What it is
Purpose built for multilingual school communities: teachers write in English, families read and reply in their home language, and the translation quality handles the idioms school messages are full of. It is free because it is a nonprofit with a mission, not a funnel.
Notable features
- 145 languages
- True two way chat
- Nonprofit built
A way to use it
Use it for positive first contact in week one; the first message home should never be a problem report.
Privacy and accounts
Nonprofit, education only, with district agreements available.
A listing is a starting point, not a district approval. Check your own district's privacy and procurement rules before classroom use. Nobody pays to be listed here, and this link earns no commission.
