What’s the point of ChatGPT Translate?
Most translation tools stop once the text is converted. ChatGPT Translate treats that as a starting point. It assumes context, audience, and intent matter from the start, then lets you refine the result further. But let’s say you are translating emails, doing schoolwork, or want professional writing, the tool then gives you more control over clarity, tone, and intent, not just accuracy.

Basically, once you are in ChatGPT, you can do much more with your translated text, using AI to keep writing and editing from there.
How does ChatGPT Translate compare to Google Translate?
ChatGPT Translate is in its early stages. It only supports text translations on desktop and mobile. Voice input, real-time conversation mode, image uploads, document translation, and website translation are not yet available, unlike with Google Translate. Language support is also narrower than Google Translate, which supports more than 200 languages.

While ChatGPT Translate is unique right now for its tone control and handoff to ChatGPT for deeper AI editing and writing assistance, Google Translate remains far more powerful overall, especially when it comes to its multimodal features.
