Translate
Text, files, or speech — one translator, everything on this device. How it works →
Translating text on your own device
Type, paste or dictate into the box above and the translation comes back from an engine running on this machine. 66 languages, every pair between them, from one language pack that downloads once. Nothing you type is sent anywhere — not the easy sentences and not the hard ones, because there is no server behind this page to send them to.
That matters most for the things people actually paste into a translator: a contract clause, a medical letter, a message from a lawyer, a passage from work they are not allowed to share. With a browser-based translator those all become someone else's server logs. Here they stay on your computer, and you can check that by turning the network off and translating anyway.
What happens to a sentence
The text is split into sentences and each one is drafted, then checked for the failures that change meaning rather than style: a dropped negation, a changed number or amount, a name that went missing, a date that shifted. Where a check is not satisfied the sentence is redrafted. The status line names the step it is on, and anything the checks could not settle is shown to you rather than quietly hidden — a translation you cannot trust is worse than one that tells you where it is unsure.
Beyond plain text
- Documents — Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB and subtitle files, with formatting, tables and structure kept rather than flattened.
- PDFs — including scanned ones, read on the device.
- Pictures and the camera — photograph a sign, a menu or a label and read it in your language.
- Subtitles — transcribe a video on the device and translate its captions, timing kept.
Pairs we have measured
Each of these has been run over 200 sentences of the FLORES-200 test set, and its page prints the COMET score that came back. Every other pair translates just as well in the app — it simply has no page here, because a number we have not measured would be a guess.

Common questions
- Is Traxlate free?
- Yes, to start: translating text on your own device is free, with no account. Paid plans cover larger document volumes. The language pack itself is a one-time download.
- Does my text get uploaded?
- No. After the language pack downloads once, translation runs on your machine. There is no server to send text to — that path was removed in August 2026, so a difficult sentence cannot quietly be sent away either.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes, once the language pack is installed. That is the same thing as the privacy answer: a translator that needs no network cannot be one that uploads your text.
- How accurate is it?
- We publish measured COMET scores for the pairs we have benchmarked, each over 200 sentences of the standard FLORES-200 test set, rather than claiming a percentage. Pairs we have not measured get no number, because an estimate presented as a measurement would be a guess.
- Do I need an account?
- Not to translate text. An account is for syncing your glossary, keeping history across devices and for paid plans.
