OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, an AI translation tool supporting over 50 languages, entering competition with Google.
OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Translate, a new autonomous translation tool that supports over 50 languages, aiming to compete directly with Google's translation services.
The interface of ChatGPT Translate resembles that of Google Translate, featuring two text fields for input and output, along with a language selection dropdown at the top.
This tool is capable of processing text, voice, and images; however, it lacks the ability to translate entire websites and documents, a feature available in Google Translate.
While the desktop version of ChatGPT Translate is limited to text translation, the mobile browser variant does support voice input through a microphone.
Users can also customize translation styles with presets, such as adjusting the tone for more formal business communication.
Although translation capabilities have been part of the standard ChatGPT chatbot, this launch marks the establishment of a dedicated web service for translations. Currently, there is no standalone application available on platforms like the Apple Store or Google Play.
OpenAI has yet to officially announce this tool or reveal the underlying AI model that powers it. This release follows the company's January launch of ChatGPT Health, a specialized service for health-related consultations.
