STILL ENGLISHFor now
Your organizer dashboard.
The screens you use to write messages and manage your list are in English. A few less common member replies, like polls and Find a Time, are too.
SMSGO EN ESPAÑOL
SMSGO speaks Spanish. More languages are coming.
Many organizers run their crews, teams, churches and businesses in Spanish. We’re committed to making SMSGO work for them and for the people they lead, from our website to every text their members get.
Our whole website, with an EN | ES switch.
Sign up in Spanish, with a Spanish verification code.
Your members’ Join page and texts in Spanish.

IN SPANISH TODAY
From our website to your members’ phones.
Here’s everything that works in Spanish right now.
🌐
Our website
Every public page has a Spanish version at smsgo.org/es, with an EN | ES switch at the top. Phones set to Spanish get a small “¿Prefieres español?” note.
✍️
Signing up
Start from the Spanish site and sign-up stays in Spanish: the forms, the messages, the verification code by text or email, and the setup pages.
📱
Your members
Choose Español in Settings, and your Join page, welcome text, confirmations, counts, waitlist texts and dates go out in Spanish. Your own messages go out exactly as you write them.
SPANISH REPLIES
Members can answer in Spanish.
SMSGO understands these Spanish words, and the English ones still work for everyone in the group.
- Yes
SÍ · CLARO · VOY (= YES) - The count
ESTADO (= STATUS) - Stop texts
ALTO · BAJA · NO MÁS (= STOP) - Back in
COMENZAR (= START) - Help
AYUDA (= HELP) - Leave a group
SALIR (= LEAVE)
SÍ +1 brings a guest, just like YES +1.
SPANISH WITHOUT THE SURPRISE BILL
We watch your accents, so you don’t pay double.
Letters like á, í, ó and ú aren’t in the standard text alphabet. One of them turns a text into 70-character pieces instead of 160, which can double the price. When that happens, SMSGO shows you and offers to remove them with one tap. ñ, é, ¿ and ¡ are free, and they stay.
- SMSGO’s own Spanish texts are written to stay at the regular price.
- Spanish starter messages for rain delays, crew calls, reminders and more.
- You always see the count and the cost before anything sends.
Same message. Half the price.
WITH ACCENTS · 2 SEGMENTS
Hola a todos: la práctica de mañana se cambió al parque central. Habrá agua y fruta. ¿Quién viene? Respondan SI o NO.
ONE TAP LATER · 1 SEGMENT
Hola a todos: la practica de mañana se cambio al parque central. Habra agua y fruta. ¿Quién viene? Respondan SI o NO.
The choice is always yours. Undo puts the accents back.
WHAT’S NEXT
Honest about what’s still in English.
We’d rather tell you than have you find out. These parts are still in English today, and we’re working on them.
COMINGMore languages
Spanish is the first. It won’t be the last.
We’re adding more languages. Tell us which one your group needs: text support from your account, and you’ll reach a real person.
OUR COMMITMENT
A message should reach everyone, in their language.
SMSGO is a small, founder-run company in Silver Spring, Maryland. We built it so one organizer can reach a whole group with no app. Supporting Spanish is part of that promise, and we’ll keep improving it with the organizers who use it.
QUESTIONS
Spanish questions.
Is SMSGO available in Spanish?
Yes. Our whole website is in Spanish at smsgo.org/es, you can sign up in Spanish, and you can set your group’s language to Español so your members’ Join page and the texts SMSGO sends for them are in Spanish.
Do my members need to speak English?
No. With your group set to Español, members join, confirm and check the count in Spanish. They can reply SÍ, ESTADO, ALTO or AYUDA, and the English words work too.
Can I write my messages in Spanish?
Yes. Your messages go out exactly as you write them, in any language. SMSGO only translates its own automatic texts, like confirmations and counts.
Does Spanish cost more to send?
Only if you use á, í, ó or ú. Those letters make a text count in 70-character pieces instead of 160. SMSGO shows you when that happens and offers to remove them with one tap. ñ, é, ¿ and ¡ cost nothing extra.
Is the dashboard in Spanish?
Not yet. The organizer dashboard is in English today, and we’re working on Spanish. Your website, sign-up and your members’ experience are already in Spanish.
Can one group have English and Spanish speakers?
Yes. The language setting is for the texts SMSGO sends for you, and members can reply with English or Spanish words either way. You can also write your own messages in both languages.
Which languages are next?
Spanish is the first, and more are coming. Tell us which language your group needs by texting support from your account.
How do I turn on Spanish for my members?
Go to Settings, then New members, and choose Español under “Language for your members.” If you sign up from our Spanish site, it starts set to Español.
