FAQ
Before you go.
Is this a translator?
It is a prepared phrase tool for specific travel situations, not an open-ended translator. You get context, Chinese phrases and predefined replies or fields. There is no live AI translation or voice API.
Does it work offline?
Open the tool online and save its offline copy from My packs. After the download finishes, free and unlocked cards can work offline. Payments, account verification and purchase restoration need a connection. Browser storage can be cleared by your device.
Can I add it to my home screen?
Yes. On iPhone, use Safari’s Share menu and Add to Home Screen. On Android, use your browser’s Install app or Add to Home Screen option when available. Download the offline copy before leaving Wi-Fi.
Will Chinese audio work everywhere?
Audio uses a Chinese voice installed or provided by your device. Availability and offline support vary by browser and device. Test it before your trip; large Chinese text remains available when speech is unavailable. Pre-recorded audio is not included in this release.
What exactly does a pack include?
A single-destination pack is US$1.90. The current 10-destination collection is US$4.90. Both are one-time purchases when sales open. The collection covers the destinations shown here; it does not promise future cities.
Are these official booking services?
No. China Phrases is an independent communication aid. It does not sell attraction tickets or make reservations. Guides link to source material; schedules, eligibility and entry rules must be confirmed with the venue.
