Created by Sonico GmbH, the easy-to-use language tool gives travellers the chance to translate a sentence, greeting or favourite quote into a different language on-demand and on-the-go – by selecting the current language, the desired language and then hitting the two arrows in the centre.

Providing travellers with up to 53 languages, the App offers translation into; Arabic, Yiddish, Vietnamese, Persian, Welsh, Hindi and Hungarian as well as more popular French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.

Why We Love It

It’s like having a foreign language dictionary always on-hand without the hassle of actually lugging it around or squinting your eyes as you flip through the pages in search of certain words.

The App is also great as it strings sentences together without looking up each individual word, keeps a history of all translations and provides you with a microphone to record a foreigner speaking and then translate without typing a single word.

Lost In Translation

Although the App does have the option to hear back certain translations – it doesn’t apply to all languages and should be considered for future versions as reading Vietnamese off a screen with no prior knowledge or accent annunciations can leave both you and the local scratching your head with confusion.

We Rate It

We give it an 8/10 – easy and fun to play around with but a sound option for all translations would definitely up the products appeal.
