Bolor-Toli

Bolor-Toli.com launched a mobile app for mastering English, German, Mongolian, Korean, and Japanese. The team faced challenges integrating Mongolian Cyrillic and Traditional Script under Mongolia’s dual-script mandate. Initially prioritizing English and Cyrillic due to limited resources, they later refined the design, incorporating Mongolian script through extensive user testing. The app now offers a seamless experience, with plans to expand into Inner Mongolia.

challenge.

One of the main challenges during the redesign process was balancing new functionality with simplicity. While we planned and explored many new features, it was important to avoid overwhelming existing users and maintain an intuitive experience. Another major challenge was designing for Traditional Mongolian vertical script, as there were very limited UI/UX references and established design guidelines available for this writing system. In addition, the previous version already had a loyal user base, so we focused on creating a smooth transition by introducing improvements gradually rather than making drastic changes that could disrupt familiar user behavior.

results.

The redesign successfully unified the experience across iOS, Android, and web under a single Figma design system, making future updates faster and more consistent. The rebuilt search UX and improved information architecture made the app significantly easier to navigate, especially for users dealing with complex multilingual content. Today, BolorToli serves over 80,000 daily active users and holds its position as Mongolia's most widely used dictionary with 320K+ downloads. The transition was smooth enough that the existing user base barely skipped a beat.
