Multilingual Quoting — Speak Your Language, Quote in Theirs

The problem: English-only quoting apps don't work for everyone

There are over a million tradespeople in the UK whose first language isn't English. Polish builders, Romanian electricians, Portuguese plumbers, Urdu-speaking carpenters. They do excellent work, but when it comes to writing quotes, every app on the market assumes you think and write in English.

So what happens? You either struggle to type a quote in English — getting the wording wrong, misspelling trade terms, spending ages on something a native speaker would do in minutes — or you write the quote in your own language and the client can't read it. Some tradespeople just give a verbal price and skip the written quote entirely, which means no paper trail, no professionalism, and no protection if there's a dispute.

This isn't a language problem. It's a software problem. Every other quoting app was built for English-speaking tradespeople. VoxTrade was built for all of them.

How multilingual quoting works

The entire process takes under a minute. You speak naturally in your language on site, and your client receives a professional English quote by email or WhatsApp — as if you'd spent twenty minutes typing it up.

Supported languages

VoxTrade supports voice input in over 100 languages. The most commonly used by tradespeople in the UK include:

Plus 85+ additional languages. If you can speak it, VoxTrade can understand it. The app interface itself is available in 20 languages, and quote PDFs can be generated in 13 languages.

Who this is for

VoxTrade's multilingual quoting is built for anyone who works in the trades and doesn't think in English first. That includes:

• Polish builders who are brilliant at construction but spend an hour trying to write a quote in English
• Romanian electricians who give verbal prices because writing English quotes takes too long
• Portuguese plumbers who use Google Translate to write quotes and end up with awkward, unprofessional wording
• Hindi and Urdu speakers who know every trade term in their language but can't find the right English equivalent
• Any non-native-English tradesperson who wants to send professional, well-written quotes without the language barrier getting in the way

Your English might be conversational, but trade quoting requires specific vocabulary — "remove existing cladding and install 50mm Celotex insulation board with vapour barrier" reads very differently from "change wall covering." VoxTrade bridges that gap. You describe the work in the words that come naturally to you, and the client gets a quote that reads as if a native English speaker wrote it.
