Akukita Chat with AI Translation

Akukita Chat with AI Translation adds a fully-featured, multi-room chat to your WordPress site where every message is automatically translated into each participant’s preferred language in real time.

Two users speaking different languages — one in English, one in Spanish — can have a natural conversation without knowing each other’s language. The translation is instant, silent, and cached for performance.
