Hey Product Hunters !
I built RealTranslate after a frustrating trip to China where every translation tool I relied on (Google Translate, DeepL, even some VPNs) stopped working the moment I landed.
The idea is simple: a translation tool that just works, everywhere, without requiring an app download or a technical setup.
A few things I'm particularly proud of:
- Voice-to-voice translation using Whisper, directly in the browser
- Live video subtitles during calls (no Zoom plugin needed)
- End-to-end encrypted chat where each participant reads messages in their own language
- Automatic DeepSeek fallback for users inside China, where OpenAI is also unreachable
It's been a solo build — Next.js, PostgreSQL, WebRTC, deployed in France for EU data residency.
I'd love your feedback, especially from anyone who's traveled to China or works with international teams. What features would make this indispensable for you?
Try it free at realtranslate.me — no account needed for text translation.
Enjoy ! Thanks ! ;)
