Short destination slices, not the whole library
- Destination hubs stay public and easy to browse.
- Phrase pages preview a small number of useful moments in context.
- Trip-moment articles still support SEO and traveler confidence.
Destination-first phrase discovery
Use the website to preview the trip moment. Use the app when you want the full phrasebook in your pocket.
SpeakLocal is moving toward a family of destination-specific travel phrasebook apps plus a website built for phrase discovery in context. Browse by destination first, open the trip moment that matches the scenario, then hand off to the app for the fuller searchable audio-supported library.
Website role: destination hubs, phrase previews, and trip-moment articles.
App role: fuller searchable phrase library with audio, saved phrases, and offline support.
Vietnam is live now. Tagalog follows on the same family frame.
How SpeakLocal Works
Users browse by destination. The system assembles by scenario.
1. Pick the destination
Country hubs stay the main browse layer so phrase help never feels detached from the trip.
2. Open the phrase moment
Phrase articles preview the exact interaction before the app takes over.
3. Use the App Store path when the trip turns live
The fuller searchable audio library lives in the iPhone app once the trip is happening.
4. Tell us which destination should be next
Use feedback to signal the phrase and audio situations you want prioritized.
The fuller phrasebook lives where the traveler needs it
- Search, saved phrases, audio, and offline use belong in the app.
- The website should hand traffic toward app installs, not impersonate the app.
- The family offer is a practical essentials layer plus a deeper library in-app.
Vietnam live now, Tagalog next, other destinations guide-first
- Vietnam is the current conversion path for installs.
- Philippines can preview the Tagalog family direction without pretending the app is already live.
- Other destinations stay article-led until the family app offer is ready there.

Philippines is the first guide-first preview of the Tagalog lane
Use it to show how the family frame can move from destination hub to phrase preview before the app goes live.
Phrase pages should become first-class landing pages
They need visible phrase modules, an honest audio state, and a clean handoff into the app.
Feedback doubles as lightweight demand capture for the next destination
That is the simplest near-term non-Vietnam CTA before a waitlist or account system exists.
Phrase Preview
Start small on the website, then hand off to the full library in the app.
The next practical site version should show a few real phrases, pronunciation, context, and a truthful audio state instead of pretending the whole phrasebook already lives on the site.
Vietnam sample module
Arrival and polite basics
This is the contract the website should follow: destination-specific preview, clear pronunciation, context, and a CTA into the fuller app library.

Site audio status: next rollout.
App audio status: playable today inside Viet Travel Phrasebook.
Scope rule: keep the website slice small and send the deeper library into the app.
Countries
Destination hubs stay the main public entry point.
Each hub should explain the support status, the best first phrase or trip-moment reads, and what the next conversion move is for that destination.

Conversion Paths
Keep the next move obvious from every entry point.
The site should make it clear whether the user should install the live app, keep reading the destination hub, or send feedback for the next destination lane.
Vietnam search or article traffic
Open the destination hub or phrase page, preview the specific moment, then install Viet Travel Phrasebook for the fuller library.
Philippines guide traffic

Other destination traffic
Stay article-led, keep internal links inside the destination, and avoid implying a live app until the family offer is genuinely ready.
Trip Moments
Trip-moment pages stay secondary to the destination.
Keep these pages as filters and internal-link helpers, not as the main public architecture.
Arrival and first 24 hours
Airport arrival, hotel handoff, first transport, and the setup decisions that shape the rest of the trip.
