### 🌍 A 33-language translator that lives in your phone — and hates the internet

Hy-MT2 by Tencent: the whole translator is one 440 MB file — drop it into a free app, turn on airplane mode, translate forever · open source, Apache 2.0, 1.7K ⭐

your Wi-Fi dies. your SIM dies. your translator keeps working — 33 languages, zero bars

> すし を 食べたい です

> 🌍 Hy-MT2, same second, still zero bars:  
> I want to eat sushi 🍣

that’s the whole trick — the model file (440 MB, smaller than a mobile game) lives on your phone, sees your screen, and answers in any of 33 languages

🛂 the stamps it obeys — say it once, it remembers the rule

- 🏷 **glossary stamp** — “always translate 味噌 as miso, never as soybean paste” — your terms, locked
- 🎭 **style stamp** — “translate like a pirate” / “keep it formal” / “12-year-old can read this”
- 💻 **code stamp** — variables, placeholders and tags pass through untouched, only human words get translated
- 🧾 **format stamp** — line breaks, separators and layouts come back exactly as they went in

🎟 boarding pass — how you fly it

| ✈ | your flight plan |
| --- | --- |
| **luggage** | grab the Hy-MT2-1.8B GGUF — [440 MB from Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/tencent) · repo: [github.com/tencent-hunyuan/Hy-MT2](https://github.com/tencent-hunyuan/Hy-MT2) |
| **gate** | drop it into [PocketPal AI](https://github.com/a-ghorbani/PocketPal-AI) (Android + iPhone) · [Maid](https://github.com/Mobile-Artificial-Intelligence/maid) or [LM Playground](https://lmplayground.app/) (Android) |
| **mode** | ✈ airplane — one test online, then never needs a bar again |
| **destination** | 🌍 33 languages · [WMT26 subtitle-translation official partner](https://www2.statmt.org/wmt26/video-subtitle-translation.html) |

- 🧊 **the myth-busts** — DeepL has **no offline mode** (every word goes to the cloud) · NLLB-200 covers 200 languages but **forbids commercial use** · Google offline packs are great for camera/menus — install both, use each for what it’s best at
- ⚖ **license, checked** — Apache 2.0 straight from the repo’s LICENSE.txt: commercial use, modification, redistribution — all allowed
- 🎬 **the subtitle flight** — Tencent officially partners with WMT26’s video-subtitle task; keep timestamps outside the model, translate the text inside
- 📊 **the honest stamp** — “beats Microsoft/Doubao” is a vendor benchmark, not an independent audit · ~3–5 sec per step · quantization can soften tricky text

─ 🛂 the passport control, one line

🔐 the superpower — private text never leaves your phone (journals, drafts, game strings) · 440 MB is the file, not the RAM it needs · never trust any AI translation for legal/medical/safety-critical

The best translator is the one that works when everything else doesn’t.
