LangBook is a very expensive and high-quality dictionary/translator for iPhone and iPad. After purchasing, the program will offer you to download large Offline dictionaries to your phone, which will make you independent of the Internet, which is very convenient if you travel. English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian...

The online translator is based on Google Translate.
In addition to speech input, Google Translate offers convenient handwriting input. This function will be especially convenient for those who learn the languages of eastern countries. The program can also translate text on the go using your iPhone camera, but it works this function bad, but Google Translate does a pretty good job of translating text from a photo.
Yandex.Translation
Domestic translator from the company of the same name. It is inferior on all fronts to the Google translator, but it has the ability to save dictionaries offline. And this is great, since you can find similar functionality mainly in expensive programs.If you haven’t found an answer to your question or something didn’t work out for you, and there is no suitable solution in the comments below, ask a question through ours.

About five years ago, a good dictionary and translator for the iPhone cost a lot of money, and good ones, and even free ones, did not exist at all. After the release of free translators for iPhone and iPad from Google and Yandex, the policies of other companies also changed and there are now a lot of them in the App Store.
Today in the review of the best, five free translator for iPhone and iPad, with which you can not only translate words and sentences, but also communicate without difficulty while abroad.
Lingvo dictionary + photo translator from English into Russian and 8 other languages
The powerful database of dictionaries in the ABBYY Lingvo application provides first-class and accurate translation online and offline. The basic set of 10 dictionaries is free, but if you need something more than an ordinary translator, you will have to pay. Among the advantages is a good search - by entering a word, not only the translation appears, but also variants of use in the bulk of phrases.
The translator also has a quick translation from the camera, but it works awkwardly, only for one word. To translate an entire sentence or page, developers sell a separate application that costs 379 rubles.
Another feature of the translator are cards - phrases or words that you want to learn can be added to a separate section.
Both corporations, Yandex and Google, are trying to promote their services in all directions. The Yandex.Translator application stands out for its simplicity and good functionality - there is translation without the Internet, a photo translator, and voice input. And, of course, it is absolutely free.
By own experience I can say with complete confidence that simultaneous translation works very well even with a poor Internet connection. Large texts from photos are translated 50/50, sometimes the application cannot recognize the text at all.
There is also a great feature with which you can quickly delete written text - you just need to swipe to the left and the input field will become empty.
The translator is interesting for certain functions that competitors do not have - a translator keyboard and a widget in the notification center. Otherwise, the translator is very simple and understandable; it can read entire sentences and store favorites in a separate section. For the majority of languages, there are voice translation settings - you can choose which voice will be read, female or male, as well as the reading speed.
iTranslate is free, but it has advertising banner, however, it can be disabled by purchasing iTranslate Premium for 529 rubles, which also includes speech recognition and translations with large amounts of text.
It seems to me that this is the best and most convenient translator for iPhone and iPad. Google has all of the above features absolutely free and all in a nice and user-friendly interface. Translating text from photos works perfectly, failures are very rare. There is even quite tolerable handwriting input. I don’t understand who it was made for, but the fact that it exists is already a plus.
The translation history is conveniently made, which is located immediately below the input field - there is no need to search for recently translated words and sentences in different categories. But Google Translate has a big disadvantage - it cannot work without an Internet connection.
Microsoft Translator
Translator from Microsoft still quite young, in App Store app appeared last summer, but has already managed to win over some users. The developers have focused on simultaneous translation, which makes it possible to communicate with people without knowing their language.
You just need to open the translator on your iPhone and watch Apple Watch, activate the instant transfer function and give iPhone to interlocutor- the application will show the translation simultaneously on the smartphone and watch. True, it doesn’t function very accurately now, and there aren’t many languages, although there is Russian, which is good.
Don't forget to add to the application required functions like a translation from a photograph - done well and conveniently. The translator is absolutely free, but you don’t need to expect anything unusual from it yet; the application has many minor errors and shortcomings.

Traveling around different countries It is very important to have a foreign language textbook with you. But traveling with a textbook is expensive, so having a translator in your iPhone makes you feel free and confident. But, as you know, almost all translators require an Internet connection, and roaming fees are quite expensive, so optimal solution is to use an offline translator for iPhone. Let's look at the top three candidates.
Promt
The first position is deservedly given to the famous translator of various languages, who is called Promt. The dictionary is characterized by excellent work without an Internet connection to the iPhone, due to which its popularity has no limits. But everything would be fine if there were no payment for this application. There are positive features of the application:
- Ease of operation: when launched, a ready-made window for translation opens.
- The translation accuracy is superior to online translators: there is a choice of topics.
- Availability of a phrasebook that also works offline.
- Automatic text translation; ability to copy translated text.
- Instantly translate text from any application.
The offline translator for iPhone called Lingvo Dictionaries is almost as good. It is free to distribute, but the standard library is filled with only 56 dictionaries. It is possible to additionally download more than 200 dictionaries, only, of course, for a fee. But the most important feature of the dictionary is the ability to translate text from photographs. You just need to take a photo and then place it in the application. Lingvo Dictionaries works great on all generations of iPhone.
Offline translator for iPhone, but only the possibility of “offline” translation is carried out only after installing additional dictionaries on the device. After that, you can forget about going online just to translate one sentence.
The translator is also characterized by a simple and clear interface in which you can even translate SMS messages. But it is worth highlighting the main feature of the application: voice translation with the ability to pronounce sentences. But such pleasure will require an Internet connection. The translator also monitors grammar, provides transcription and pronounces individual words.
Device owners from Apple Now they can travel around the world and learn languages absolutely carefree.
