How to cancel iTranslate and stop recurring charges in india
Understanding iTranslate and your subscription options in india
iTranslate is a translation application available on iOS, Android and web browsers that delivers real-time translation across dozens of languages. The app serves travellers, students and professionals who need instant translation support across multiple formats: text translation, voice-to-voice translation, camera-based translation (called Lens), and offline language packs through its Pro subscription tier.
The free version offers basic text translation. Your Pro subscription unlocks premium features including offline language packs, advanced voice translation, camera translation, and custom phrasebooks. Subscriptions renew automatically each month or year, meaning recurring charges continue unless you actively cancel before the next billing cycle.
In India, iTranslate subscriptions are sold through three separate purchase channels: the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and the iTranslate website. Your cancellation method and refund eligibility depend entirely on which channel you used to purchase, because Apple, Google and iTranslate each operate independent billing and renewal systems.
Why cancellation matters for indian consumers
Recurring subscription charges represent a significant consumer protection concern in India. Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to cancel any subscription service and receive a refund if you do not actively use the service or if the service provider fails to deliver promised features. Yafee specialises in helping Indian consumers identify and cancel unwanted subscriptions before charges accumulate unnecessarily.

When you should cancel your iTranslate subscription
Cancellation is the right choice if you no longer use the app's premium features, if you have found a free alternative translation service, or if the subscription cost no longer justifies your usage patterns.
Many Indian consumers cancel because they completed their travel, their project ended, or they realised the free version meets their daily translation needs. Annual subscribers often cancel after 2-3 months when the novelty wears off and daily usage drops to zero. Whatever your reason, Yafee guides you through each cancellation method to ensure you stop charges before your next renewal date.
Your legal position under indian consumer law
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 grants Indian consumers explicit protections when cancelling subscriptions and pursuing refunds.
Right to cancel under the consumer protection act, 2019
Section 6(2) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 establishes that consumers have the right to seek redressal against unfair or restrictive trade practices. This includes the right to cancel subscription services that you no longer wish to continue. Furthermore, if iTranslate charges your account after you submit a valid cancellation request, you are entitled to dispute that charge and recover the amount through the consumer forum.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) enforces these rights at the national level. If iTranslate refuses to cancel your subscription or denies a refund without valid reason, you can file a complaint with the CCPA or your state consumer commission.
Refund eligibility within the statutory window
Under e-commerce guidelines applicable in India, subscription services purchased through app stores or websites must honour cancellation requests submitted within the billing cycle. In most cases, if you cancel before your renewal date, you retain access to paid features until that date but incur no further charges. Nevertheless, you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund if you cancel shortly after renewal and did not use the service meaningfully.
Yafee recommends that you document your cancellation request (screenshot the confirmation screen, save email receipts) as evidence if a refund dispute arises.
How to cancel iTranslate through apple app store
If you subscribed using your iPhone, iPad or Apple ID, you must cancel through Apple's Settings app, not inside iTranslate itself.
Step 1: access your subscription settings on apple
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name or Apple ID at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
Step 2: locate and select iTranslate pro
- Scroll through your active subscriptions until you find iTranslate Pro.
- Tap on iTranslate Pro to open its subscription details.
- Note your renewal date and subscription price so you have this information for your records.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose a reason for cancellation from the dropdown menu (optional, but Apple uses this feedback to improve services).
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button.
Critical timing: If you are on a free trial, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the trial expires to prevent Apple from charging your payment method. Apple processes charges on the expiry date if you do not cancel in time.
What happens next: Your Pro features remain active until the end of your current billing period. You are not charged again, and you retain full access to all paid features (offline packs, voice translation, Lens) until your prepaid period ends. After that date, your access reverts to the free version.
How to cancel iTranslate through google play store
Android users cancel their iTranslate subscription inside the Google Play Store app using a process similar to Apple's method.
Step 1: open google play store and access subscriptions
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu.
Step 2: find iTranslate in your active subscriptions
- Tap Subscriptions to view all active subscription services.
- Scroll to find iTranslate and tap on it.
- Review your renewal date, billing amount and current billing cycle status.
Step 3: cancel your subscription through google play
- Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Follow any prompts asking you to confirm your cancellation or provide a reason.
- Tap the final confirmation button to complete the cancellation.
Critical timing: If you are on a free trial, you must cancel before the trial period ends. Check your subscription details to confirm the exact expiry date of your trial.
What happens next: Your subscription remains active through the end of your paid period. You do not lose access to Pro features immediately after cancelling; you retain full access until your prepaid period ends. After that date, you automatically revert to the free version without further action needed.
How to cancel iTranslate through the website
If you purchased or manage your subscription directly at the iTranslate website rather than through an app store, you cancel through your account settings on their website.
Step 1: log in to your iTranslate account online
- Visit the iTranslate website in your web browser.
- Click Log In or My Account at the top of the page.
- Enter your email address and password to access your account.
- If prompted, complete two-factor authentication (if enabled on your account).
Step 2: navigate to subscription or billing settings
- Once logged in, look for Account Settings, My Subscriptions, or Billing in the main menu.
- Click on the section that displays your active subscriptions.
- Locate iTranslate Pro in your subscription list.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request
- Next to iTranslate Pro, select Cancel Subscription or a similar option.
- Confirm your intent to cancel when prompted.
- Some websites display a confirmation message; take a screenshot for your records.
Important note: Website-based cancellations may take up to 24 hours to process. If your renewal date is imminent, consider calling iTranslate's support team directly or submitting your cancellation request at least two days before renewal to ensure it processes in time.
What happens next: Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period. After that date, you lose access to Pro features automatically and revert to the free version. No further charges occur unless you resubscribe.
Once you submit your cancellation request, take three protective steps to ensure the cancellation completes successfully and you are not charged unexpectedly.
Step 1: save your cancellation confirmation
- Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation screen immediately after clicking Cancel.
- If you receive a confirmation email, save this email in a dedicated folder for subscription records.
- Note the cancellation date, your subscription end date and the amount you will no longer be charged.
Step 2: verify your subscription status 48 hours later
- Return to your subscription settings (Apple Settings, Google Play or iTranslate website) two days after cancellation.
- Confirm that your subscription now shows as Cancelled or Inactive.
- Check that no new renewal date has appeared.
Step 3: monitor your bank statement before renewal date
- Check your bank or credit card statement in the week before your previous renewal date.
- Confirm that no iTranslate charge appears on that date.
- If a charge does appear despite your cancellation, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback.
How to request a refund if you were charged after cancellation
If iTranslate or the app store charged your payment method after you submitted a valid cancellation request, you have the right to dispute that charge under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and recover the funds.
Charge-back through your payment provider
- Contact your bank or credit card company immediately upon discovering an unwanted charge.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation screenshot, email receipt or account settings screenshot as evidence.
- Request a chargeback (reversal) of the charge.
- Your bank typically processes chargebacks within 7-14 days and refunds the amount to your account.
Escalation to apple, google or iTranslate support
- If a chargeback is pending or unsuccessful, contact the app store's customer support directly.
- Apple: Visit support.apple.com, select Report a Problem, then request a refund for your iTranslate charge.
- Google Play: Visit support.google.com/googleplay, navigate to Request a refund, and explain that you cancelled before this charge occurred.
- iTranslate (direct purchase): Visit their support page, provide your cancellation confirmation and payment receipt, and request a refund.
- Keep copies of all correspondence with support in a single folder for future reference.
Filing a complaint with the consumer commission
If the app store or iTranslate refuses to refund an erroneous charge after two weeks, you have the right to file a formal complaint with your state consumer commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Yafee recommends gathering all evidence first: your cancellation confirmation, bank statements showing the unwanted charge, screenshots of your subscription settings, and copies of all support correspondence.
Common mistakes when cancelling iTranslate
Cancellation is straightforward, but several mistakes can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges after you thought you had successfully cancelled.
Mistake 1: cancelling inside the app instead of in app store settings
Many users open iTranslate, look for a Cancel button inside the app, and assume they have cancelled their subscription. This is incorrect. iTranslate does not manage subscriptions internally; Apple, Google and iTranslate's website control all subscription billing. Cancelling inside the app does nothing to stop charges. You must cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play Store or the iTranslate website.
Mistake 2: deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Deleting iTranslate from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The recurring charge continues because your payment method is still linked to the subscription in the app store. Always cancel the subscription first, then delete the app if you wish.
Mistake 3: failing to cancel before the trial expires
Free trials on Apple and Google automatically convert to paid subscriptions on the expiry date. If you received a 7-day free trial and do not cancel within those 7 days, you are charged on day 8. Set a phone reminder for day 5 or 6 of your trial period to ensure you cancel in time.
Mistake 4: not saving cancellation confirmation
If you cannot prove you cancelled, you have no evidence if a dispute arises. Take a screenshot immediately after cancelling and save any confirmation emails. This evidence protects you if iTranslate claims you never requested cancellation.
