Chat with family abroad — everyone in their own language

For families spread across countries and languages.

When relatives live overseas and don't all share a language, group chats turn into a relay of half-translations. Espero puts the whole family in one group where each person writes in their own language and reads every message in theirs — so nobody is left out and nobody has to translate for everyone else.

One group, every language

Grandparents, parents and kids can all follow the same conversation. Each message is translated once into every reader's language, so a family of five languages is as easy as a family of one.

Simple enough for everyone

There's nothing to set up — a relative just writes in their own language and reads replies in it. Voice notes are transcribed and translated, which helps anyone who finds typing in a second language tiring, and photos are read and described in your language.

Stay close, not just in touch

Birthdays, news, the little daily messages — they land in everyone's own words. Reactions, replies and photos make it feel like a family group should, with the language barrier quietly removed.

Honest about privacy

Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest on EU servers and used only to deliver and translate them — never sold, never for ads. Translation means the server reads the text, so ordinary chats aren't end-to-end encrypted, and we say so plainly. See the security model.
