iTranslate

iTranslate is a translation app for people who need to read, write, or speak across languages, with tools suited especially to travelers and mobile users. Its broad mix of text, voice, camera, and offline functions is useful, but the free plan is text-only and the price of Pro is custom.

Overview

iTranslate supports 100 languages and is designed for travelers, students, business professionals, employers, and medical staff. Text, speech, and camera input cover different translation tasks, while saved phrases and translation history can help with recurring needs. The range makes it a flexible general-purpose option; its strongest mobile features, though, require Pro.

The Free plan costs nothing and includes text translation. Pro adds the keyboard extension, custom phrases, voice mode, offline mode, and camera translation. That division is straightforward, but people who need the richer feature set must weigh it against a subscription whose price is custom.

Key features

Text, voice, and camera

Text translation offers autocomplete and alternative translations in more than 100 languages, giving users choices when a first rendering does not suit the context. Voice mode recognizes spoken input and translates it into a selected language, while the camera can translate menus, cards, signs, and other text. Together, these tools are a strong fit for travel and quick exchanges, although voice and camera translation are reserved for Pro.

Offline translation and mobile tools

Offline translation works in many popular languages after users download language packs. That can help when connectivity is unavailable, but it takes preparation, and offline voice translation is available in four languages. Travelers who rely on spoken exchanges should make sure those languages cover their needs before choosing Pro.

The keyboard extension translates inside messaging apps, and a share extension can translate selected text from any app. Siri Shortcuts offers another route into translation. These integrations make iTranslate more convenient for mobile workflows than a tool that requires users to copy text into a separate app.

Reference and saved content

Voice output, translation history, favorites, verb conjugations, transliteration, a phrasebook, and alternative translations round out the app. These are practical aids for revisiting useful language or checking forms, rather than a substitute for the core translation modes. iTranslate also says its products are designed to keep customer data safe and describes privacy as a core value; its support center offers FAQs and a request form.

Pricing

Free is the sensible starting point for people who mainly translate typed text. It gives up the modes that matter most when traveling with signs, menus, spoken exchanges, or poor connectivity. Pro is the better fit for those needs, but its custom pricing makes it hard to judge the cost against alternatives before selecting a subscription.

A 7-day trial is offered, though trial availability and length can vary by subscription. Cancellation must happen before the trial ends to avoid payment. Monthly plans have a 20-day refund request window and yearly plans a 60-day window, with exceptions including App Store purchases. Anyone starting a trial should check its terms and cancellation date.

Platforms

iTranslate is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and as an extension. Its keyboard and share extensions are particularly relevant to people who translate while messaging or working in other apps. The range spans phones and computers, while its listed feature set emphasizes mobile camera use and extensions.

Who it's for

iTranslate suits travelers who want text, speech, camera, and offline translation in one service, especially if their language needs fit its four-language offline voice support. Students and professionals may value autocomplete, alternative translations, conjugations, and transliteration for everyday language work. Messaging users can benefit from the keyboard extension and cross-app sharing.

It is a weaker fit for someone who only needs occasional text translation and expects every core mode to be free, or for a buyer who needs a known subscription price before committing. Offline voice users should also confirm that their languages are covered.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Text, voice, and camera input cover several common translation situations across 100 languages.
• Pros: Downloadable language packs support offline translation in many popular languages, and keyboard and share extensions bring translation into other apps.
• Pros: History, favorites, phrasebook, and language reference tools support repeat use beyond one-off translations.
• Cons: The free plan includes text translation only, so voice, offline, and camera tools require Pro.
• Cons: Offline voice translation covers four languages, which may limit its usefulness on trips involving other languages.
• Cons: Pro has custom pricing, and trial terms vary by subscription; buyers need to review the terms before starting.

Alternatives

Papago is worth comparing for users who want a free plan alongside monthly allowances for image, document, and voice translation; its free plan is also freemium and it offers a trial.

Lara Translate is a better fit for a reader who wants a stated free allowance for 60,000 characters per month, with one user and document-size limits, rather than iTranslate's text-only free plan.

Google Translate suits someone seeking a free option that includes document translation, with a 10 MB limit and PDFs up to 300 pages.

Yandex Translate is an option for personal, noncommercial text and web page translation at no cost.

Google Cloud Translation fits API-focused use, with a free monthly allowance of 500,000 characters and a paid text plan priced at $20 a month.

Argos Translate is worth considering for users who want a free, offline translation library for Python, command-line, or GUI use.

DeepL Translator is an alternative for users who want a free plan with a monthly character allowance and limited file translation.

LibreTranslate is another option to compare.

Verdict

Choose iTranslate if you want a broad translation toolkit across mobile and desktop, with phone camera translation, app integrations, and offline support in one service. Its clearest strength is the variety of ways to translate; the main reasons to look elsewhere are the text-only free plan, four-language offline voice limit, and custom Pro price. For a traveler or language learner who needs the paid modes, compare the subscription terms and trial before committing.
