OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, an autonomous translation tool. It supports over 50 languages and is positioned as a direct competitor to Google's equivalent.

ChatGPT Translate can handle text, voice, and images, but it currently does not support entire websites and documents, unlike Google Translate.
In the desktop version, OpenAI's service can only translate text. The mobile browser version includes microphone support.
ChatGPT Translate offers several presets for managing style, such as "make the text more formal for business communication."
The standard ChatGPT chatbot has long included translation features. This new release is simply the introduction of the tool as an additional web service. There is currently no standalone app in the Apple Store or Google Play.
OpenAI has not made an official announcement regarding this new solution and has not disclosed which AI model underpins it.
As a reminder, in January, the company introduced ChatGPT Health—a specialized section for health consultations.
