Flipchat

Flipchat is a mobile app that automatically translates WhatsApp conversations without leaving the WhatsApp interface. It stays synced with a user's existing WhatsApp account: incoming messages are translated into the user's chosen language, and outgoing messages are translated into the recipient's language before sending. Users can tap a message to see its original, untranslated text, or double-tap to view an entire conversation in its original language. The app uses the Matrix Protocol to keep communication end-to-end encrypted, and its developer states that a feature for translating voice messages is planned but not yet available. Flipchat is available for iOS and Android as a free download, and the site does not list any subscription or premium pricing tiers. It is aimed at people who use WhatsApp for business, travel, or international friendships and want to converse without both sides speaking a shared language. Because it depends on translating messages automatically rather than a human reviewing them, accuracy for idioms, slang, or nuanced phrasing is likely to vary, a common limitation of automated message translation that the site itself does not address directly.
