The Concept Behind TGMobile

TG Mobile was designed to create a private multilingual chat environment. So, just like your AOL or Yahoo chat, before you can invite someone to a chat, you must first ask them to be on your contact list. Only people on your TG Mobile contact list can be invited to your private chat room. Once you have a list of contacts created and accepted, then you can begin to have multilingual chats. For those times that you need Translation, but don’t need to have a chat, there is an option to select the Translation Only chat room, and that will return to you your source text in the selected target language.
