How many languages can Linga Chat translate?

27 languages, every translation tool

Linga Chat translates across 27 languages, and that range applies to all of its translation tools — instant message translation, simultaneous translation for live conversations, reading translations out loud, and translating text in photos. Whatever language your partner speaks among the supported set, you can understand it and reply in your own.

Languages you can translate

• English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese
• Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Dutch and Romanian
• Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Hindi and Bengali
• Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Malay and Filipino
• Turkish, Azerbaijani and Swahili

Translate in any direction

Because translation works between any two of the 27 languages, a learner in one country can chat naturally with a native speaker in another. You are not limited to translating into English — if you speak Turkish and are learning Korean, you translate directly between those two, and the same is true for any pair in the set. This is what makes Linga Chat useful whether you are a beginner leaning on translation to get by or an advanced learner checking a phrase now and then.

It works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows, and it is free to start — so you can translate messages, live speech and photos across all 27 languages without paying to try it.
