Chat in Every Language
A chat app with automatic, invisible translation. Messages arrive in each person's language. No buttons. No copy-paste. Just conversation.
How It Works
No settings to configure, no buttons to press. Just chat like you normally do.
When you sign up, choose the language you read in. That's it. One choice.
Write in your language. Your message is translated instantly and invisibly for the other person.
Each person sees every message in their own language. Like the conversation was always in one language.
Features
Hiola works like the messaging apps you already use, but everyone reads in their language.
Messages to a 7-year-old use simple words. Messages to a grandparent feel warm and respectful. The tone adapts automatically.
English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, and Ukrainian. More coming soon.
One group, many languages. Everyone writes in theirs, everyone reads in theirs. Family group chats finally make sense.
Share photos from your camera or library. Captions get translated too, so the moment is understood by everyone.
Languages
No flags. No politics. Just languages, displayed the way their speakers write them.
Why Hiola Exists
My parents speak Russian and live in Israel. My kids speak English and live in New Jersey. Every family dinner over video is a juggling act of languages. I built Hiola so my mom can text my daughter goodnight -- and my daughter can actually read it.
