Transor — Tone-Aware Translation & AI Language Chat (70+ Languages)

Transor is a tone-aware translator and AI language coach for 70+ languages. Choose Polite, Casual, Professional, or 30+ styles; ask follow-ups; learn why phrasing works; and use a lightweight offline mode when you’re not connected. Built with a client-first, no-server architecture for privacy and near-zero ops.

Why Transor

  • Context & tone, not just words — Captures intent, register, and nuance.
  • 70+ languages — Designed for both major and long-tail languages (including Thai).
  • 30+ tone styles — Match your voice: business, friendly, academic, playful, poetic, and more.
  • AI Language Chat — Practice with role-based personas (tutor, business partner, travel companion).
  • Offline fallback — On-device dictionary for essential lookups without connectivity.
  • No-server, privacy-first — Direct provider calls from the app; no central backend to breach.

What it does

  • Context-aware translation powered by Google Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • Smart conversations: follow-ups, alternatives, grammar notes, usage examples
  • Learning loops: focused practice sessions (up to 10 turns) that reinforce concepts
  • Real-time adaptation: adjusts for formality, slang vs. standard, and emotional tone
  • Gender-aware phrasing (e.g., Thai polite particles ครับ/ค่ะ, Spanish agreement, Arabic verb gender)
  • Clean, fast UI with dark/light themes; start free, upgrade for unlimited AI

How it’s built

  • Framework: React Native (Expo) • Language: TypeScript
  • AI Engine: Google Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • Prompting: Task-specific, tone-aware prompts with conversation memory
  • Subscriptions: RevenueCat (cross-platform IAP & management)
  • Security: Encrypted on-device storage for keys and user data
  • Architecture: No-server, client-first (provider-direct online; lightweight offline dictionary)

Challenges & solutions

  • App review & offline requirements: Added an offline dictionary fallback to ensure essential functionality without keys/connectivity.
  • On-device translation path: Deferred native ML toolchain; shipped a lightweight dictionary now, with ML Kit planned for richer offline sentences.
  • Human-quality outputs: Filters and validations reduce robotic phrasing, preserve context, and enforce tone accuracy.

Results we’re proud of

  • 30+ tone styles that map to real use cases
  • Role-based coaching that teaches, not just translates
  • Context persistence across turns for more natural conversations
  • Long-tail language support (including Thai) with parity features
  • Client-first design → predictable costs, stronger privacy

What we learned

  • Context and tone drive usefulness more than literal word swap.
  • Conversation and explanation support better retention than one-shot outputs.
  • Guardrails (validation, artifact cleanup) are essential for professional results.
  • Designing for long-tail languages influences UX, tone presets, and data minimization.
  • Offline capability improves reliability and clears app-store expectations.

Roadmap

  • Android launch (Google Play)
  • Voice translation (evaluating ElevenLabs)
  • More personas (legal, medical, technical)
  • Scenario packs (interviews, travel, negotiations)
  • Progress & drills (adaptive vocab and practice)
  • Multimodal OCR for images/docs/screenshots
  • Stronger offline with ML Kit—sentence-level on-device
  • Maintain no-server architecture while scaling users
