"The tool can translate text, voice inputs and images into more than 50 languages in seconds, OpenAI says. There's an automatic language detection function too. Most interestingly, ChatGPT Translate can rewrite the output to take various contexts and tones into account, much in the same way that more general text-generating AI tools can do. With a single tap, it can rewrite the translation into something "more fluent," for a business formal audience, to make it more child-friendly or for academic purposes."
"While those tone and context considerations are intriguing, ChatGPT Translate is a little underbaked compared with the likes of Google Translate - which has been around for decades and just got its own Gemini-based makeover with better support for understanding idioms and slang. The desktop version of ChatGPT Translate does not yet allow for voice inputs, though the mobile one does, as Android Authority notes. Despite claims that ChatGPT can translate text in an image, there's currently no way to upload one to the tool."
"Perhaps most crucially, ChatGPT Translate lives on a webpage right now and there's no dedicated app. So using it offline appears to be out of the question as things stand. No app with on-device translation support could make ChatGPT Translate a no-go for travelers in rural areas with no Internet access. There's no support for translating real-time conversations as yet either. Google's Pixel 10, on the other hand, now supports voice translations for calls"
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Translate as a dedicated web tool that translates text, voice inputs, and images into more than 50 languages with automatic language detection. The tool can rewrite translations for different tones and contexts, offering options like "more fluent," business formal, child-friendly, or academic styles. The mobile version supports voice input, but the desktop version currently does not, and image upload is unavailable. There is no support yet for website, document, handwriting, or real-time conversation translation. The tool is web-only with no dedicated app or offline mode, limiting usability compared with more mature competitors like Google Translate.
