Group chat where every message speaks your language

Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm the maker of Shavely.
After spending over 10 years at global IT companies in Tokyo, I saw firsthand how stressful daily communication was for non-native English speakers — even when English was the common language.
So I started building Shavely as an internal tool to remove that friction. Shavely is a mobile group chat that automatically translates messages into each user's language across 29 languages. When a message arrives, users first see the original text, followed by a rainbow gradient animation that builds anticipation before the message transforms into their language — no manual action required.
Using Shavely internally, we noticed that communication became more natural and inclusive. Later, a hotel room cleaning company with staff from multiple Southeast Asian countries adopted Shavely and reported fewer misunderstandings and smoother task coordination.
The name "Shavely" comes from a Hakata dialect phrase meaning "let's talk," reflecting our belief that conversations should be effortless and stress-free regardless of language.
Today, early users are already using Shavely for work, friendships, and hobby communities across different countries.
How do you handle multilingual communication in your team? I'd love to hear your thoughts 🙏
