Translate text on your screen across apps, games, websites, images, and PDFs.
Read full description
Translate text on your screen without switching between apps.
LingoLayer is a screen translator for Android that lets you translate visible text directly on your screen. Use the floating translator bubble to translate text inside apps, websites, games, social media, chat messages, images, PDFs, and other content.
Whether you're reading a foreign-language game, chatting with someone, browsing a website, scrolling social media, studying another language, or traveling abroad, LingoLayer puts translation where you need it — directly on your screen.
TRANSLATE ANYWHERE ON YOUR SCREEN
Tap the floating translator bubble to start a screen translation without leaving the app you're using. Hold the bubble to enter area-select mode, then drag over any part of the screen to translate exactly what you choose.
The translated text appears as an overlay, making it easier to understand foreign-language content while you continue reading and using the app underneath.

PRIVATE ON-DEVICE TRANSLATION
LingoLayer is designed with privacy in mind. Translation processing takes place on your device, so the text you translate is not sent to a remote translation service.
No account is required to use the core screen translation experience.
Translation models can be downloaded to your device so supported languages can continue working without an internet connection.
For complete details about data handling, permissions, and privacy, see our Privacy Policy.
ACCESSIBILITY AND SCREEN ACCESS
LingoLayer uses Android screen and overlay capabilities to identify visible text and display translations over other apps. These permissions are required for the app's screen translation functionality and are used only for the features described in the app.
