Native audio in, native audio out. No text in between — just your voice, naturally translated.
Why nativ translator is different
Pure Audio — No Text Layer
Unlike other translators, we never convert your speech to text first. Your voice goes in as audio and comes out as audio — preserving the natural flow and meaning of what you say.
Hear the Nuances
Tone, emotion, emphasis — traditional translators strip all of that away. nativ translator keeps the subtle nuances of the speaker's voice, so translations sound human, not robotic.
The Fastest Translator Available
Direct audio-to-audio processing powered by Google Gemini Live means near-instant translations. No waiting for speech-to-text-to-text-to-speech — just real-time interpretation at conversation speed.
Context-Aware — Not Word-for-Word
The AI understands what the conversation is about and adapts automatically. A medical discussion gets clinical precision. A technical briefing gets the right jargon. Casual chat stays natural. No rigid literal translation.
AI only — not for critical use. Do not rely on translations for medical, legal, or safety decisions.
Privacy. Voice is processed by Google LLC via cloud AI. We do not store your audio.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is nativ translator?
nativ translator (Native Translator) is a free real-time AI voice translation app. It lets two people speak different languages and instantly hear each other's words translated — no typing, no app download, no account required. Unlike conventional translators, it works entirely with native audio: voice in, voice out.
Why is nativ translator the fastest translator?
Most translators follow a 4-step process: speech to text, text translation, translated text to speech. nativ translator skips the text layer entirely. Your voice is processed directly as audio by Google Gemini Live AI, resulting in near-instant translations at natural conversation speed — making it the fastest real-time translator currently available.
What is Funny Mode?
Funny Mode is a unique feature that adds humor and personality to your translations. Instead of dry, literal translations, the AI interprets your words with a playful, witty twist — perfect for casual conversations, parties, or just having fun with friends across language barriers. Toggle it on in the settings and watch your translations come alive.
Can I choose different voices?
Yes! nativ translator offers multiple AI voices to choose from. Whether you prefer a warm, deep tone or a bright, energetic one — you can select the voice that feels most natural for your conversation. Each voice is powered by Google Gemini and sounds remarkably human and expressive.
Is nativ translator free?
Yes, nativ translator is completely free to use. You only need a Google Gemini API key, which Google provides free of charge. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
Why do I need my own Google API key?
nativ translator is a free, open project with no ads and no in-app purchases. Native audio-to-audio processing through Google Gemini is significantly more expensive than the simple text-based translation other apps use. Passing that cost on to the developer would make a free service impossible. By using your own free Gemini API key, you get unlimited personal use at zero cost — and your data stays between you and Google, with no middleman.
Which languages does nativ translator support?
nativ translator supports 24 languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Swedish, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian.
Does nativ translator store my voice data?
No. Your voice is streamed in real-time to Google LLC via the Gemini Live API for translation, and not retained. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Do I need to download an app?
No download is required. nativ translator runs entirely in your web browser. You can also install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for an app-like experience.
How does nativ translator work?
nativ translator uses Google Gemini's Live AI for simultaneous voice interpretation. Your voice is captured as native audio, sent directly to the AI without any text conversion, and the translated audio comes back in real-time — preserving the natural nuances, tone, and emotion of the original speech.
Does nativ translator understand the topic of conversation?
Yes — this is one of its most powerful advantages. Because it uses Google Gemini's full language model rather than a simple phrase-matching engine, nativ translator understands the context of what is being discussed. A medical conversation automatically uses proper clinical terms. A technical briefing gets the right industry jargon. A legal discussion uses precise legal language. Casual small talk stays natural and colloquial — the AI adapts, not you.
