Instant message translation in iMessage!
Add our plugin to iMessage and chat with your friends all over the world! You can enter outgoing messages from the keyboard, or simply speak out loud - the program will instantly recognize and translate your words.
Knowledge of languages is undoubtedly the most useful skill. It is clear that it is impossible to learn them all, and it is not always possible to find an interpreter at hand. But in order to clearly communicate with a foreigner, the services of special translation programs are quite enough. What applications of a similar plan are available for the iPhone?
Dictionary
Has the most powerful functionality Dictionary Lingvo, from the famous developer ABBYY. You can download it from the itunes store, and it's completely free. The basic version contains about 11 dictionaries for seven languages, and even it will be quite enough for communication while traveling (there is a corresponding subsection - Travel Set). You can quickly look up interpretations, translate and create flashcards for new words to memorize. The range of possibilities is impressive. The service works autonomously - there is no need for a permanent connection to the Internet.
If you want to integrate previously purchased ABBYY dictionaries into it, or purchase additional language packs, you can find a suitable option on the developer's website - abbyy.ru. Offers start from $4, you will agree, much cheaper than any courses.
The most useful function is also available - photo translation, i.e. it is enough to take a picture of an incomprehensible passage or word on the iPhone camera, and the program will give its interpretation.
One of the most popular offers is from the developer Sonico GmbH.
The resource allows you to translate not only individual words, but also expressions or entire texts. Agree, sometimes a certain phrase has a completely different meaning than decomposed and translated into words. Supports translation from/into over 90 languages.
Asian hieroglyphs, incomprehensible to a European, can be transformed into the familiar Latin alphabet to facilitate the assimilation of the material. In addition, the voice assistant will tell you how to pronounce them correctly. In the course of typing, suitable hint words automatically pop up to eliminate any errors.
The premium version of the program has speech input - say the question of interest and iTranslate will recognize, translate and create a ready-made text on the screen that can be shown to a foreign interlocutor. Very comfortably!
By the way, this application will work successfully on the "apple" watch. Available for download from a secure source -apple.com
The same developer also introduces a useful separate service - iTranslate Voice Lite, also distributed for free through itunes. The program supports full voice control, it is enough to pronounce any text in more than forty languages - Voice Lite will recognize and instantly give out the translation. There is no need to "drive" words into the menu, the application is very sensitive, and captures exactly what is said.
But there is an important point - in order for the service to work - you need to have access to the Internet.
Another worthy resource is a translator for iPhone from Google. It also boasts support for about 90 languages and their dialects (subject to text input). In addition, recognition and auto-translation from the user's speech into 40 languages is available. You can also film an excerpt in one of the 26 languages offered and instantly get a detailed translation.
Not only printed words are read, but also those written on the screen in cursive (this is especially convenient for the transmission of hieroglyphs), the program successfully identifies them. 
A simple and understandable menu, many free dictionaries, fast work and voice translation - what else do you need? You can download, again, from itunes.apple.com. Distributed for free.
PROMT Offline
Of the paid applications, the translator from the company deserves attention PROMT. Based on the name, the application works with its own resources without an Internet connection, i. completely autonomous. In places remote from civilization, or in places with poor coverage, you will not be left alone with foreigners who speak a language you do not understand. True, to activate an instant transfer, access to the network will be required.
For ease of navigation, all the functionality of the translator is divided into the most popular subsections. When switching to one of them, the corresponding vocabulary is activated, and the data exchange with the user is much faster.
Offline supports voice "input" and "output" of text. All phrases played by the application are voiced by native speakers, so you will initially form the correct pronunciation without an accent. 
At the same time, the resource does not take up much space in the memory of your iPhone - 98.8 MB of installation + the capacity of the selected dictionary.
The application is available in the App Store at the link: https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/perevodcik-promt-offline-perevod/id806077158?mt=8. For 349 rubles you get a pre-installed English-Russian package. Other popular ones: Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and French can be purchased as needed, for a modest 2-3 dollars.
LangBook
Another interesting paid app is LangBook. This translator, like its predecessor, supports off-line mode, providing the user with complete autonomy when moving around the world. Translation available from/into 53 languages.
This is a kind of language tutorial, there is a separate section with grammar and listening. An intelligent phrasebook, with a selection of popular topics, will help you adequately get out of any difficult situation related to communication in another country. 
Do you remember the times when decent dictionaries and translators for iOS cost good money, and there was simply no decent free replacement for them? With the release of applications from leading search engines, the situation has changed radically and there are now a lot of them in the App Store. Today we will look at the 5 best services that help not only to translate an unfamiliar word or sentence, but also to easily communicate with residents of other countries while traveling.
ABBYY Lingvo Dictionaries
The most powerful database of ABBYY Lingvo dictionaries offers high-quality and accurate translation both online and offline. The basic set of languages here is free, but if you need something more than a regular translator, you will have to shell out a lot of money. The pluses include a good search - by entering a keyword, you will see not only its translation, but also additional use cases in most phrases.
The dictionary also implements translation by photo, but it is very inconvenient - one word at a time. To translate the whole text, the developers have provided a separate application for which you will have to pay.
Another feature is cards - phrases or words that you want to learn can be added to a separate menu. In the settings, you can enter translation, part of speech, and even transcription.
Yandex. translate
iPhone + iPad + Watch | 21 MB | free | DOWNLOAD in the App Store
Like Google, Yandex promotes its services in all areas. The translator differs from the well-known search engine in simplicity and good functionality - here is offline translation, and text recognition in images, and voice input. Plus, it's completely free.
From my own experience, I can say with confidence that simultaneous translation works perfectly even with a slow Internet connection. Volumetric texts from photos are translated with a probability of 50%, sometimes the translator refuses to recognize the text at all.
There is also an interesting feature that allows you to quickly delete the written text - just swipe to the left and the input field will be cleared.
iPhone + iPad + Watch | 48.2 MB | free | DOWNLOAD in the App Store
The application is interesting for some of the features missing from competitors - a keyboard-translator and a widget in the notification center. Otherwise, iTranslate is a very simple and understandable translation tool, able to voice entire phrases and save favorites in a separate menu. For most languages, voice translation settings are available - you can choose the accent, reading speed, and even the gender of the robot that reads your phrases.
Probably the most versatile and convenient translator in the App Store. Google offers all of the above for free, packaged in a nice and user-friendly interface. Translation of text from a photo works well, failures are rare. There is even quite tolerable handwriting. I don’t know for whom it was made, but the fact of its existence is already pleasing.
Conveniently made the history of translations, which is displayed immediately below the input field - no need to look for recently translated words in separate windows. The only drawback of Google Translate is that it cannot work offline.
Microsoft Translator
Translator from Microsoft is still quite young and "green" - the application appeared in the App Store less than six months ago, but has already managed to win its niche. The developers are focusing on simultaneous translation, adding the ability to freely communicate with people whose language you do not know. One has only to open the application on a smartphone and Apple Watch, turn on the instant translation function and give the phone to the interlocutor - the program will show the translated text on the watch and smartphone synchronously. True, this does not work very correctly yet, and there are very few languages \u200b\u200bavailable - there is no need to talk about Russian or Ukrainian at all.
Today, we can safely say that the best applications for mobile gadgets, including iPad and iPhone, are those that can fully function with the Internet turned off. That is why many developers are actively involved in the creation of such software, and dictionaries are no exception. Offline iOS Translator is more convenient than a similar application that requires a constant connection to the Web, because it allows you to use its functionality anywhere and anytime. Such programs are especially useful for tourists who do not always have the opportunity to connect to the local Internet network.
Today, there are a fairly large number of offline translators for iOS, so choosing the most suitable one is often difficult. Therefore, before choosing the required application, it is better to familiarize yourself with the list of the most popular programs among users.
Choosing a translator for iOS without the Internet
Language book. This offline translator for iOS is one of the most popular thematic software among owners of mobile devices from Apple. Although it is distributed on a paid basis and is quite expensive, the money paid for its purchase is fully justified. Immediately after activating the license, the program offers to install large offline dictionaries that make the user completely independent of the Internet. The list of suggested dictionaries includes English, Chinese, French, German, Russian, Spanish and other languages.
All dictionaries available in the translator are worked out in detail and surprise with their detail. Here you can see not only all the meanings of the word, but also its transcription. In addition, a small course on the surface study of foreign languages is built into the program, as well as a phrase book, which contains the most frequently used phrases in various places: in shops, banks, hotels, and so on. LangBook has an online version that functions through the Google Translate service.
Lingvo Dictionaries. The Lingvo translator, released by the domestic company ABBYY iOS, is distinguished by the presence of a huge number of different thematic dictionaries that can be downloaded immediately after activating the licensed version of the program. The list of add-ons of the application offers dictionaries on topics such as economics, law, mathematics, general science, cooking, medicine, and so on.
Also, this translator for apple mobile devices has the function of translating text from photographs. The program is able to independently recognize the text placed on the image and translate it. As for the set of languages, there are a lot of them in Lingvo, but translation into Russian is offered only from German, Spanish, English and French. The application is optimal as a photo translator for iOS.
Yandex.Translation. Although this application is inferior to its main competitor, Google Translate, in many respects, it has one indisputable advantage, namely, it allows users to download and save offline dictionaries. Moreover, the application is absolutely free.
Among other positive qualities of Yandex.Translation, one can note the presence of transcriptions for words and examples of their application. The translator could be called the best for Russian-speaking users, but the lack of voice translation and text recognition from the image makes it difficult to do this.
English-Russian dictionary. Another popular translator for iOS among users of apple devices that supports offline work. The program has a large set of words and provides an opportunity to learn words. It is distributed free of charge, and ads that slightly interfere with the use of its functions can be removed for only $ 1.
You can translate text online (without the Internet) on iPhone using free applications available for download in the AppStore.
Traveling and soaking up the energy of yet unexplored countries is almost impossible without communicating with the locals - this way you won’t be able to understand the culture, feel the emotions of those who have never seen the harsh Russian winter and still believe in bears wandering through the frozen streets of Siberian cities.
And sometimes, without knowing the language, you can’t buy a token in the subway and order sparkling wine in a restaurant. There are two ways to solve the problem of communication - immediately pounce on English courses and believe that the international language is familiar to everyone in Europe and China, or download an offline translator on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and instantly turn into someone who can put together sentences on the fly without any effort.
Google translate
An advanced, multifunctional and truly technologically advanced iPhone tool capable of any feat of translation and finding the right words. Developers from Google offer to understand handwritten sentences and words drawn on signs and stops, help you understand pronunciation and foreign speech, and at the same time remind you how basic language structures are built, with which it is easy to order a coffee or a taxi.
Yes, not all of the listed functions are available without access to the network (or, to be more precise, such a function is not attached to all languages!), But even the initial capabilities are already enough for understanding. However, the main advantage of Google is not even in the number of translations, not in a special training section where every beginner will find answers to emerging questions, but in omnivorousness.
At the moment, the database contains 59 languages available without the Internet. It is not possible to find at least something similar in scale to the application. Neither iPhone nor Android with Windows.
If you already have a desire to get out of the country and understand other people's lives, then Google must be not only on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but also at a low start, like a cowboy's revolver crossing a gloomy saloon, where it is not known who to expect a dirty trick from.
Translate.Ru
Developers from PROMT are back on horseback. Previous errors related to the strange translation, which were encountered 5-7 years ago, have been eliminated. The interface, which suffered from a bunch of extra buttons, has now been brought to perfection. And the number of supported without access to the Internet has grown to 16.
Yes, compared to Google, the figure is small, but there are free phrasebooks with frequently used phrases and sentences, and a special learning platform that can even teach those who skipped classes at school or never connected with the chosen language even during an airplane flight basically.
Working with Translate.ru is easy - you can enter or speak text, and then receive a response with the ability to select an additional translation for some words.
Yandex translate
An app is a service on the iPhone that has not yet reached final development, but is diligently moving along the beaten paths that Google has prudently laid out. Yes, offline language support is still weak, recording information by voice is far from the first time, and the built-in translation from the camera only works at all in ideal lighting from a certain angle, it’s worth taking a closer look at Yandex now. And the main reason for this is the developers.
No one will leave a domestic translator without support for longer than a couple of weeks. Therefore, you can expect updates, unexpected innovations and technical corrections.
