iPhone
Lingora is your all-in-one offline companion for living, working, and traveling in mainland China. Built entirely on native iOS frameworks, it translates, recognizes speech, and reads text from photos — all on your device, even without internet.
WHY LINGORA?
Unlike cloud-based translators that fail without a connection, Lingora works offline after you download your language pack. Your conversations, photos, and translations never leave your iPhone. No account required. No data sent to external servers.
KEY FEATURES

Bidirectional Chinese ↔ your native language. Supports English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic. Full translation history at your fingertips.

▸ Voice Dialogue
Face-to-face bilingual conversation. Speak naturally, get instant translation and text-to-speech playback. Perfect for talking with taxi drivers, shopkeepers, and colleagues.

One-tap phrases with Chinese audio for everyday situations:
• Taxi — destinations, AC, payment, receipts

Set your allergies (peanuts, seafood, gluten, dairy, soy) and get warned automatically when scanning restaurant menus.
▸ Clipboard Quick Translate
Copy Chinese text or screenshots from other apps — Lingora detects it and offers instant translation.
PRIVACY FIRST

WHO IS IT FOR?
• Expats settling into life in China
• Business travelers meeting local partners
• Tourists exploring cities without roaming data
• Students and professionals who need reliable offline Chinese help
