Is translation free on Linga Chat?

Free to start

Linga Chat is free to start with no credit card required, and translation is central to how the app works. You can match with a language partner and use translation to keep the conversation flowing while you are still learning, which is exactly what the app is built for.

The translation tools

• Instant message translation in 27 languages inside every chat.
• Simultaneous Translation for live spoken conversations in real time.
• Translation Speaker to read a translation out loud.
• Photo translation to translate printed text in an image.

Why translation is free to start

Translation is not a bolt-on in Linga Chat — it is how the whole app is meant to work. The point is to help you talk with native speakers before you are fluent, so keeping translation available from the start is what makes those first conversations possible. You create a profile, match with a partner, and start chatting with translation right away.

Optional premium extras

You can use Linga Chat and its translation features for free. Optional premium plans add extras such as unlimited translation and more AI language-partner practice, so you only upgrade if you want more. Everything works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows, and no credit card is needed to begin.
