OpenAI Quietly Launches ChatGPT Translate as a Standalone Web Tool

OpenAI prioritizes context‑aware phrasing with one‑tap tone refinements that flow into ChatGPT for deeper edits.

Overview

  • The site supports roughly 50 languages with automatic detection in a two‑pane interface for fast text translation.
  • Desktop currently handles text only, while mobile browsers add microphone input; image uploads are referenced but not available.
  • Quick presets such as more fluent, business formal, child‑friendly, and academic initiate a handoff into the main ChatGPT for iterative rewriting.
  • There is no dedicated app, offline or on‑device mode, or support for documents, websites, handwriting, or real‑time conversations at launch.
  • OpenAI has not formally announced the service or disclosed the model powering it, and reporters note the page appeared earlier in Internet Archive snapshots.
