Translate messages on your deviceNew

Read and write chats in other languages, without your words leaving your device.

Where your browser can translate on your own device, Pinglar can translate messages for you. Your messages never leave your device for this: nothing goes to us or to a translation service. Where the browser can't do it, the options don't appear.

  • Translate, in a message's menu, shows the translation under the message. It appears for messages in languages you don't read, worked out on your device. Very short messages it can't place, like "ok", don't offer it. Show original hides it again, and Wrong language? lets you say which language it's in.
  • Always translate turns it on for that language in that chat.
  • Translate before sending, in the send options, shows you the translation to check and change before it goes.
  • Choose the languages you read in Settings, Pinglar and calls.

The first time you translate between two languages, your browser may need a moment to get ready.
