A message arrives in a language you do not read well, or you need to answer someone in theirs. Instead of pasting it into a translator, losing the thread, and stitching a reply together, forward it to free@forwardloops.com. You get the email explained in your language and a polished reply drafted in the right one, all in the same conversation.
Understand a foreign-language email
Forward the message and put a short instruction on the first line · for example explain this in plain English. The reply comes back with the gist, the key points, and anything that needs a decision, in the language you asked for. No separate translation tool, no copy-paste.
Reply in your language or theirs
This is where forwarding beats a plain translator: it does both directions in one step. Tell it what you want, for example:
- summarise in English, then draft a polite reply in Spanish
- explain in English and write a yes in formal German
- translate to English and reply asking for an invoice in French
It reads the original, explains it for you, and writes the outgoing reply in the recipient’s language, matching a natural, professional tone rather than a word-for-word machine translation.

Set your reply language once
If you regularly reply in a particular language, set a default reply language in your dashboard. By default the reply matches the language of the email you forwarded, so a German email gets a German reply unless you say otherwise. Per-email instructions always override the default, so you can switch whenever you need.
What it handles well
- Understanding dense or formal letters from agencies, banks, and authorities.
- Drafting replies that read naturally to a native speaker.
- Keeping names, numbers, dates, and addresses intact.
- Matching the right level of formality for the language and context.
FAQ
Can it both translate and reply in one go?
Yes. Ask it to explain in your language and draft a reply in the other · it does both in the same response.
What language will the reply be in by default?
The same language as the email you forwarded. Override it with an instruction or a dashboard setting.
How many languages does it handle?
The major business languages and many more · the same models behind it support a wide range. State the language you want explicitly.
Is the email stored?
No. ForwardLoops keeps zero email content after the reply is written.
