Product

AI Translation

You can immediately receive highly accurate translation results based on vast language data. Similar translations done by other translators are also shown together.

Crowdsourced Translation

Requests for simple text, voice, or image translations can be sent to the 1 million translators who have passed Flitto’s independent translator tests. The cost is calculated based on the number of characters for the original source text. Purchased points can be conveniently used at any time.

1:1 Pro Translation

This is a service where 1:1 translation requests are sent directly to professional translators, offering results that are more professional and consistent compared to crowdsourced translations. Requests can be made in various file formats, and profiles for proven professional translators in each field are available for review and selection. As the service links the requester directly with a translator, the translator can send his/her desired quote and the requester can use the professional translation service without overblown costs.

QR Place

This is a service that allows menus to be easily created in 25 languages at a low cost through the app. Anyone can easily look at the translated multi-lingual menus by scanning the unique QR code issued for each place. One advantage here is that continuous maintenance (such as adding or deleting menu items) can be handled through the Flitto app.

Discovery

This is the area where updates for famous SNS accounts or interesting content can be directly translated or enjoyed in each language.
