There is a moment in every mixed-language room that everyone recognises and nobody mentions. Someone is speaking. And one person is watching faces instead of listening to words — nodding at the right times, laughing a half-second late, following the shape of the conversation but not the conversation.
Usually nobody fixes it, because fixing it has always been expensive. An interpreter has to be booked. Headsets have to be handed out. Somebody has to own the problem in advance — and the moment rarely feels big enough to justify that. It's just a Tuesday call, or a Sunday visit, or a dinner where your mother-in-law has been the odd one out for eleven years.
That last one is where we'd start.
Sign in and the first half hour is on us.
What thirty credits is
Open the Speaker tab, sign in with the Apple or Google account already on your phone, and 30 credits land in your wallet. Once per account. No subscription, no card, no code.
That's roughly half an hour of talking — a little less if you're using Conversational Mode.
Like every other credit in your wallet, these never expire. No seven-day window, no trial countdown. Sign in today and if the right conversation doesn't happen until March, they're still there in March.
Three people, three languages, before you pay anything
Signing in gets you more than a demo.
Put your phone on the table between you and someone who doesn't share your language, turn on Conversational Mode, and it works out who is speaking which language and translates both directions as you talk. No push-to-talk. No handing the phone back and forth.
And a third person — your brother in another country, a colleague who couldn't make it — can join with the room code and follow the whole thing in a third language.
And it all runs on the same free credits. A third person joining doesn't cost you extra.
That is the entire idea of yTranslate, running on free credits. What a plan adds is scale: more listeners, longer sessions. What it doesn't add is a different product. You are not evaluating a trimmed-down version. You are evaluating the real one with fewer chairs.
The part worth knowing
Your listener pays nothing and needs no account. They install the app, enter your code, pick their language. That is their entire involvement — no sign-in, no wallet, no subscription, now or later.
Only the speaker's side ever costs anything. That is the whole design: the person who needs the app is the person doing the talking.
How to claim it
Install yTranslate from the App Store or Google Play.
Open the Speaker tab and sign in with Apple or Google.
The credits are in your wallet. Create a room, share the code, start talking.
There is no step four.
What we're not going to pretend
Half an hour is a real trial, not an unlimited one, and one listener is one listener. If you need a room — a class, a congregation, a team — that is a plan, and plans cost money.
What we are confident about is the half hour. It is enough to find out whether this works with your person, in your languages, in the room you are actually in. Nobody can tell you that from a screenshot.
Sign in, share a code, and watch what happens when the quiet one can follow along.
