Xiha connects the people of the world through a multilingual, cross-cultural exchange.
Simultaneous, real-time translation allows Xiha citizens to share travel tips, pictures, music, videos, games, knowledge and perspectives.
Make friends around the world
By transcending language barriers, Xiha allows users to make new friends from around the globe, rather than merely reconnecting with high school acquaintances.
Users can create blogs and homepages - or link to other social media- to share their personal experiences.
Truly global community
XIHA members live in over 200 countries and speak more than 60 languages.
XIHA is a friendly community where everyone is welcome!

"I just posted a blog interview with Sebastien, the guy who is responsible of the French translation of Xiha and the French moderation!

I'm Jani, one of the founders of Xiha. I'm originally from Finland, but over the past ten years I've lived on three different continents so I guess I'm kind of a globe trotter or world citizen... Currently I live in Switzerland with my wife Wen, our toddler Fei and the lovely little princess Yuer.
When I'm not working on Xiha, I like to go out shooting photos. I'm armed with Canon 5D mark II and Leica M8. Prior to starting Xiha, I was a professional game programmer for over 15 years. I used to live in the US and work for EA and the legendary Westwood Studios in Las Vegas.

I am confirmed optimist. And my age is only number; I belive that we are as young (or old), as we feel we are.
I am alone but not lonely. I’m single from my own free will: I haven’t enough time for everything and I don’t need anyone to point that out all the time. Still I’m sure that Mr. Right is in somewhere, but I’m not so sure, that I ever meet him in this life. While waiting, I will dedicate to my work and all my curious things.
