Maintenance

Troubleshooting

Problem: Translation is delayed or not working.
Solution: Ensure your mobile phone has a stable and strong internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data). Poor network conditions can affect translation performance.
Problem: Voice translation is inaccurate or incomplete.
Solution: When using the Bluetooth translation function, wait for the prompt tone before speaking, and release the button only after you have finished your complete sentence. Speak clearly and at a moderate pace. Check the text displayed on the APP screen to verify if the recognition result is accurate.
Problem: Cannot connect to Bluetooth.
Solution: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the translator is powered on. Restart both devices. If the issue persists, it might be a compatibility issue; contact customer support.
Problem: APP lacks necessary permissions.
Solution: Go to your phone's settings, find the "Translator" app, and ensure all required permissions (e.g., microphone, camera, storage, network) are granted. Refer to your phone's operating system manual for specific steps.
Problem: AI intelligent dialogue features are limited.
Solution: Currently, AI intelligent dialogue primarily supports Chinese. Other languages will be developed and supported in future updates. Ensure your device's firmware and app are up to date via FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) updates.
