How to start a translated chat in Swaeve Talk

Chat with anyone in your own language; they read it in theirs.

  1. Open Talk and tap New chat.
  2. Type the person's phone number, email or @username.
  3. If they're on Swaeve, the chat opens straight away. If not, Swaeve offers to invite them.
  4. Type in your language. They read it in theirs, and their replies arrive in yours.

Tap a message to see the original words.

Translation only happens when you don't share a language.

Pick your own username in Settings → Profile so friends can find you by typing @yourname. Only the exact username finds you.
