Translator

Translation support for foreign place-name and field communication context — beside audio pronunciations in GeoNames.

Translator helps when operating in unfamiliar languages. Combine it with GeoNames audio pronunciations for place names and local feature labels.

August 2026: Gemma runs on-device for GeoChat and GeoNames translation (English, Spanish, French, German) — no cloud, no data leaves the device. Official geographic names are preserved when no established translation exists.

  • On-device Gemma translation — GeoChat + GeoNames batches
  • Pairs with GeoNames pronunciations
  • Entity extraction from messages (locations, coords, callsigns)
  • On-device dictation and text-to-speech
