Read chats across languages without uploading message text — Google ML Kit runs on your phone. Long-press for a one-off, or turn on Premium auto-translate in the bubble.

Introduction

Cross-language chats without a cloud translator.

Buzzio translate sits on top of messaging you already use. Open a message menu for a one-off translation, or enable Premium auto-translate so incoming text shows a translation under the original. Language packs download once; after that, translation stays on this device.

We do not route your chat text through a Buzzio translation server. Packs come from ML Kit; translations stay on your phone.

Why Buzzio is best for translate

On-device ML Kit

Powered by Google ML Kit — translations stay on device after the language pack is installed.

One-off or auto

Long-press / overflow Translate anytime. Premium auto-translate fills incoming text in the bubble.

From and To

Set source and target languages in Translation settings — download packs when the app asks.

Works with sealed chat

Decrypt first, translate locally. Buzzio never needs a plaintext copy for a translation API.

Honest Premium gate

One-off translate remains available; continuous auto-translate is a Premium perk — labeled clearly.

Text, not every media

Auto-translate targets incoming text — not every GIF caption or sticker label.

What you get

  • One-off Translate
  • Premium auto-translate
  • From / To languages
  • On-device packs
  • In-bubble result
  • 1:1 and supported chats

How it works

How to use

  1. Open a chat

    Start in a 1:1 (or another surface that offers Translate in the message menu).

  2. One-off translate

    Open the message menu and choose Translate. Download a language pack if the app asks.

  3. Set From and To

    Open Translation settings, pick source and target languages, and add packs as needed.

  4. Turn on auto-translate

    With Premium, enable auto-translate so incoming text translates in the bubble.

One-off vs auto-translate

One-off Translate

  • Message menu → Translate
  • Available without continuous auto mode
  • Needs a language pack on device
  • Great for occasional bubbles

Auto-translate

  • Premium perk
  • Incoming text in the bubble
  • Requires From and To set
  • Not every media caption

On-device ML Kit

Translation uses Google ML Kit language packs on the phone. The first download needs network; after that, translating a decrypted message does not send that text to Buzzio for translation. Packs need free space — if install fails, free storage and retry from Translation settings.

Powered by Google ML Kit · translations stay on device.

Boundaries

Premium

Auto-translate is a Buzzio Premium perk, alongside schedule send and voice-to-text. Restore purchases if you already subscribed and the toggle is missing. One-off Translate still needs packs; it is not a cloud archive of your chat history.

What translate does not mean

It is not a human interpreter. It does not auto-translate every media type. Pack download needs network the first time. And ML Kit quality varies by language pair — treat sensitive legal or medical wording carefully.

Tips

  • Set both From and To before expecting auto-translate to run
  • Retry pack download on a stable network if install fails
  • Use one-off Translate when you only need a single bubble
  • Pair with voice-to-text when the hard part is hearing, not reading
