About the Translator App

Lingua is a translator app UI design built around Crisp Paper Clarity: warm paper-white backgrounds, near-black ink text, and a single confident cobalt accent reserved only for the active language direction and the translate action. There are no cards or drop shadows; input and output stack as two tonal panels divided by a single hairline rule, so each screen reads with the calm of a well-typeset phrasebook.

The template ships six connected screens that form a complete translation flow: a dual-pane Translate screen with romanization and a speaker action, a two-sided Conversation view with a hold-to-speak mic, a live Camera translate viewfinder that swaps detected text inline, a categorized Phrasebook of saved phrases, a searchable Languages list with offline-ready markers, and a day-grouped History list. The signature "swap pivot", a center-mounted circular cobalt button with interlocking arrows, recurs as the visual anchor that flips the input and output stack.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Then export it to code, copy it into Figma, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Screens included

01

Translate

A dual-pane layout with the English input on top and the Spanish result set in a larger weight below, plus a phonetic romanization line and speaker, copy, star, and share actions. The center swap pivot flips the two panels in place.

02

Conversation

A two-sided chat view with English bubbles on the right and cobalt-edged Spanish bubbles on the left, topped by Active and Listening status labels. A large "Hold to speak" mic button drives the back-and-forth.

03

Camera translate

A live viewfinder detects text on a street sign and replaces it inline ("SALIDA" becomes "EXIT") with a highlighted bounding box. A capture button, flash toggle, gallery, and an EN to ES language strip sit on top of the camera feed.

04

Phrasebook

Saved phrases grouped by category (Dining, Directions) as hairline-divided rows, each showing both languages with a star to favorite. Filter chips across the top switch between All Phrases and categories.

05

Languages

A searchable list of 100+ languages with the current English-Spanish pair pinned at the top and download markers showing which are offline ready. Each row pairs the language name with its native spelling.

06

History

Past translations listed in reverse chronological order, grouped under Today and Yesterday with direction codes and timestamps. A "Clear All" action and monthly count sit at the top, and each row reopens the translation.

Questions, answered. Everything to know before you start.

How do I build a translator app from this template?
Click "Use this template" to open it in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your product needs. You start from six complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working translator app UI far faster.
What screens are included in this translator app UI design?
Six connected screens: Translate, Conversation, Camera translate, Phrasebook, Languages, and History. Together they cover the core flow of a real translation app, from typing a phrase to speaking, scanning signs with the camera, and saving favorites.
Can I customize the translator app UI design?
Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: restyle the cobalt accent, change layouts, and add or remove flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.
Is this translator app design template free to use?
You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.
Can I export the design to code or Figma?
Yes. Sleek exports your design as code, copies straight into Figma with no plugin, or hands you a ready-made prompt that an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor can use to build it into a real, working app.
Is this template suitable for a travel or phrasebook app?
Absolutely. The phrasebook, camera translate, and conversation screens map cleanly onto travel companions, phrasebook tools, and on-the-go interpreters. Adjust the categories and language pairs to fit your product.
