Dialect and Heritage Language Translators

Standard translators give you textbook French, Spanish or Arabic. These tools give you the words people actually use in Louisiana, Puerto Rico and Cairo, and the Navajo words of the Diné.

Why dialects matter

A Puerto Rican says guagua, not autobús; a Cajun says asteur, not maintenant; an Egyptian says ezzayak, not kayfa ḥāluk. Using the local word shows respect and makes your message sound natural to the people you are writing to.
