# Marlin Translate > Your context-aware translator, right on your device. Select what you don’t understand. Marlin6 Translate reads the context around it and translates it instantly on your device. Marlin Translate is an on-device translator for phones and tablets, built by Marlin6 LLC (Wyoming, USA). Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play ## What it is Marlin Translate translates the thing you are actually looking at, in place, without leaving the app you are reading in. - **On device.** Translation runs locally. Selected text and the sentence around it are processed on the phone or tablet and are not transmitted, logged, or stored by Marlin6 LLC. - **Offline.** No network round trip, so no connection is required and nothing waits on one. - **Instant.** The result appears where the selection is, at reading speed, not after a spinner. - **Context-aware.** Most translators take a word alone. Marlin Translate reads the sentence and the passage around the selection first, so an ambiguous word resolves to the sense the page is using rather than its most common one. - **Professional quality.** Aimed at people reading real material — books, papers, documentation — where the wrong sense of a word changes the meaning of the paragraph. - **Private by construction.** There is no server for reading history to reach. See the privacy policy. ## Status - Not yet released. Marlin Translate is coming to the App Store and Google Play. - Early access is free, and the list is used for exactly one launch email. ## Pages - [Home](https://marlin6.com/): what Marlin Translate does, shown on a phone and a tablet, and the early-access form. - [Privacy Policy](https://marlin6.com/privacy): what the app and this site do and do not collect, and the processors involved. - [Terms of Service](https://marlin6.com/terms): the terms covering the site and the app. ## Company - Legal name: Marlin6 LLC - Jurisdiction: Wyoming, USA - Product: Marlin Translate - Website: https://marlin6.com ## Contact - [General](mailto:hello@marlin6.com): hello@marlin6.com — anything at all. - [Press and partnerships](mailto:contact@marlin6.com): contact@marlin6.com — including questions about the terms. - [Sales](mailto:sales@marlin6.com): sales@marlin6.com — licensing and volume enquiries. - [Support](mailto:support@marlin6.com): support@marlin6.com — help using the app. - [Billing](mailto:billing@marlin6.com): billing@marlin6.com — invoices and payments. - [Privacy](mailto:privacy@marlin6.com): privacy@marlin6.com — data access, correction and deletion requests.
