Ummah
The Ummah, in your own language
Circles for your city and for the things you are actually going through, and a Translate button on anything written in a language you do not read.
The Ummah does not share a language. It should still be able to share a room.
What it does
Circles, not one endless feed
Rooms for your city, from London to Jakarta, and for subjects people genuinely want a room for: reverts, students, new parents, hifz, entrepreneurs, and the rest.
Translate anything, from any language
A post written in Turkish, Albanian or Bengali carries a Translate button for readers who do not read it. Nothing is translated until somebody asks, and Show original is always one tap away.
Moderated, and gendered where it matters
Sisters can turn off messages from brothers, and the setting is respected everywhere in the app, not just in the inbox.
Anonymous when you need it
Some questions are hard to ask under your own name. Posts can be made anonymously inside a circle without leaving the community that answers them.
The rule this is held to
Nothing happens to a post until somebody asks
A post is not translated until a reader presses Translate, and Show original is always one tap away. The setting that decides who may message you is respected everywhere in the app rather than in the inbox alone.
Worth knowing
- Translation covers the languages the engine detects, and the button only appears on writing that is not already in the language your phone is set to.
- Anonymity is per post and inside a circle. It hides the name, not the moderation: reporting is on every post and every reply.
Questions people ask
Which languages can it translate from?
Any of the hundred and ninety-five languages the translation engine detects. The button appears on anything not already in the language your phone is set to.
Is it moderated?
Yes, by people, with reporting on every post and reply, and account-level blocks that apply across the whole app.
