    Very helpful. I’ll abandon efforts to get it as an app that translates and continue to access their website. Thanks for the clarification. Learning Spanish is hard enough. I’ll pass on the Japanese 🤪

    How to translate Gronze.com on my phone into English

    While I am trying to learn some Spanish before my Camino (in April) it will never be enough to navigate Gronze in Spanish. While it translates nicely on my laptop, when I download their App(not really an app) to my phone, I can't get it to translate. Suggestions. Please keep the language...
