iTranslate
An app that translates text, voice and menus, even offline.
What iTranslate does
iTranslate is a well-known translator with over half a million App Store ratings. It translates text in more than 100 languages, and Pro adds a camera lens for menus and signs, voice-to-voice conversations, and offline packs. The free version is basic, and Pro is priced per week, month or year.
The free version handles typed text and a dictionary. Most of what makes iTranslate useful on a trip lives in Pro: point the camera at a menu with Lens, hold a voice-to-voice conversation, or download language packs so it works without data.
Offline coverage is real but uneven. A 2026 review counts 41 languages for offline text and only five for offline voice, so check your language before you count on it abroad. It also has an AR mode that labels objects around you, which is more fun than essential.
The weekly price is the thing to watch. If you only need a translator for one trip, a week of Pro can make sense. For everyday use, free apps like Google Translate or Apple Translate cover a lot of the same ground.
