In short, no- though some features do require a data connection. Only the Voice Translator, access to a Live Translator, and the Wi-Fi dialer require internet access to use. Everything else- the phrases, dictionary, culture information, audio lessons, and travel tools work without a data connection.
However, you do need to download the phrase packs for a language using a data connection to have access to all phrases, phrase audio and audio lessons. These require a separate download because if we included them in the initial download the app would require over 1GB of data.
These functions require data, though the data required is minimal. A typical Voice Translation requires approximately .02 megabytes of data usage, which will cost you approximately $.10 on the worst data roaming plans. One minute of Live Translator usage requires approximately .3 megabytes of data, which will cost you ~$1/minute on the worst data plans.
We use exchange rates from the European Central Bank. These rates are updated every time you open the application when you have a data connection. If you don’t have a data connection the currency converter will use the most recent data from the last time you used the application when you had a data connection.
We have a thorough process for updating language and culture content. This content is created and curated using professional language and culture experts. Every six months we have all of the content reviewed and updated to ensure it is accurate and up-to-date.
If you run out of your credits for either feature during a call we do not cut off the call. However you will need to purchase additional credits before placing another call.
It takes approximately 30 seconds to get connected to a live translator. You are NOT charged during this time- your credits are reduced only when you are actually connected to the translator.
We allow companies to include phone numbers to their travel agency, security provider or other relevant phone numbers. You have the option of making these calls using either your device’s phone or using a data connection inside of TripLingo.
If you select the SIM method of calling, the call will be made using your device’s phone just like if you dialed the number yourself.
If you use the Data method of calling, TripLingo will place the call using your phone’s data connection. If you’re connected to Wi-Fi then the call will be placed using that connection. If you’re connected to your phone’s network data connection, the call will be placed using that connection.
