Linga: Books with translations
How does the side-by-side translation feature work in Linga?
The app displays the original text on the left and the English translation on the right. When you tap a sentence in the translation, it highlights the corresponding section in the original text, helping you understand the word-for-word meaning.
Can I use Linga's books offline?
Yes, you can download books for offline reading. This is useful for situations like travel, as mentioned by a user who downloaded books before a long car ride.
Are there intrusive ads or in-app purchases in Linga?
No, the app is completely free with no paywalls. It only shows small, silent banner ads on the main library screen, and these ads disappear completely when you are reading a book.
Is the book selection limited to only common languages?
While major languages like Spanish and French have extensive libraries, selection for less common languages can be sparse. A user noted difficulty finding children's books in Swedish, for example.
How does Linga compare to other language reading apps with in-app purchases?
Unlike some apps that become cluttered with ads and purchases, Linga is focused and ad-free during reading. It provides a simple, educational experience without sneaky traps or prompts to buy additional content.
