You write in your language. They read in theirs. Nobody taps a translate button. MiLa Chat translates messages right on your device using Apple's on-device technology. Nothing is sent to a server to be translated, it works offline, and it costs nothing. THREE SIDES OF ONE IDEA Read — incoming messages in another language appear in yours. One tap shows the original. Write — as you type, you see the translation into your recipient's language, and you can edit it before sending. Listen — turn a voice message into text with one tap, then that text gets translated too. A Japanese voice note becomes readable in your language.
