ChatGPT Translate emphasizes tone control but lacks Google Translate’s multimodal features

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Translate treats translation as a starting point, taking context, audience and intent into account and letting users refine results. The feature gives control over clarity, tone and intent and can hand off translated text to ChatGPT for further writing and editing.

ChatGPT Translate is in its early stages and currently supports only text translations on desktop and mobile. It does not yet offer voice input, real-time conversation mode, image uploads, document translation or website translation, unlike Google Translate, and its language support is narrower than Google Translate’s more than 200 languages.

While the tool is notable for tone control and deeper AI editing assistance, Google Translate remains more powerful overall, particularly for multimodal capabilities. What is available versus what is planned or missing has not been expanded on beyond those limitations.
