Protocol is a messaging app that translates languages in real time. For the first time, many people can communicate in different languages and each person will see all the messages translated in their own language automatically. Developed by J.D. Bean and Jeremy Gottfried. This project is unmaintained and is not seeking contributions at this time.

Today we can message people all across the world in real time, yet one of the few remaining communication barriers is spoken language. Protocol makes it possible for people who speak different languages to have conversations in real time. No copying and pasting into Google Translate is required. Every message is translated automatically.
