Kulau Translator for iPhone

Kulau Translator translates between English and Tok Pisin, Bislama and Pijin. Translation runs entirely on your iPhone, so it works without an internet connection. It also includes a dictionary for each language.

Requirements

• An iPhone running iOS 18 or later
• No internet connection, account or sign-in needed

Reporting a wrong translation

The app uses a small translation model that fits on your phone, so it will sometimes get things wrong. Reports of bad translations are the most useful feedback you can send. Please include:

• The text you typed
• The translation the app gave
• The languages you chose (for example English to Bislama)
• A better translation, if you know one

Common questions

Does the app need the internet?

No. The translation model and the dictionaries are built into the app, so it works in flight mode and in places with no signal.

How do I change languages?

Use the language bar at the top of the Translate tab. Pick a language from the menu, and tap the swap button to change the direction.

Why do I sometimes see a dictionary entry instead of a translation?

When you type a single word or short phrase that is in the dictionary, the app shows its dictionary entry. If the word is close to one in the dictionary, it suggests matches you can tap. Type a longer sentence to get a translation.

Can I browse the dictionary?

Yes. The Lexicon tab lists every word for the chosen language, and you can search it.

Does the app collect my data?

No. Nothing you type leaves your phone. See the privacy policy.
