And theSiritweaks just keep rolling in.Lingualis one of the first 3rd party extensions for the awesomeAssistantExtensions tweakthat we covered earlier. It allows you to translate phrases or text into a variety of languages from the comforts of the Siri interface, and it’s awesome for language learners and travelers.
It really is amazing what some developers have been able to do in the short period that theiPhone 4Shas beenjailbroken, and this one is nothing short of spectacular.

Lingual supports over 30 languages, including the following: Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, Estonian, Finnish, French, Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Haitian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Latvian, Norwegian, polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukranian, Vietnamese, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
After installing it, all you need to do is Say, “translate [phrase] to [language]” or, “what’s [phrase] in [language]”, and let Siri handle the rest.
You will need the AssistantExtensions tweak installed for Lingual to work, as it piggybacks that tweak as one of the first extensions to take advantage of the platform.
CodeThemed, the developers of the tweak, really outdid themselves, and although the tweak isn’t yetperfect, it’s impressive how well it works at this stage. What’s even sweeter is that they plan to release it for free.
Lingual should be available in the near future, and we’ll be sure to update you once it touches down on Cydia.
Are you impressed? Could you see yourself using this?
