Business calls across languages
SaviChat translates business video calls, voice calls, and messages in real time in 70+ languages, so a supplier, client, or colleague can speak their own language and you can speak yours without hiring an interpreter for every conversation.
Where it fits
It is well suited to the recurring, medium-stakes conversations that make up most cross-border work: a check-in with a supplier, a scoping call with a contractor, a support conversation with a customer, day-to-day coordination with a colleague in another office. These are the calls that are too frequent to book an interpreter for and too important to conduct in broken English.
Captions during calls help when accents are heavy or the line is poor, and give both sides something to read back rather than asking a third time.
Where it does not fit
Contract negotiation, anything with legal exposure, regulated disclosures, and formal proceedings need a professional human interpreter. Machine translation is confident even when it is wrong, and in a negotiation that is a liability rather than a convenience. Use it for the working conversation and bring a human in for the moments that bind you.
Getting the other side on
Counterparties often will not install an app for one call. A guest link opens a translated conversation in their browser — no account, no download — which is usually the difference between the call happening and the call becoming an email thread.
What SaviChat does not do
- No offline mode — live translation needs an internet connection on both sides.
Common questions
Can you have a business video call in two different languages?
Yes. SaviChat translates video and voice calls in real time, so each participant speaks their own language and hears the other's, with optional captions. It supports 70+ languages and works on phones, Mac, Windows, and the web.
Is machine translation good enough for business?
For routine working conversations — coordination, updates, scoping, support — it is generally good enough, especially with captions to catch anything unclear. For contracts, negotiations, regulated disclosures, or legal proceedings, use a professional human interpreter. Machine translation does not flag its own uncertainty.
Does the other person need an account?
No. You can send a link that opens a translated conversation, including calls, in their browser with no account and no install.
Which languages are supported?
70+, including Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Turkish, Polish, and Arabic.
