OpenAI has finally launched a new translation service for its chatbot, ChatGPT.<\/p>\n
The web translation tool, named ChatGPT Translate<\/a>, currently supports over 50 languages and aims to compete with the widely popular Google Translate.<\/p>\n To be fair, it is also a pretty easy comparison; both feature text boxes (one for the source text and the other for the translation), along with dropdown menus for selecting the two languages.<\/p>\n However, there are some notable differences: the web version of Google Translate allows users to upload images, documents, and even websites for translation (in addition to the usual text inputs). The ChatGPT homepage notes that it can translate text, images, and voice, though I couldn\u2019t seem to find a way to activate voice or image translation yet.<\/p>\n In traditional ChatGPT style, the site also shows preset phrases to guide the translation\u2019s style, such as \u201cTranslate this and make it sound more fluent\u201d and \u201cTranslate this and make it sound more business formal.\u201d<\/p>\n To add some context, ChatGPT has supported translation for years<\/a>, so this is more just OpenAI releasing it as a dedicated web service, similar to what the company did with ChatGPT Health<\/a> not long ago. There is no direct sign of a ChatGPT Translate app on the App Store or the Google Play Store, compared to Google Translate, which is available as a dedicated app on both.<\/p>\n Source: The Verge<\/a><\/p>\n
