LocalTranslate: Offline AI
Private On-Device Translator
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
LocalTranslate translates using only an AI model that runs on your device (Qwen3.5, MLX). No internet connection needed — the text, voice, and photos you translate are never sent anywhere.
Typed-text translation is free forever.
WHEN IT HELPS
- Traveling abroad with no signal, in airplane mode, or on unreliable hotel Wi-Fi
- Following a meeting or talk without the translation cutting off mid-speech
- Translating confidential documents and emails without sending them to the cloud
FEATURES
- Translate typed text, speech, and camera or photo text
- Live translation: keeps listening until you tap stop, translating each sentence as you speak
- Cleans up fillers ("um", "uh") in speech before translating
- Read translations aloud, copy them, or stop a translation midway
- Back-translation to check quality at a glance, plus translation history
TRANSLATION LANGUAGES
Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Spanish, Italian
PRICING & CANCELLATION

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Improved accuracy for amounts and numbers: figures are checked against the original and retranslated or flagged if they differ. Swapping languages now swaps the texts too. Added a clear button, copy confirmation and other usability improvements.
