GeoFix Live Translate

Understand the world, even without a connection.

With GeoFix Live Translate you listen to, understand and translate conversations right on your iPhone, even offline.

Requires iOS 26 or later · Included in GeoFix Premium

Words no longer have borders.

A guide tells the story of a village in another language. At the mountain hut you ask about the trail and the answer comes back in Spanish. With Live Translate you listen to what people tell you and read it in your own language, while the conversation carries on.

Travelling

Ask, and understand the answer.

Directions, timetables, a tip about the route: follow the person answering you without searching a dictionary.

With a guide

Follow the explanation as you walk.

Every translated sentence appears on screen and, with headphones, you hear it in your own language.

In a conversation

When it's your turn, reply.

Swap the languages and show the translated text to the person in front of you.

Offline

Translation that works fully offline.

Speech recognition and translation happen on your iPhone, using the language models already installed on the device. You don't need a connection to translate: Live Translate also works in airplane mode or where there is no signal.

  • Only languages ready offline
    The pickers list the languages whose models are installed: whatever you choose, you can use without a network.
  • Models managed by iOS
    GeoFix doesn't download models. If a language isn't listed, its models are installed from the iOS settings.

The languages you can use depend on the speech recognition and translation models installed on your iPhone.

Voice

Hear the translation in your headphones.

With headphones connected, GeoFix reads the translation aloud while the text stays on screen. Keep your eyes on the person speaking and go back to the text whenever you like.

  • The text is always there
    Every translation appears on screen, with or without the voice.
  • Headphones only
    The voice plays in compatible headphones, never from the iPhone speaker. Without headphones, Live Translate works in text mode.
  • The voice you prefer
    Choose from the iOS voices installed for your language and try it in your headphones before you start.

Both directions

One conversation, both directions.

When it's your turn, tap “Swap languages”: GeoFix listens to you and translates into the other person's language, in the same conversation.

  • Text for the person listening
    In the swapped direction Live Translate switches to “Text only — audio off” and shows the translation on the “For the other person” card, in large type, ready to turn towards whoever is in front of you.
  • Back to voice whenever you like
    “Restore voice translation” brings back the original direction, with the translation in your headphones again.
  • Every turn keeps its languages
    In the conversation each sentence keeps the direction it was translated in.

You decide when to change direction: swapping is a command, not voice detection.

Conversation

Your conversations, close at hand.

Translated turns are collected in a single conversation that you can reread full screen in “Text translation”.

  • Copy
    Copy a translation and use it wherever you need it.
  • Share
    Export the conversation as a text file, with original and translation or with the translation only.
  • The previous one stays
    When you start a new conversation, the earlier one stays available as “Previous” until you start another. It is deleted only when you choose to.
