Translation tools

Can I use Linga Chat as a translator app?

Yes, you can use Linga Chat as a translator app: it translates chat messages, live spoken conversations and text in photos across 27 languages and can read translations out loud, while also connecting you with real native speakers.

A translator built for conversation

Linga Chat works as a translator app, with four tools that cover the situations you actually run into: instant message translation for chats, Simultaneous Translation for live speech, Translation Speaker to hear a phrase out loud, and photo translation for menus, signs and printed text. All of it spans 27 languages.

More than a lookup tool

What sets Linga Chat apart from a plain translator is that it also gives you real people to talk to. You can match with native speakers who are learning your language, so translation is not just a one-off lookup — it keeps a genuine conversation going while you both learn. When no human is around, a 24/7 AI language partner is there to practice with.

Everywhere you need it

  • Traveling — translate signs, menus and quick conversations on the spot.
  • Chatting — understand and reply to messages in another language.
  • Learning — hear translations read aloud to build pronunciation.

So Linga Chat covers the quick lookups a translator app is for, and then goes further by turning them into real practice with real people. Whether you need a fast translation or a partner to talk to, it is the same app. Linga Chat works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows, and it is free to start.
