No one person can map the idioms of the world. Idiomator grows through native speakers, linguists and organizations who want their languages represented: in dictionaries, and in the data machines learn from.
7 languages so far. Every language added comes from someone who speaks it.

Projects we work with
Independent projects that cover parts of the idiom problem Idiomator doesn’t, so between us a learner can look an idiom up, find it in their own text, and use it naturally in their own writing.
Website

A dictionary for exploring how idioms translate across languages and the countries they're used in.
Best for: looking up how an idiom is said elsewhere in the world.
Visit IdiomaticallyChrome extension
IdiomaticFlags literal or awkward phrasing while you write and suggests idioms that sound natural to native speakers. It runs locally, checks a multilingual dictionary first, and can fall back to local AI.
Best for: writing in English, Spanish or French and wanting it to sound native.
