Translation tools

What translation features does Linga Chat have?

Linga Chat has four translation tools: instant message translation in 27 languages inside chat, Simultaneous Translation for live spoken conversations, Translation Speaker to read a translation out loud, and photo translation for text in images.

Four ways to break the language barrier

Linga Chat brings four translation tools into one app, each for a different situation, all across the 27 languages it supports.

  • Instant message translation — when a partner writes in their language, you read it in yours in the same chat, and reply in your own language.
  • Simultaneous Translation — translates a live spoken conversation in real time, so two people who do not share a language can still talk.
  • Translation Speaker — reads a translation out loud so you can hear the pronunciation and practice saying it.
  • Photo translation — reads printed text from your camera or gallery and translates it, handy for menus, signs and labels.

Made for real conversation

These tools work together with Linga Chat's language-partner matching, live rooms and AI language partner, so you can go from a translated message to a live conversation without switching apps. Typed chat, spoken conversation, printed text and pronunciation are each covered by a tool built for that job, which means the language barrier rarely stops you no matter how you are communicating. Everything spans 27 languages and runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows. Linga Chat is free to start, so you can try all four translation tools before choosing any premium plan.
