Translate Flashcards Is Now an App
Translate Flashcards started as a Chrome extension that turned your Google Translate phrasebook into flashcards. The most common request since then has been simple: I want this on my phone.
Now you can have it. Translate Flashcards is now an app. It works on your phone, tablet and computer, keeps everything in sync, and translates on its own, so you don’t need Google Translate.
What’s new
- Every device. Add it to your home screen on iPhone or Android and it opens like any other app. Here’s how.
- Translations the way people actually say them. Pick your region once (like Mexico for Spanish), and add a note such as “informal” when it matters. Tap Explain when you want to know why it’s said that way.
- Review by ear. Turn on audio and you don’t need to read: hear the phrase, say your answer, then hear the other side.
- Practice both directions. Reverse any card to recall the phrase from your own language, not just recognize it.
- The spaced repetition you know. Mastery levels and review work the same way, and you can now see how many cards are at each level.
Bring your phrasebook with you
If you use the extension, you can import your phrasebook into the app any time: phrases, tags, notes and mastery levels. It’s a one-time move, and imported phrases don’t count toward the Free plan’s card limit. See the steps.
Free to start
The Free plan includes unlimited reviews, 10 translations a day and up to 50 new flashcards on top of anything you import. Pro removes the limits and adds natural, high-quality voices for $4.99 a month or $49 a year. Compare plans.
What about the extension?
It still works, and you can keep using it. New features are going into the app, though, so that’s where Translate Flashcards will keep getting better.
