What is an AI translator?

An AI translator converts text from one language to another using a machine learning model, rather than a fixed dictionary of word-for-word substitutions. A good AI translator accounts for context, idiom, and tone, so the result reads naturally in the target language instead of like a literal, word-by-word conversion.

Literal is not the same as natural.

Word-for-word translation gets the vocabulary right and the meaning wrong. Idioms don't carry over, tone shifts unexpectedly, and formal or casual register gets flattened. For anything beyond a single phrase, translation needs to account for context, not just vocabulary.

Where it matters
Emails to international clients, travel, reading foreign-language sources, and communicating with teammates who don't share your first language.
What the Translator does
Translates text between languages while preserving tone and context, not just swapping words one-for-one.

Common questions

Yes. You don't need an account. Each translation takes up to 1,500 characters, and there is a daily cap per visitor.

You can translate into ten languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, and Kannada. The language you paste in is detected automatically.

Yes to all three. Hindi and Kannada are target languages, so pick either and paste English or any other language. Russian into English works too, because the source language is detected for you. Translating into Russian is not available yet.

It aims to. Context and tone are part of what separates a natural translation from a literal, word-for-word one, so the translator is instructed to keep both. For anything important, have a fluent speaker check the result.

Not for anything requiring certified translation. Machine translation is good for understanding and drafting, but certified documents need a professional human translator.

To translate your text we pass it to our AI provider, Google Gemini, and hand the translation back to you. Nothing is stored, sold, or used for profiling on our side. Only the Typeahead Mac app is on-device: it never sends your writing to a server.

Draft it faster, then translate it.

Typeahead finishes your sentences as you type in your Mac apps, so the text you bring here takes less time to write.
