Ledger is commonly pronounced /ˈledʒər/. For Chinese-language conversation, a practical approximation is close to “Lai-jer.” As a common English word, ledger can mean an account book. As a brand name, Ledger should usually stay in English, followed by “hardware wallet” or “Ledger Wallet” when the listener needs context.
The basic English sound
Ledger has two syllables, with stress on the first syllable. The second syllable should be lighter, not stretched into several sounds. For a closer pronunciation reference, use Ledger Pronunciation Guide and compare the stress pattern rather than memorizing a forced spelling.
A natural Chinese explanation
In a Chinese conversation, it is usually enough to say that Ledger is a hardware wallet brand and that the name is roughly pronounced “Lai-jer.” If the listener already knows the brand, keep the English name. If they are hearing it for the first time, add “Ledger Wallet app” or “hardware wallet” after the name.
Brand name and common word are different
The lowercase English word can refer to a ledger or account book, but the brand name should not be translated every time it appears. When writing notes, product descriptions, or a script, write Ledger first and add the pronunciation once. The meaning background in What Does “Ledger” Mean? can help keep the two uses separate.
How to say model names
Say the brand name first, then the model or product line: Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Stax, and Ledger Flex. Keep the model name in English and add a short note that it is the device name. This keeps pronunciation content separate from model-selection advice.

A good one-sentence version is: “Ledger, roughly pronounced Lai-jer in Chinese conversation, is a hardware wallet brand.” After that, add Ledger Wallet or a model name only when the context needs it.
