For expats, travelers and international friends

Keep talking in your own language

Learning a new language takes years; your conversations can't wait that long. With Oralingo you write or speak in your language, the other person reads it in theirs, and their replies come back translated for you.

Who uses it

• Expats and newcomers. Chat with neighbors, your landlord, your children's teachers or the other parents while you are still learning the language.
• Hosts and guests. Host families, exchange students and holiday-rental hosts can sort out the details without a phrase book.
• Friends from abroad. Keep a friendship going after the trip, even if the only language you shared was hand signs.
• International colleagues. Quick one-to-one messages and calls with people who are more comfortable in their own language.

The other person needs Oralingo too

Oralingo translates conversations between Oralingo users, so the other person needs the app as well. Send them an invite link from the app: it takes them to the App Store or Google Play and connects the two of you once they have signed up.

Good to know

• Oralingo needs an internet connection to translate.
• It is built for one-to-one conversations, not group chats.
• You can check the original text of any message, which is a handy way to pick up the local language.
• Calls come with live translated captions. How call translation works.
