ChatGPT Translate, a feature inside ChatGPT, treats translation as a starting point and emphasizes context, audience and intent from the outset.

Rather than stopping once text is converted, the tool gives users more control over clarity, tone and intent, which the source says can help when translating emails, doing schoolwork or producing professional writing. Once in ChatGPT, users can use AI to continue writing and editing translated text.

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—capabilities that Google Translate provides.

Language support is also narrower than Google Translate, which supports more than 200 languages. While ChatGPT Translate is noted as unique for its tone control and handoff to ChatGPT for deeper editing assistance, Google Translate remains more powerful overall, especially for multimodal features.
