10 Best French Translator Apps You Can Use On-the-Go
‍

1. Google Translate

Let's get the classic one out of the way. Most of us already know about Google Translate and what it can do. While the functionality has improved over time, such as automatic language recognition, you may notice some common translation mistakes in the software.If you plan to learn on the go, you'll want to download the app on iTunes or Android Google Store.

2. Takeeasy

Takeeasy is a French translator app that uses real humans to give you personalized translations on-the-go. Think of it as a 24/7 personal assistant for translating while you're out at a restaurant, date, or tour. They offer a free trial call but it is not a free service.It costs around $1.99 USD/min but for most people you will only need to use it for a few minutes at a time, keeping the total cost fairly low.

3. TripLingo

This traveler app is specifically targeted for foreigners visiting an international country. In addition to a useful voice translation feature, TripLingo also provides a phrasebook, tip calculator, Wi-Fi dialer, and more to help you get around safe and sound!

Check out the app on iTunes or on the Android store.

4. Offline English/French Translator

Do you often run into low-data snags or looking to avoid a bad Wi-Fi situation? This may be your solution.

This offline English to French translator app functions without depending on the Internet, which is particularly important for travelers. Best of all, it's completely free.

5. Jibbigo

Often the hardest part about communicating in a foreign language is getting the spelling correct.This is why Jibbigo is #6 on our most recommend translator apps. By speaking into your mic, you'll get a French translation in return in written format to show you how to spell your word.

6. WordReference  

What's great about WordReference is the popular community that's involved in improving the experience for you. This means you get to take advantage of questions that have already been answered by members, and you can also find useful conjugations in French, Spanish, and many other languages.

7. TranslateMe

TranslateMe is a simple and intuitive design layer that's on top of Google Translate. From a functionality perspective, it's no different than Google's technology, which may not be for everyone. But if you prefer simplicity and an intuitive experience, this would be your go-to app.

8. SayHi

SayHi is an awesome, beautiful looking app that allows you to have a conversational translation experience. By using your voice, you can have a back and forth conversation to translate English to French or any other language you want.

9. SpeakText

This app is a similar one to SayHi, bringing your sentences to text. From our understanding, it's originally intended to convert voice to text in your own language, but you can certainly adjust the language and use it as a translator function. Go nuts!

10. Rype

Last but not least, we recommend working with our very own hand picked French teachers. They can work with you live 1-on-1 to help you improve your speaking skills, translate words you don't understand, and help you reach fluency faster. Start your language lessons trial now.
