More about one-on-one
Language settings
- The first language pair depends on your LINE app's language. If it is in English or Japanese, it starts as Japanese ⇄ English, so if you write English and your partner writes Japanese, it works without changing anything (in another supported language, it starts as that language ⇄ Japanese). If your LINE app is in a language AI翻訳 does not support, or if you started using AI翻訳 in a group or elsewhere first, it is Japanese ⇄ English. You can change it in settings at any time.
- “Menu” is at the bottom of your chat with AI翻訳. Tap “Settings” to open settings (the first time, LINE asks for permission; please allow it to continue).
- In settings, choose “My Language” and “Partner's Language”, then tap “Save”. There are 30 languages to choose from.
- e.g. To talk with a Thai speaker, set “My Language” to “🇺🇸 English” and “Partner's Language” to “🇹🇭 ภาษาไทย”.
- You can also open settings with “⚙️ Settings” under a translation.
- Send the language you want, like “Translate to Thai”, and a button to switch appears. Simply tap it (it does not appear if that language is already set; for Chinese, “Translate to Traditional Chinese” or “Translate to Simplified Chinese”).
- If you write in a language other than Japanese or English while it is still Japanese ⇄ English, a button to switch to it may also appear (once a day at most).
- You can also change it by sending
/set en ja. - Until you send your first message, the menu may be in Japanese. After that, it follows your LINE app's language.
Translation direction
- Messages in your partner's language are detected automatically and translated into your language.
- Messages in any other language are translated into your partner's language.

Data handling and translation accuracy
- Text, voice and images you translate are sent to external AI providers (Google, OpenAI) for translation and may be processed on servers outside Japan.
- One-on-one translation history is saved only if you turn on “Save Conversation Log” in settings (off by default). Even when it is off, the latest translation may be kept temporarily, for up to 30 minutes, so you can save a note or report a mistranslation.
- Please do not send confidential or personal information.
- AI translates by meaning, but accuracy is not guaranteed and mistranslations can occur. For important matters such as medical, legal, contract or safety topics, please have it checked by a professional. Please report any translation that seems wrong with “❌ Report Error”.

FAQ
- I would like to contact you
- In your one-on-one chat with AI翻訳, open the menu and tap “Contact” to open the contact page. AI answers first, and if that does not solve it, our staff will reply to you in the chat. You can also email us (info@aihonyaku.jp), even if you have not added AI翻訳 as a friend.
- Can it translate voice messages?
- With the PRO plan or the free trial, voice messages in one-on-one chats are transcribed and translated. They are also translated in PRO groups (groups sponsored by someone with PRO or a free trial).
- Can I cancel PRO at any time?
- Yes. Please cancel from “Manage Plan” in settings before your next renewal. You can keep using PRO features until the end of the billing period.
- Is there a referral bonus?
- When a friend who has never received a referral bonus sends your referral code to AI翻訳 and applies it, you both get 30 more days of free PRO features. The 30 days count from the end of any free period you already have, otherwise from the day it is applied. You cannot refer yourself, and each person can receive it only once. Paid plans keep the same billing amount and renewal date.
