Hashti
Live translation

Every room, every chat, in the language you read.

Pick your language once, in Settings. From then on, a message written in any other language shows up in yours as it arrives, with the original a tap away. The person writing sees nothing different at all.

How it works

One setting. Then nothing to do.

Somebody writes in Spanish; you read it in English; the person next to you reads it in Persian. Each of you sees the message in your own language the moment it lands, and "Translated from Spanish · See original" underneath it.

  • Rooms and private chats alike, the history you open as well as what arrives while you are there.
  • Edited, translated again. A message that changes gets a fresh translation; a deleted one takes its translations with it.
  • Already in your language? Then nothing changes, and nothing is sent anywhere.
  • On tap, too. With live translation off, any single message can still be translated with a tap.
  • Part of Hashti Plus, $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with writing help and catch-ups alongside it.

What goes where. A message you can already see, to Anthropic's model, to be translated — and never a secret chat, never a message from somebody either of you blocked. The translation is kept with the message for everyone reading in that language, so it is made once, and it is deleted when the message is. It is all in the privacy notice.

Questions

About translation

Is the translation any good?
It is done by an AI model that keeps the tone — slang stays slang, a joke stays a joke, and names, @handles and links stay exactly as they are. It can still be wrong, which is why the original is always one tap away and marked with the language it was written in.
Does it cost anything?
Live translation is part of Hashti Plus: $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, through the App Store, Google Play or a card on the web, cancelled any time. Plus covers about 250 translated messages a day for each person — more than most people read — and past that, messages stay as they were written until the next day. Everything else on Hashti is free.
Can the person I am talking to tell?
No. The translation is made for you and the other people reading in your language; the writer sees their message as they wrote it, and nothing tells them it was translated.
What is never translated?
Secret chats — the server cannot read them, so it cannot translate them. Messages from somebody you blocked, or who blocked you. Your own messages. Stickers, links and emoji on their own. And a translation that would say something the filter would not let anybody type is not shown at all.
The doors are open

Hashti is out on iPhone. Android is next.

Download on the App Store

Android is in its closed test. Leave an address and you get one email the day it opens on Google Play — nothing else, ever, and it is deleted once that email is sent.

You are on the list. See you at the door.
