About

Hi Translate is an Android translation app, developed by TexAI, designed to remove language barriers in everyday chats, calls, meetings, travel, and study. It supports more than 137 languages, with particular depth in African and South Asian languages such as Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Swahili, Urdu, Bengali, and Thai that many competing apps do not cover.

The developer states that Hi Translate is used by more than 500 million people and ranked first in the WMT25 low-resource Indic language translation evaluation organized by ACL. On Google Play it holds a 4.5-star rating from over 620,000 reviews.
