Make it yours

A collection built around your life.

01

Save what matters

Add your own phrases and translations. Edit the wording whenever you find a better way to say it.

02

Find it in a moment

Search phrases, translations, and romanizations. Matching ignores case and accents, so “cafe” can find “Café.”

03

Keep your order

Drag phrases into the order you need. Each language direction has its own list, and your order survives the next launch.

04

Hear the translation

Tap a speaker to hear a saved translation using an available voice installed on your iPhone.

05

Start with a suggestion

Apple’s Translation framework can suggest translations as you type on supported devices and language pairs. You can always enter your own.

06

Read another script

Add or edit a Latin-script reading. Suggested romanization, including Chinese Pinyin, gives you a starting point that you can correct.

Choose your conversation

20 language options.
Your own words in each.

Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Language selection is available for manual phrase entry. Automatic translation support varies by device, operating system, and language pair.

Your collection stays close

Saved on your iPhone.

Browse and search your saved phrases without an internet connection. No account is required, and Phrasebook does not provide a cloud-sync service.

Language packs and speech voices may need downloading. Romanization is a reading aid and may need correction. Translation and voice availability depend on your device.
