Overview
- OpenAI quietly rolled out the service at chatgpt.com/translate without a formal announcement and has not disclosed which model powers it.
- The tool supports over 50 languages with automatic detection and delivers live results as users type.
- Quick tone and style presets let users make translations more fluent, business formal, child-friendly or academic, then continue refining in the full ChatGPT chat.
- Current limitations include no image uploads, desktop restricted to text input, microphone support on mobile browsers only, and no document, website, handwriting or real-time conversation translation.
- Compared to Google Translate’s 240-plus languages, dedicated apps and offline use, ChatGPT Translate currently offers narrower language coverage and fewer input options.
