Common inquiries

Questions, occasionally answered.

How does the iOS 18.4 integration work?

Make SnipLang your Default Translation App in iOS Settings. Then select text in Safari, Mail, Messages or any other app, tap Translate, and SnipLang translates it in place.

How does the spell checker work?

SnipLang checks your spelling in real time as you type, in 25+ languages. Instead of a silent red line, it shows the correct word right inline along with the rule behind the fix.

Is an internet connection required?

Saved words and on-device spell checking work offline. Translation, word analysis and SL Chat need a connection to our linguistic engine.

What does PRO unlock?

Free gives you 5 PRO translations a day with full word analysis, plus spelling, grammar and tone checks to try. PRO removes the limits and adds SL Chat and writing memory.

Which languages are supported?

120+ languages including English, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and the Nordic and East Asian families. UI ships in English, German, Spanish, Polish and Russian.
