The AmiChat Demo offers the opportunity to chat online with friends or colleagues that do not speak your same language. The translation is instantaneous and good enough for simple chat exchanges.

The languages supported are English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Italian and Portuguese or in a separate chat room English, Korean and Japanese (Obviously you must have the proper font sets installed to view Korean and Japanese characters).

The demo version allows a normal chat exchange without any particular limitation. Being a demo version open to the public it does not allow you to talk in private (there are only two rooms available) and to avoid that others come to try out the service while you are there. Nonetheless being a demo it is very well worth a try and in some situations it can be a lifesaver right now as it is.

Amichat interface is simple, slick and well designed.
Unobtrusive and simple to understand. Highly usable. There are also number of interesting and useful features not normally found in other chat environments. Among these:

a) emoticons (graphical icons conveying emotional messages)

b) "Huh?" buttons - to let the person know that you did not understand the translated message.

c) flag selection to identify your nationality

d) automatic translation in more than one language

e) Private button - allows private conversation

f) Do not translate button - Enter text in between < >'s to keep parts of your messages from being translated. For example, if you want to say my brother, "Ray," but do not want his name to be translated (as in "ray of light"), you can click this button or type "<Ray>."

To use Amichat insert any user name up to six characters and select the multilingual chat room of your choice.

To get into the service click on the amikai.com home page, next to the word Demos (bottom center), where there is the label "Amichat".
