Simple, Powerful API

One endpoint. Infinite cultural nuance. Get translations that actually sound like a native speaker.

example.ts
import { Dilo } from '@dilo/sdk';


const dilo = new Dilo({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });


const result = await dilo.translate({
  text: "The cat's out of the bag",
  targetLanguage: "es",
  locale: "mx",
  tone: "casual",
  mode: "natural" // or "exact" for literal translation
});


console.log(result.best);
// "Ya se destapรณ el pastel"


console.log(result.alternates);
// ["Ya se supo todo", "Ya saliรณ el peine"]


console.log(result.vibe);
// "Casual way to say the secret is out"

What Makes DILO Different

Every other translation API gives you textbook language. We give you what people actually say.

๐ŸŒŽ

Regional Dialects

Mexican, Argentinian, Colombian, or Castilian Spanish. Brazilian or European Portuguese. Real locale support.

๐ŸŽš๏ธ

Vulgarity Control

None, Light, or Full. Generate authentic profanity โ€” not censor it like everyone else.

๐ŸŽญ

Tone Adjustment

Casual to Formal spectrum. Match your content's voice perfectly.

๐ŸŽฏ

Translation Mode

Natural (default) adapts idioms and expressions. Exact preserves literal meaning when precision matters.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Relationship Context

Stranger, Colleague, Friend, Partner, or Rival. Language adapts to your relationship with the listener.

๐Ÿค

T-V Distinction

Familiar vs formal 'you' across languages: tรบ/vos, tu/vous, du/Sie, ั‚ั‹/ะฒั‹, and more.

๐Ÿ’ก

Cultural Intelligence

Get alternative phrasings, vibe descriptions, and cultural micro-tips with every translation.

The Competition Falls Short

Major translation APIs were built for documents and support tickets. DILO was built for real conversation.

Why the difference?

Other APIs were built to translate documents and enterprise support tickets. They censor profanity because that's what businesses want. DILO was built for authentic human communication โ€” where What's up? translates to ยฟQuรฉ onda? not ยฟQuรฉ pasa?

Built For Real Products

Any app where users actually talk to each other needs translation that doesn't sound robotic.

๐ŸŽฎ

Gaming

In-game chat localization with age-appropriate slang settings

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Social Apps

Authentic message translation for dating apps, messaging platforms

๐ŸŽฌ

Content Creation

YouTube/TikTok script translation that sounds natural

๐ŸŽฌ

Entertainment

Subtitle services that preserve comedic timing and tone

โœˆ๏ธ

Travel Apps

"How would a local actually say this?" โ€” finally answered

๐Ÿ“š

Language Learning

Teach real spoken language, not textbook phrases
