A chat app that translates messages for you
Conversations across languages should feel like talking to a neighbor. Zado translates incoming messages into your language automatically, so a chat with someone on the other side of the world reads as naturally as a chat next door.
100+ languages
Translation covers 100+ languages — far beyond the handful most messengers support.
Automatic & instant
Incoming messages are translated as they arrive. Turn translation on or off any time in settings.
Built for real conversations
Powered by modern AI translation, tuned for everyday, natural chat — not robotic word-for-word.
Your messages aren't stored
Message content is removed from our servers shortly after it's delivered. Privacy by design.
Who it's for
Long-distance relationships across languages. Families spread across countries. Friends you met while travelling. Working with people abroad. If you and the other person don't share a language, Zado closes the gap — for both of you, at the same time.

Why Zado for cross-language chat
Most apps make you copy text into a separate translator, or only support a few languages. Zado builds translation into the conversation itself — and adds live captions for calls, too.
