Hitokoto Translate Klingon is a free entertainment sampler of the Hitokoto translation series. Try the series' large text and simple controls on a small interstellar detour.
Completely offline. We do not send your words to the Federation, either.
Speech recognition, translation and speech synthesis run on your device. Your speech and translations are not sent to a server.
AUTOMATIC INPUT-LANGUAGE DETECTION
With the Japanese interface, the app detects Japanese or Klingon. With the English interface, it detects English or Klingon. No manual input-language switch is needed between turns.
SPEAK AND LISTEN
Translate Japanese or English into Klingon, or recognize spoken Klingon and translate it back. Klingon speech is translated into English when the app interface is English, and into Japanese when the interface is Japanese. The app displays the recognized text and translation, then reads the translation aloud. Speak one short sentence at a time. Recognition varies with pronunciation and recording conditions.
FAMILIAR HITOKOTO CONTROLS
Listening starts automatically once setup is complete. Stop pauses listening and makes Settings available; Start resumes. Choose Japanese, English or tlhIngan Hol for the interface. Some help and legal information remains in Japanese or English.
OFFLINE AFTER INSTALLATION
All recognition, translation and speech data is included. Once Google Play installation is complete, no additional model download or separate speech app is required. First launch requires local data preparation and microphone permission. Installation requires a large download and sufficient free storage. Processing time depends on your device and sentence.
FREE SERIES SAMPLER
No in-app purchases, subscriptions, login or account registration. The app includes a guide to other Hitokoto editions. Store links open in an external app only when you tap them, and browsing those stores requires a connection. This sampler does not include the bidirectional Japanese-English, Japanese-Chinese or Japanese-German translation features of the other editions.
UNOFFICIAL ENTERTAINMENT
Translations and pronunciation may be inaccurate or unnatural. This app is for fun, not for precise communication or checking language-learning answers.
This is an independent, unofficial app. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with the owners of Star Trek. Klingon, Star Trek and related marks belong to their respective owners. The language name describes supported functionality.
For conversations on Earth, too.
