Chat Translate

When I travel to foreign speaking countries, I want to be able to chat with other users so I need a way to translate their messages and so they can translate my english messages.

    As already suggested, download the Google Translate app. It works well with other apps. Yeah you still have to switch back and forth but just by copying text, a button pops up on your screen to tap to translate.

    It's not perfect but will do.

    Also, if you end up meeting the dude, you can speak into the app and it will speak the other language.

    This is a horrible idea. Take Spanish for example. Something may mean something in one country and the exact same phrase will get you in a fight in another country. This could be a liability for Grindr

    Copypaste the messages to translator, what a problem!:)) I speak 6 languages, so you gotta start learning at least something NOW!:))

    I like this idea but as a programmer, I would understand if this feature is not added. It would be reinventing the wheel, because there are tools like GBoard that will translate quickly.

    Just download Gboard keyboard as an app. It translates any language to any other language you want instantly as you type. The translations are spot on too.

    Need this and it will make life easier when travelling.... also one won't have to jump between the grindr and Google translate interfaces when trying to translate each other's texts.

    I would love this feature to teanslate or be able to select which extra i want to purchase at a fraction of cost of upgrade

    Google translate. It can translate text and allows you to write in their dialect. It's even got a speech function for multiple languages

    If you need a translation, if you don't speak the same language there's no point in having any communication at all. Hooking up for *** only is the only option one has with someone who he can't communicate to and that is just sad.
