Universal Hieroglyph Translator

Our Universal Hieroglyph Translator has the same acclaimed onboard Egyptian dictionary as our “Hieroglyph Pro” App. The dictionary has nearly 50,000 words and phrases with their respective translations, transliterations, and parts of speech. Translations to modern languages are all computed inside your device using the very latest “Machine Learning” technology from GoogleTranslate. When you first run the App, you can select a few languages to download and store on your device. After that, you are free to translate into those languages!  The number of languages is only limited by the amount of memory you have. Each language, after English, takes up 30 – 100 Mbytes.  Once you have downloaded your desired language data into your device, no internet connection is required for translations. You can always add or remove languages later.

Here are a few examples of translations found for the ancient Egyptian word for “welcome” into English, Arabic, French, and Japanese.

You can enter Egyptian words or phrases into the App with the regular screen-based iPhone/iPad keyboard.  Egyptologists routinely use either of two conventions to represent hieroglyphs with a regular Latin keyboard. This App allows you to use either Gardiner codes, Manuel de Codage strings, or any combination of the two. Here are some examples of input:

 

X1-G15-F35-M17-X1-D21-X1-X1-N35-N36-X1  (pure Gardiner code entry)

ra-wsr-mAat-ra-stp-n              (pure MdC entry)

t-G15-nfr-i-X1-r-t-t-N36-t      (mixed entry of GC and MdC)

When you have found the translations you were looking for, click on it. Your result will be copied into the clipboard. From there you can paste it, including hieroglyphs, into other Apps like Main, Message, Numbers, Notes, etc.
