Chat with family abroad — everyone in their own language

For families spread across countries and languages.

When relatives live overseas and don't all share a language, group chats turn into a relay of half-translations. Espero puts the whole family in one group where each person writes in their own language and reads every message in theirs — so nobody is left out and nobody has to translate for everyone else.

One group, different languages

Adult relatives across generations can follow the same conversation while each person reads a translation in their selected language. The original message remains one tap away.

Simple enough for everyone

Each relative chooses a reading language when setting up their account. After that they can write in their own language and read translated replies in the selected language. Voice notes can be transcribed and translated, and image tools can translate or describe photo content.

Stay close, not just in touch

Birthdays, news, the little daily messages — they land in everyone's own words. Reactions, replies and photos make it feel like a family group should, with the language barrier quietly removed.

Honest about privacy

Cloud-chat content is encrypted in transit and at rest on EU-hosted app servers and processed for delivery and translation. Eligible cloud messages may also receive semantic-search embeddings while that server feature is enabled; relevant eligible content is processed for AI features requested by an authorised participant. Content is not sold or used for advertising. Because cloud features require server-side processing, ordinary chats are not end-to-end encrypted. See the security model.

Frequently asked

How can I chat with family abroad across languages?

Put the family in one Espero group — each person writes their own language and reads every message in theirs, with voice notes and photos translated too.

Is it simple enough for older relatives?

Each person selects a reading language during setup. They can then write in their own language and read translated replies in the selected language; voice notes help anyone who finds typing harder.

Can the whole family share one multilingual group?
