"Moji" comes from the Japanese word "moji" (文字), meaning "text" — so MojiTranslate means "translate text." We believe every piece of Japanese you encounter on your trip shouldn't just be translated — it should be understood.
MojiTranslate is built for travel in Japan, combining OCR text recognition, AI translation, and a teaching mode to help you instantly understand menus, signs, and product labels. Every translation becomes a mini Japanese lesson.
【Photo Scan Translation】
Snap a photo of a Japanese menu, sign, or product label, then freely select the area you want translated. Supports multiple accumulated scans. Pinch to zoom for precise selection of small text.
【Photo Library Translation】
Pick a screenshot or photo from your library and run it through the same OCR selection flow — translate saved images anytime.
【Conversation Translation】
Type in your language and instantly generate a Japanese translation — perfect for ordering at restaurants, bargaining while shopping, or asking for directions.
【Share Sheet Translation】
No need to open the app! Screenshot anything and send it straight to MojiTranslate via the Share Sheet — select the text, copy the prompt, and launch AI translation in one tap. Supports accumulating text across multiple screenshots.
【Three Translation Modes】
• Instant Translation: Uses Apple's built-in translation — fast results even offline, with a furigana toggle to show hiragana readings above the original Japanese text
• AI Translation: One-tap copy the prompt to your AI app for a more accurate translation
• AI Teaching Mode: Word-by-word breakdowns, grammar explanations, context notes, and extended learning — turning every translation into a Japanese lesson
【Works with 3 Leading AI Tools】
Choose Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — the prompt is copied automatically and the matching app opens for you. Prompts are fully editable, so you can build a translation workflow that fits your needs.
【Japanese-Inspired Design】
7 beautifully designed color themes — Khaki Earth, Japan Orange, Morandi Blue, Matcha Green, Sakura Pink, Wisteria Purple, and Ink Black. Translation can look great too.
【Custom Prompts】
All 4 built-in prompt templates are fully editable — whether you're a beginner or advanced learner, build the translation experience that works best for you.
Great for: ordering at restaurants, shopping at convenience stores, asking for directions at train stations, sightseeing, and reading drugstore product labels.
