We turn official letters into plain answers.
TranslateMyLetter helps people living in a second language understand official mail — tax offices, immigration authorities, benefits agencies — and reply to it correctly, before the deadline.
Why this exists
Official letters are written in a formal register that even native speakers find hard: long compound terms, legal references, and deadlines buried in the fourth paragraph. For someone living abroad, the problem isn't only translation — a word-for-word translation of "Aufforderung zur Abgabe" still doesn't tell you what to do, by when, or how to answer. TranslateMyLetter was built to answer exactly those three questions.
Who is behind it
TranslateMyLetter is built and run by Antony Njenga, a founder based in Ruiru, Kenya. Through his asset recovery firm, 68 AN Company Limited, Antony works with formal statutory notices and their strict legal deadlines — the same kind of document that causes panic in expat inboxes. TranslateMyLetter applies that experience to official mail across countries and languages.

How it works
- You upload a photo or PDF of your letter (up to 4 pages), or paste its text.
- The letter is analysed by Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, using instructions we wrote specifically for official correspondence: identify the sender, the deadline, the required action and the difficult terms.
- You get a plain-language explanation in any of 100+ languages, plus a formal reply drafted in the letter's own language — for you to review, sign and send.
Our letter guides are written by hand and checked against official government and legal sources, which are linked on every guide.
What we do — and don't do
- We never store your letters. Each upload is processed and discarded. Anthropic does not use API data to train its models.
- We are not a law firm, tax advisor or certified translator. For disputes, court matters or anything high-stakes, we tell you to get professional advice.
- AI can make mistakes. Always check amounts, dates and reference numbers against your original letter.
- Payments are handled by Paddle, our merchant of record — we never see your card details.
