Getix Translate for families: Q&A
What is Getix Translate for families?
An AI translator for international couples and their families: live captions in each person’s language at the dinner table and on video calls on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. 60 languages, up to five at once depending on the plan. It is for people who already know each other: we do not introduce anyone. Run from Valencia, Spain, under the GDPR, the EU data protection law: accounts and transcripts are stored in the EU.
Can it translate a video call with my partner’s parents live?
Yes. When the call runs on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, send the Getix Translate bot: it joins under its own name, listed with the participants, and you admit it like any guest. For a call in your browser, pick its tab instead. Send the captions link to the family, and each person reads in their own language. Regular phone calls are not translated.
Do my partner’s parents need an app or an account?
No. Send the link in the family chat, or show it on your screen. They open it on their phone, tablet or laptop, pick their language and read along. No account, nothing to install, and they can make the text bigger with A+.
How well does it translate a family conversation?
Well enough to follow dinner and the Sunday call, not well enough to sign anything on. Names, nicknames, jokes and numbers are where AI slips, which is why the original always stays on your screen next to the translation, and why you can load family names into your glossary. For the civil ceremony, a doctor or a court, book a qualified interpreter. It is not a substitute for a certified or sworn interpreter where one is required.
How do I talk to my partner’s parents if they don’t speak English?
Put one phone between you, and keep learning their language: it means a lot that you try. You speak, they read it in theirs; they answer, you read it in yours. The original sits next to the translation on your screen, so you pick up words as you talk. And your partner can just enjoy the dinner.
Where does our conversation go?
To our speech providers, to become text and translation. It does not go to a human, and we do not train AI models on your meetings. What kinds of providers we use, which region they run in and how long anything is kept is on our privacy page.
