How it works

Different from Google Translate. On purpose.

01

Rule-based, not AI-generated

Every dialect rendering you see was hand-authored by a Swiss speaker. No LLM, no API calls, no hallucinations. When the translator doesn't know a word, it says so honestly.

02

Community-grown

The corpus expands as Swiss-German speakers — tutors, learners, locals — contribute rules. Every approved suggestion is credited.

03

Free up to 3 a day

Three saves per browser per day, no account needed. Sign up free for unlimited use and to suggest rules of your own.

Help us grow it.

If you're a Swiss-German speaker — Züri, Bern, St. Gallen, anywhere — you can suggest rules. Every approved rule is credited to its author. The translator gets smarter because of you.

More than a translation?

A translator can't teach you Swiss.
A Swiss can.

The translator is a starting point. For real fluency — for the rhythm, the slang, the confidence to speak in a Zürich tram or a Bern office — you need a person. Bernaly connects you with verified Swiss tutors who teach the dialect you actually need.
