How is it with safety? I reckon that it has access to the content. Does the other side (provider) see what I can see? :D

@busmark_w_nika Hello, thank you for your message!
No, we do not have access to user information.
The user can see the source of the translations, but not the content.
The tool is based in Europe, and is therefore subject to European security regulations.

@wilson_kraemer Thank you for clarification :)
Bridgely
@busmark_w_nika You're welcome, Nika.
If you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them :)
how does it deal with informal language or regional slang? That’s usually where most tools mess up.
Bridgely
@hamza_afzal_butt Absolutely, handling informal language and regional slang is a real challenge for most translation tools.
At Bridgely, we’ve tackled this head-on: before translating, our technology analyzes the sentence in its context to pick up on tone, idiomatic expressions, and local quirks.
That way, the translation stays true not just to the meaning, but also to the intent and the original style.
We also pay close attention to the tone of the message, so the translation doesn’t come off as too literal or miss the vibe of the conversation.
That’s what really makes a difference in informal chats, where every nuance matters.
@hamza_afzal_butt @wilson_kraemer I've actually noticed that translation tools these days are getting better and better at understanding regional slang now that they're making use of LLMs. Wilson, can I ask which translation service you're using for this?

Hey there, glad to see your message!
Thanks for your question.
Bridgely uses Gemini, both for outgoing messages and incoming translations. Gemini is recognized as one of the leading solutions for translation: it delivers precise, natural, and context-aware translations, while preserving the original tone and nuances of your message.
Looks good! I believe it automatically identifies languages on both sides and accordingly communicates? What about 3-way chats?
Bridgely
@manu_goel2 Absolutely!
The tool offers an automatic mode. For conversations in multiple languages, it’s helpful to switch languages as you go using the small modal, especially if everyone is speaking their own language.
If your friends or colleagues are also on Bridgely, you can easily pick a target language.
That way, you can write in your native language, and your message will automatically be sent in the language your recipients prefers making communication smooth for everyone!
This is such a cool concept! How does Bridgely handle language nuances or slang that might come up in informal chats?

@evgenii_zaitsev1
Hey, thanks for your message!
We rely on AI not only to grasp the core meaning of the text, but also to handle the translation itself.
The system recognizes tone, slang, and abbreviations, ensuring translations stay true to the original and preserve the flow of the conversation.
Congratulations for this interesting product !
How Bridgely can adapt translations with auto-detect mode if I am not speaking in a formal way? I’m really impressed
Bridgely
@manon8 Thank you for your message! Bridgely uses AI to detect the language, even if you use slang or abbreviations. Don’t worry! Your text will be translated faithfully, preserving the same tone and the natural flow of the conversation.
I can only see instructions on setting up the Chrome Extension (look neat!). but how would this work in slack?
Bridgely
@mazen_elkashef Hey, thanks for your message!
For Slack, you only need to install the extension, create your account, fill in your API on the extension and you're done!
Go to Slack, write, and it will translate!
You've got a little modal to manage the target language, and you can also activate or deactivate Bridgely with one click!
@wilson_kraemer Oh do you mean that it works with Slack as a web app (using the chrome extension) so there is no integration with Slack as a desktop app (using mac if it makes any difference)?
