Why use ChatGPT for translation
Translate across 40+ languages
Go from English to Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, and more — while preserving intent. Ask for additional clarification or phrasings to choose the version that works best.
Control over tone and style
ChatGPT understands tone, idioms, and context. Ask for formal, casual, child-friendly, or regional phrasing so your words sound natural and true to the situation.
Write, speak, upload files
Using ChatGPT, you can upload files, speak aloud, or share a photo of a sign or menu. ChatGPT supports a range of file types such as PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and images.
How it works
Type, paste, speak, or upload what you want to translate — from a short phrase to a photo.

AI translation
ChatGPT is fast and context-aware. It works well for everyday communication, documents, explanations, and situations where you need quick options or help deciding which phrasing fits best.
Human translators
