Thai is the national language of Thailand, so visitors reach for an English to Thai translator at Bangkok street stalls, on the southern islands and in taxis everywhere. Its script is unfamiliar to most English speakers, which is where TapTranslate's Camera Translate helps with menus and signs.
Thai has five tones, so words that look the same in romanization can mean different things: mai means new, wood, not, or marks a question, depending on its tone. Polite speech ends with khrap for men and kha for women, a small word that changes how a sentence lands.
Spoken by more than 60 million people, most of them in Thailand, where it is the national language.
Written in the Thai script, left to right, with no spaces between words; spaces mark the ends of phrases and sentences instead.
Type or paste English and read it in Thai, 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 Thai speech.
Point at printed Thai 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 Thai 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.

A Thai sentence without khrap or kha can sound blunt. Check that a translation ends with the particle that matches you, and add it when you speak.
Thai writes words together and puts spaces only between phrases. When you copy Thai text to translate, take the full sentence, since a fragment can cut a word in half.
Thai has several romanization systems and none of them shows tones, so the same word appears as khop khun, khob khun or kop kun on signs and menus. When it matters, show the Thai script instead of reading it aloud.
Answers specific to this language pair.
Yes. Point Camera Translate at printed Thai and it draws the English translation over the text, so menus, street signs and packaging make sense without learning the alphabet.
Yes. With Pro, download the offline pack once and TapTranslate translates between English and Thai with no connection, on an island ferry or anywhere without signal. Offline packs need iOS 27 and an iPhone with at least 4 GB of memory.
Yes. The TapTranslate keyboard works in any app, LINE included. Type in English and it replaces your text with the Thai translation, or copy a Thai message to translate it into English. Translate-as-you-type is part of Pro.
