What it does

Jamaican Translator converts standard English text into Jamaican Patois and lets the result be sent straight out to a messaging app, which is the usual reason someone reaches for a Patois translator. Alongside the translation panel it carries topic quizzes intended to teach the language rather than only produce output.

The App Store record names an individual developer, Jovi Chen-Mcintyre, with a first release in January 2020 and version 1.0.1 as the current build, so the app has not been updated since launch. It remains listed and downloadable, is free, and is filed under Education with Books as a secondary category.

No developer website or location is published, so the entry is recorded as Jamaica focused rather than confirmed Jamaican built, and it is treated as a separate product from the several other Patois translators on the App Store and Google Play.
