Hebrew is the language of daily life in Israel, from street signs in Tel Aviv to text messages and government forms, and Jewish communities around the world study it too. An English to Hebrew translator helps with a trip, a business email or a note to family.
Hebrew is written right to left, and everyday text leaves out most vowels, so readers work out each word from context. Verbs, adjectives and even "you" change with gender, which English rarely marks, and TapTranslate lays out right-to-left text correctly so mixed Hebrew and English stays readable.
Spoken by about 9 million people, most of them in Israel, where it is the language of daily life and government.
Written in the Hebrew alphabet of 22 letters, right to left, usually without vowel marks.
Type or paste English and read it in Hebrew, or the other way around. Works online, and offline with a downloaded pack.
Speak in turns and hear each translation read aloud, when your iPhone supports Hebrew speech.
Type in English in any app and send it in Hebrew with one tap.
Scan a letter or open a PDF and read every page translated, with the layout kept.

Everyday Hebrew drops the vowel marks, so one spelling can stand for several words: ספר can be sefer (book), sapar (barber) or siper (told). A single word on its own is easy to misread, so translate a full sentence when you can.
Hebrew verbs and adjectives change with the gender of the speaker and the listener: ata medaber to a man, at medaberet to a woman. Check that the translation fits who you are and who you are writing to.
English words, brand names and numbers inside a Hebrew sentence run left to right. Apps that handle only one direction can push punctuation to the wrong end; the TapTranslate app and keyboard lay out both directions correctly.
