When you start using the iStoria app, especially in the early stages of learning English (from level 1 to level 4), you may need some help understanding sentences and texts. For this reason, we’ve added the sentence translation feature, which serves as a smart tool to gradually help you understand texts and build a strong linguistic foundation, eventually enabling you to think in English naturally.
💡 What is the Sentence Translation Feature?
This feature allows you to view the translation of any sentence in the story with just one click, helping you understand the context and full meaning of sentences while reading.
And that’s not all — you can choose the translation language that suits you from the app settings.
✅ When is the Translation Feature Available?
From level 1 to level 4: The sentence translation feature will be automatically activated. This feature is useful at the beginning to ease your learning process and enhance your understanding of sentences.
At level 4: You can control when the translation appears through a dedicated button in the story settings. This allows you to personalize your experience based on your progress.
From level 5 and beyond: In these levels, the sentence translation feature will not be available as it is in the earlier levels. The goal is to help you understand and use the language fluently without needing translation. Some learners may struggle at first, but with consistent practice and skill improvement, you will notice an enhancement in your ability to understand sentences without needing translation. The ultimate goal is to reach a point where you can think in English naturally.
Note: The sentence translation feature is only available to subscribers of the paid version of the app.
🌐 How to Use the Sentence Translation Feature
You can easily use the feature by following these steps:
Open the iStoria app.
Choose the story and chapter you want to read.
While reading, click the translation icon next to any sentence.
The translation will immediately appear in a popup window in the language you’ve selected (as shown in the image).
🚀 From Translation to Automatic Understanding
Some learners may face difficulty at first, which is completely normal. However, as you continue reading and practicing, you will begin to understand sentences without needing to translate them. The goal of this phase is to enhance your ability to absorb the language directly and think in it without any intermediaries.
At iStoria, we employ carefully designed teaching strategies that support your gradual development, helping you transition from translation-based understanding to natural comprehension of sentences and context.
