Rimo LLC (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Naoyoshi Aikawa; hereinafter Rimo) has officially launched "Rimo Slack Translator," a Slack app that automatically translates messages on Slack into 25 major world languages in real-time.
In today's globalized workplaces, there is an increasing number of situations where members who use different languages, such as Japanese-English or Japanese-Chinese, work together in the same Slack channel. Previously, the task of manually copying a message, translating it with a separate tool, and sharing it again created several minutes of work per post, undermining the speed of information sharing.
"Rimo Slack Translator" automatically translates messages received on Slack in real-time into 25 languages, covering major world languages such as Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, and Hindi. It can be added to a Slack workspace with a single click, and its privacy-focused design, which does not store any translated message content, allows for same-day implementation even in companies that handle confidential information.
Rimo, the provider, also utilizes this function internally with its teams in Japan and India. By translating a cumulative total of over 1 million characters, they have reduced the time spent on cross-language communication by 3 to 6 hours per day.
1. Three Features of "Rimo Slack Translator"
Rimo Slack Translator is characterized by its ease of installation, privacy-first design, and seamless translation experience.
(1) Everyone can read in their own language without leaving Slack
When a message is posted, a translation is automatically added. There is no need to open another tool or to copy and paste. You can choose whether the translation is displayed directly within the message or as a reply in a thread.
(2) Installation complete with one click. No need for everyone to change their settings
Adding it to your Slack workspace is completed with a single click. Translation can begin on the same day on a per-channel basis, without all members needing to link their accounts.
(3) Message content is never saved
The message body is immediately discarded after the translation process. It can be safely implemented even in Slack channels where highly confidential information, such as business negotiation details or HR information, is exchanged.

3. Case Study: Internal Use at Rimo
At Rimo, Rimo Slack Translator is used for communication between teams in Japan and India.
Before implementation, it took 2 to 3 minutes of effort to translate and share a single message, including copying the text, launching a translation tool, reformatting, and sharing. After implementation, that time has been reduced to virtually zero as translations are automatically displayed within Slack. For a team that has 100-120 cross-language interactions per day, this leads to a reduction of 3 to 6 hours of work every day.
[Developer's Comment]
"The language barrier was quietly slowing down daily communication within our team and with external partners. Every time someone had to stop to manually translate a message, the rhythm of the conversation was broken. I wanted to make translation effortless and unconscious. Now, translations are done automatically within Slack, and it feels as if everyone is speaking the same language. I am once again amazed at how much team communication can change when the language barrier is removed."
