Italian is the language of Italy, San Marino and Vatican City, and one of the four national languages of Switzerland. An English to Italian translator helps with train tickets in Rome, a menu in Naples or a message to family in Milan.
Italian spelling follows its sound closely, but it marks gender on nouns and adjectives and uses Lei, the same word as she, as the formal you. TapTranslate works in both directions, so you can read an Italian message in English and answer it in Italian.
Spoken by more than 60 million native speakers, mainly in Italy and southern Switzerland, and by Italian communities in Argentina, the United States and elsewhere.
Written in the Latin alphabet, left to right, with accented vowels such as à, è, é and ò, and with j, k, w, x and y found only in borrowed words.
Type or paste English and read it in Italian, 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 Italian speech.
Point at printed Italian on a menu, a sign or a label and read it in English, drawn over the original.
Type in English in any app and send it in Italian with one tap.
Scan a letter or open a PDF and read every page translated, with the layout kept.
Everyday phrases and how to say them. TapTranslate translates anything else you need.

Italian uses tu with friends and Lei with strangers, staff and older people. Lei takes the same verb form as she, so Lei parla inglese? means do you speak English? Check that a message to someone you have just met uses Lei.
An accent can turn one word into another: è means is while e means and, and papà is dad while il papa is the pope. Keep the accents when you type Italian so the translation reads the right word.
A doubled consonant changes the meaning: sete is thirst and sette is seven, pena is penalty and penna is pen. One typo can change a whole sentence, so read Italian text before you send it.
