OpenAI Launches Standalone Translation Tool "ChatGPT Translate"

2026-01-16

OpenAI has introduced a standalone translation tool based on ChatGPT. "ChatGPT Translator" supports over 25 languages, featuring an interface similar to Google Translate or DeepL—two text fields with automatic language detection upon input.

Users can refine translations by adding extra prompts, such as switching to a business tone or simplifying content for children. These prompts redirect to the main ChatGPT interface, indicating the tool primarily serves as an entry point to the chatbot. OpenAI has not officially announced this tool.

Unlike the full ChatGPT, this tool only processes text with a clear length limit. During testing, it sometimes returned chatbot responses requesting clarification instead of providing translations, and it could not handle all requests. This suggests it is essentially a prompt within a new interface rather than a dedicated translation model. Currently, ChatGPT itself remains the more powerful option.
