Travel
Live translation guides for the places you actually go.
27 destinations across 14 countries, one page each. The language situation on the ground, the conversations metcha makes possible, and the specific moments where having a translator in your earbud changes the shape of the trip. New cities are added as we travel them.
Italy
-
Rome
Italian ↔ English
Italian opens up the Rome you actually came for — the family trattorias, the neighborhood markets, the off-itinerary museums.
-
Florence
Italian ↔ English
The Duomo crowd speaks English. The Oltrarno artisans, Sant'Ambrogio vendors, and trattoria hosts mostly don't.
-
Venice
Italian ↔ English
Off the San Marco track, Venice is a small Italian town: bacari, cicchetti counters, and locals who appreciate the effort.
-
Milan
Italian ↔ English
Italy's most international city still runs its daily life in Italian: aperitivo bars, Navigli haunts, and the tailor's back room.
Spain
-
Barcelona
Spanish ↔ English
Spanish opens most doors, Catalan opens a few more. metcha handles Spanish ↔ English live in either direction.
-
Madrid
Spanish ↔ English
Madrid is less rehearsed for tourists than Barcelona, and prouder of its Spanish. metcha gets you into the real tabernas.
-
Seville
Spanish ↔ English
Seville's Spanish is fast, clipped, and famously hard on learners. metcha hears the Andalusian accent so you don't have to.
-
Palma de Mallorca
Spanish ↔ English
The resort strips run in English and German. The Palma locals actually live in runs in Spanish and Catalan.
France
-
Paris
French ↔ English
Try in French first; Parisians notice. metcha lets you keep trying even when the conversation gets specific.
-
Lyon
French ↔ English
France's gastronomic capital does its talking in French. metcha gets you a seat at the table, not just a menu.
-
Nice
French ↔ English
The Promenade speaks English. The market stalls, the socca lines, and the hill villages behind Nice mostly don't.
Japan
-
Tokyo
Japanese ↔ English
English is uneven outside the major tourist zones. metcha closes the gap with a single shared earbud.
-
Kyoto
Japanese ↔ English
Temple custodians, machiya hosts, and kappo chefs — Kyoto rewards talking with people. metcha makes the talking work.
-
Osaka
Japanese ↔ English
Japan's friendliest, bluntest city wants to talk to you, mostly in Japanese. metcha keeps up with the chatter.
Germany
Mexico
Romania
Argentina
Austria
Canada
