BabelMails translates incoming foreign-language email right inside the body, keeps every trade term consistent with a 350+ term glossary, and drafts replies in your mother tongue β AI delivers them in the recipient's language with local business etiquette.
Hey Product Hunters! π We're the makers of BabelMails.
Why we built this: cross-border teams live in their inbox β and lose deals there too. Machine translation gives you words, not manners. The same "Angebot" gets translated three different ways in one thread, your "ASAP" reads as rude in Tokyo, and your German client quietly wonders why you ignored their deadline question.
So we built a mother-tongue email workspace around three things:
π€ Bilingual injection β incoming foreign-language email appears segment-by-segment right inside the body. Switch between original / bilingual / translation-only without leaving your reading flow. 30+ languages.
π A living glossary β 350+ curated trade, logistics and payment terms (MOQ, B/L, T/T, Incotermsβ¦), plus your own custom terms with priority. Every translation and AI reply enforces the same wording, company-wide.
π€ Etiquette-aware replies β draft in your mother tongue; AI delivers it in the recipient's language with local business etiquette. German clients get precision and dates; Japanese clients get the apology before the solution. Three tone presets, sensitive-word check, and β important β AI never sends anything. You review, you hit send.
All your mailboxes in one place (Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail, Yahoo, NetEase 163, QQ), with language distribution, AI usage and time-saved analytics. AI TL;DR summaries come in your mother tongue, whatever language the email is in.
Free plan: 10 translations + 10 AI replies per month, forever, no credit card.
π Roadmap: a browser extension that puts translation and replies directly inside Gmail/Outlook web is next. We'd love your feedback β especially on pricing and which country etiquette presets you want added first.
