word into three layers — the original word, its pronunciation, and its meaning — displayed as interactive "bubbles" you can tap, hear, and explore. It's the difference between reading a translation and actually learning what each word means.
▸ THE TRIPLE BUBBLE
Every translated sentence is presented as a row of word-level bubbles. Each bubble shows three lines: the source word on top, its phonetic reading in the middle, and the translated meaning at the bottom. Tap any bubble to hear it spoken aloud. Long-press to see alternative translations. This is not just translation — it's real-time morphological analysis at your fingertips.
▸ FIVE LANGUAGES, ONE APP
Translate between Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and English in any combination. All 20 language pairs are supported with dedicated, curated dictionaries — not generic machine output.
▸ TRANSLATE ANY WEBPAGE
Paste a URL and see translations overlaid directly on the page. Browse news, articles, and blogs in your target language with word-by-word bubble annotations. No copy-pasting. No app-switching.
▸ VOICE TRANSLATION
A split-screen mode designed for real conversations. Hold one half to speak your language, hand the phone over for the other person to respond. Each side shows both the original speech and its translation in real time.
▸ TONE & POLITENESS ANALYSIS
Automatically detects whether Japanese text uses Keigo (敬語), casual speech, or literary tone. For Korean, it identifies speech levels like 하십시오체, 해요체, and 해체. A color-coded indicator helps you match the right register for any situation — essential for learners and professionals.
▸ WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE
Download language packs once and translate anywhere — on a plane, in a subway, or abroad without data. Your translations stay fast and private with no server round-trips.
▸ PRIVACY FIRST
No account required. No data leaves your device. Translations, saved folders, and vocabulary lists are stored locally. We don't collect your name, email, or location. Period.
▸ SAVE, ORGANIZE & EXPORT
Bookmark translations into folders. Export beautifully formatted PDF documents of your translations — perfect for study notes, travel prep, or sharing with classmates.
▸ THEMES & CUSTOMIZATION
Choose from six visual themes (Standard, Ocean, Sunset, Rose, Midnight, Minimalist). Adjust bubble spacing, font sizes, and pronunciation styles (Romaji, Katakana, IPA, and more).
