Description
Have you ever wondered what it's like to translate the work of a famous French poet? Do you burn to get your creative teeth into the intricacies of a Lithuanian rhyming couplet? Or are you just curious about how translation actually works?
Translatory is your way in, and you don’t need to know ANY languages to get the most out of it.
Expect regular updates with new poems to test your translation skills and introduce you to new languages, cultures and ideas.

What’s New
Version 1.4

Small tweaks: added a website link for Josep Lluís Aguiló’s book ‘Lunarium’, and an intro message for those who open the app for the first time and aren’t quite sure what to do next.
Ratings and Reviews
A Lovely Start!
What fun this is! I think all language lovers would enjoy playing around with this app, but I am both a writer and an aspiring translator, so hard to speak for all. It’s clear that it’s still new, some technical bugs like text boxes that don’t go away after their job is done, but I look forward to more developed versions, and I’ll continue to use it in the mean time, as well.
A Treat for Poetry People!
What a wonderful app for all, especially those of us who dream of speaking languages other than our own (but probably never will). The sense that language translates as beautifully & amorphous as its original poetic form becomes real to readers & writers through this marvelous little app. Share it with friends, especially in April, which is poetry month in US. Thank you for this delight!
Please update
This a great app for poetry lovers and those interested in learning a new language. Please add some poetry in Spanish.
