Phone only and also requires sign up before I can even see a list of languages that are available? I'd like to use it but I'm not gonna do it on my phone, and I'm not gonna sign up before if I know my target languages are available.

Also its not clear if this is just some in-line translation of articles and subtitles using google translate? Something else?

We list the languages on the website and the app description (also rakoo pasted them in his comment).

Check out @levpopov's other comments about phone #s (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20097197) and how we handle translation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20097026).

I see the language description on the site now but it was hard to spot until I looked really carefully. That said, I don't see a way to use this as a web app, only to download it for a mobile device. I know the phone number is for getting a download link but the thing is I do not want to download it.
