mahzeh (מה זה) means what is it? in Hebrew. Learning Hebrew, people often use this phrase to ask what this or that word means.
This project is meant to help Ukrainian refugees needing assistance with translation in a new country of residence. Waiting on a bus stop or shopping in a grocery store, they can photograph any text in an unfamiliar language, upload it to the mahzeh app and get a context-relevant translation from locals who can translate to Ukrainian or Russian. Though Google Lens does an amazing job in translating Hebrew to Ukrainian and Russian, it's translation is not context-aware.
