Translate a word
Choose a language pair, enter the source and press Translate.
1. Get started
- Choose the App Language used for menus and messages.
- Create an account with email, Google or Apple, or continue anonymously. A registered account is best for cross-device saving and connected conversations.
- Grant microphone, camera or notification permission only when you want to use the matching feature.
- Use the bottom navigation for Translate, History, Review, Learn and Lab.
Tip: source language means the language of the text you have. Destination language means the language you want to receive.
2. Translate
Type a word or expression
- Choose source and destination languages.
- Type or paste into the search box.

Speak, upload or photograph
Use the microphone to dictate. Use the image button for an existing picture or the camera for new text. Crop the useful area, then translate it.
Use language detection
If Qelumi is highly confident that the text is in the opposite selected language, it can swap automatically and tell you. For another detected language, review the suggestion before switching.
Open complete details
The complete translation list appears first. Press More details… for the linguistic sections. If generation is still running, the button shows that details are in progress.
