About iTranslate

iTranslate is a translation app aimed at a mix of travelers, students, office workers, employers and healthcare staff who need to read, write and speak in other languages. It covers more than 100 languages and is used mainly on phones.

The app offers text translation with autocomplete and alternative translations, voice translation that recognizes speech and translates it, camera translation for menus, cards and signs, and offline translation for popular languages so users can avoid roaming costs. A keyboard extension brings translations directly into messaging apps.
