EduLang’s Unique Approach

EduLang stands out as a unique solution. Unlike existing products, it focuses on languages with limited resources and offers live translations that keep the original text intact. EduLang’s app translates children’s books into 108 languages, and users can upload their own books for translation, enhancing language skills while preserving their native language.

As the daughter of an immigrant, I can personally see how valuable this app would be, not only for language learning but also for preserving languages for future generations.
