## Description

Rakkan is a chat app for two people who don&#39;t share a language. It translates every message, and your live video-call captions, between your language and your partner&#39;s, so you can just talk.<br><br>I built it for me &amp; my girlfriend. She writes me in Thai, which I can&#39;t read, and I was stuck in the same loop every day: copy her message, translate it, read it, write back, translate again, paste. Our whole chat history sat in a language I couldn&#39;t understand. Google Translate didn&#39;t help much, it translates the words but not the meaning, the tone, or who you are to each other.<br><br>So Rakkan keeps your relationship in every message. Your nicknames, your tone, the way you two talk. And before anything sends, it shows you a read-back, your message translated straight back into your own words, so you always know how it will land. No more guessing.<br><br>On a video call, every sentence shows up as a live translated caption while you speak. No app-switching, no typing.<br><br>What you get:<br>• Real-time translation, both ways, right in your chat<br>• A read-back on every message, so you trust what you sent<br>• Live translated captions on video calls<br>• A glossary that keeps your pet names and in-jokes intact<br>• Photos, voice notes, reactions, replies, the whole chat<br>• 7 languages today: English, Thai, Khmer, Lao, German, Italian, Slovak, across any pair<br><br>The first chat is free, no card needed. Rakkan is made for long-distance and cross-language couples, though families, expats and travellers love it too.<br><br>Speak from the heart. We&#39;ll handle the translation.
