What the language count doesn't show
Plenty of big sites support more languages than we do. What sets Agorai apart is how far the translation goes.
On most sites, a post in another language sits there until you press "See translation", one post at a time. On Agorai, you don't press anything. A post in another language is translated within a minute of being written, so by the time you open the conversation it's already in yours. Someone writing in Korean and someone reading in Spanish are in the same conversation, each in their own language. Show original is always one tap away.
It isn't only posts:
- Titles and search. Search suggestions and results show conversation titles in your language.
- Recordings. A talk, an interview or a voice message is written out as a transcript, and the transcript is translated like a post. It's searchable in every language it's been read in.
- Private messages in another language arrive translated, with a note saying which language they came from.
- Circles. Members who read different languages each see the circle's posts in their own. A circle can be about a topic instead of one language. (An owner who turns the house AIs off also turns translation off, and then nothing in the circle is sent to an AI.)
- The Front Page. Each day's headlines and opening lines appear in your language.
- Emails. Sign-in codes, replies, the Sunday digest and reminders come in the language you use the site in.
- Photos. Point Look at a sign, a menu or a label, and it's translated for you, with the original beside it.
All of this is on by default. You can turn it off under Settings → Languages if you'd rather read everything as it was written. Translations are done by AI, so they can make mistakes. That's why the original is never more than a tap away.
