How to translate a conversation live with MyPA

Live translate listens as people talk and speaks the translation aloud. Choose what you hear and, if you like, what they hear, then start translating.

What you need

  • MyPA on your phone
  • Headphones if you have them
  • Tokens: Live translate is charged per minute while it runs
Live translate in MyPA: choose what you hear and what they hear, then start translating
Choose what you hear and what they hear.

Step by step

  1. Open Live translate

    MyPA works out which language is being spoken by itself, so there is nothing to set for the other person.

  2. Choose what you hear

    Pick the language you want to hear the conversation in.

  3. Choose what they hear

    Pick a language to translate your side too, or leave it on "No one" to just listen.

  4. Start translating

    Keep your device between you both. MyPA speaks the translation aloud as people talk.

  5. Translate a chat too

    To read a whole conversation in your language, translate it in the chat in one tap.

Good to know

Use headphones. With headphones, the microphone won't pick up the translation, so the conversation flows better.

Know the cost. Live translate is charged per minute while it runs.

Quick answers

Can both people hear a translation?

Yes. Choose a language for "They hear" and your side is translated too.

Do I need to say which language they speak?

No. MyPA works out which language is being spoken by itself.

How is it charged?

Per minute while it runs, from your MyPA token balance.
