Chatting with someone who speaks another language

· WhatsApp

Whether it’s a colleague, a customer or a new relative, chatting across languages is easier when each of you can write in your own.

The simple way

  1. Their message arrives — copy it into SayFlick and translate it.
  2. Write your answer in your language.
  3. Translate it into theirs and send it with Send to WhatsApp or copy and paste it into any chat.

Voice notes

If they prefer voice notes, the voice-note translator turns them into text in your language.

Keep it clear

  • Short sentences translate best.
  • Avoid slang and idioms — they’re often translated word for word.
  • If something sounds strange, ask; it may be the translation, not the person.
