Translate text when the wording matters: a message from a landlord, an email from your kid's school, a product listing, a post for a group abroad. Paste the text, pick one of 45 languages and a tone, and get a translation that reads the way a person would write it in that language, not a word-for-word copy of the original.
You don't have to say what language the original is in. The tool works that out first and then translates, so a message pasted straight from WhatsApp, Gmail or a PDF works as is. Line breaks, links, prices, dates and phone numbers stay where they were, which matters when you paste the result back into an email or a form.
The tone setting changes how the result sounds. Neutral fits most things. Casual is for friends, neighbors and group chats. Formal is for landlords, banks, schools and anything that starts with “Dear”. If a sentence still feels off, send the result to the paraphrasing tool to make it shorter, simpler or more polite.
A few honest limits. You can paste up to 50,000 characters at once, roughly 20 pages; longer texts go in parts. AI does the translating, so for a contract, a medical letter or anything you'll hand in at an office, have someone who knows both languages read it first. This is not a certified translation, and an embassy or a court will usually ask for one. A short message takes about 3 seconds, plus around 1.5 seconds for every 1,000 characters.
Your text is processed on our server and is not stored there: once the translation comes back, the text is dropped. The result is saved in your library, which lives only in this browser.
If what you have is a file rather than a few paragraphs, use the document translator: it takes Word, PDF and plain text files and gives you back a Word file. And if you need to answer someone in their language, the reply tool drafts the answer and shows you its translation, so you know exactly what you're sending.
