Translate English into Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) the way someone in Hanoi or Saigon would actually say it - polite when it matters, friendly when it counts, every tone mark in the right place. Frontier AI, free for everyday use.
Vietnamese is spoken by more than 90 million people - the largest Austroasiatic language on earth. With factories shifting from China to Vietnam, a 2.2-million-strong Vietnamese-American community, and tourism booming from Hạ Long Bay to Hội An, English ↔ Vietnamese has quietly become one of the most useful pairs online. translator.im handles all of it - supplier contracts, family WhatsApp messages, school assignments and travel signs - with one quietly excellent answer.
Quick reference for travelling in Vietnam, greeting family, ordering phở and asking for directions. Tap any row to copy it into the translator above.
Built on frontier translation models tuned for Southeast Asian languages. No missing diacritics, no Northern-only output - Vietnamese that reads naturally in both Hanoi and Saigon.
Modern AI models that understand register, family pronouns (anh/chị/em/cô/chú) and context across paragraphs - not single sentences in isolation.
All six Vietnamese tones (à á ả ã ạ) and vowel modifiers (ă â ê ô ơ ư đ) render perfectly. Output is Unicode-clean and ready to paste into Word, Pages, Notion or InDesign without a single broken character.
Switch to Voice mode and just talk - your browser's speech recognition (Chrome, Edge or Safari) types your English for you. Tap Listen to hear the Vietnamese read aloud if your device has a Vietnamese voice. Handy at a phở stall or a Hanoi xe ôm stop.
Upload, drop or paste a photo or screenshot of English menus, street signs, packaging or forms. The text is recognised in your browser, you can tweak it, and the Vietnamese translation comes back as editable text.
Paste up to 5,000 characters of English at a time - landing page copy for the VN market - and get Vietnamese back with your paragraph breaks in place.

Three small habits that make AI Vietnamese feel hand-written.
In Vietnamese, the same syllable carries completely different meanings depending on the tone: ma (ghost), má (mom), mà (but), mả (tomb), mã (horse), mạ (rice seedling). translator.im always outputs the correct diacritics, so resist the urge to strip them when copying - the meaning lives in the marks.
Vietnamese uses age- and relationship-based pronouns instead of a single 'you'. Add context like 'translate for a younger sister' or 'translate as a business email' so the model picks anh/chị/em/cô/chú correctly - the difference between warmth and rudeness.
Hanoi and Saigon Vietnamese share a writing system but diverge in vocabulary and feel. Prefix with 'translate in Southern Vietnamese' or 'use Hanoi dialect' if your audience is regional - useful for marketing copy and voice-over scripts.
No account, no install, no waiting. Drop your English in and read it back in fluent Vietnamese - every tone mark intact - in seconds.
