Transclick is a software service that provides real-time translation of instant messaging, text messaging and e-mail, online or on a mobile phone. This new global messaging and multilingual communications solution creates a new level of global knowledge, accessible at any time, by breaking down language barriers.
In an increasingly interdependent and globally networked world, the ability to enter into a mutually tolerant and respectful dialogue is a vital skill for nations, corporations, communities, and individuals.

At 800 words per second, the process takes at most a couple of seconds, providing seamless integration of real-time translation into instant messaging, SMS, email and more.
