One connected learning loop
Translation is where the learning starts—not where it ends.
See why words feel familiar.
Reveal cognates, borrowings, shared roots, false friends, and genuinely unrelated words. Connections are shown only when you ask for them.

How it works
A better lookup in three small moves.
Polygelato fits beside the courses, books, and conversations you already use. It catches the words that spark your curiosity and turns them into something reusable.
- 01
Choose your language set
Pick the languages you speak and the ones you’re learning. Their colours stay consistent, so the set becomes familiar at a glance.
- 02
Look up anything once
Enter a word, phrase, or—in Double Scoop—a full sentence. Results fill in together, without changing source and target menus.
- 03
Keep the useful parts
Save a word in one tap. Search it later in any language, or let the study queue bring it back at the right time.
Not just a translator
The difference is what happens after “translate.”

Good questions
Before you add another language app.
Is Polygelato a language course?
No. It works alongside your courses, reading, and conversations. Polygelato is where the words you encounter become connected, saved, and reviewable.
Which languages can I use?
The current catalogue has 19 languages across Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Devanagari, Thai, Hangul, Han, and Japanese scripts. Scoop lets you keep 5 in your active set; Double Scoop raises that to 12.
What counts as a lookup?
Only a request that needs a new model call uses your monthly allowance. If Polygelato can answer from its shared cache, the repeat is instant, free, and unmetered.
Does study cost extra?
No. All four study modes are included on every plan. Running out of lookups or moving back to Scoop never blocks your saved words or your review queue.
Are the translations and origins always right?
They are AI-generated and can be wrong. Polygelato validates the response shape and marks low-confidence connection claims, but you should still verify anything consequential.
Can I buy Double Scoop now?
Not yet. The plan and billing flow are being finished and tested. Join early access and we’ll send one email when new accounts and paid billing open.
