Janau Makes Translation Show Its Work

janau.app Observed source
Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iPhone translation app that colour-matches words across languages and explains the choices behind each pairing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

Janau accepts typed, spoken, pasted, or camera-captured language and overlays matching source and translated words with six colour-coded pairs. Its example shows “fade” and “apagarse” switching positions, while tapping a pair is described as exposing literal meaning, formality, and alternatives. The site also documents a three-tier water simulation used during processing, including approximate wave speed and settling time, rather than treating the animation as unexplained decoration.
