Three tones for every message
You don't say the same thing to a friend and a client. The card gives you all three:
| Tone | “Can we move the meeting to Monday?” |
|---|---|
| Casual | ¿Podemos pasar la reunión al lunes? |
| Work | ¿Podemos mover la reunión al lunes? |
| Formal | ¿Sería posible trasladar la reunión al lunes? |
Tú or usted?
Spanish has two ways to say “you”. Tú is for friends, family, coworkers your age and most chats; usted is for clients, older people and anyone you'd call “sir” or “ma'am”. The casual and work tones use tú; the formal tone uses usted, so picking a tone also picks the right “you”.
Where to use it
- WhatsApp and Telegram: quick messages to Spanish-speaking friends, family or coworkers.
- Email: the formal tone works for clients, landlords and job applications.
- Slack and Teams: the work tone sounds natural without being stiff.
- Social media and comments: write in English, post in Spanish.
On the web and on your computer
This page works in any browser, including on your phone. The Mac and Windows app brings the same card to every app: type in the chat or email, pause, and press Tab to replace. No copy and paste. That's the difference from phone translator keyboards, which only work on the phone.
Which Spanish?
Translations use neutral Latin American Spanish, understood from Mexico to Argentina and in the US. Spain uses the same written Spanish with some differences: vosotros for “you all” (Latin America uses ustedes everywhere) and some vocabulary, like ordenador vs computadora or coche vs carro. A message in neutral Latin American Spanish reads fine in Spain.
Also the other way, and to polish English
- Spanish → English: type Spanish (accents optional) and get English in three tones, plus your Spanish with accents.
- Polish English: type English however it comes out and get a natural version without grammar mistakes.

How good is the translation?
It uses a language model that translates the meaning of the whole sentence, not word by word, so it handles phrases like “let me know” or “no worries”. For legal or medical documents, always have a person check.
