OpenAI is putting Google Translate on notice: It now has a dedicated ChatGPT Translate<\/a> webpage that can convert writing in 50 languages. At first glance, it looks like a basic text-to-text translator that resembles Google Translate and other simple language translation tools on the web. But scrolling down the page reveals more about OpenAI’s ambitions for Translate.<\/p>\n

You’ll come across a line that mentions adding voice or an image (for instance, a photo of a sign) to get a translation, although the page doesn’t indicate when those capabilities will become available.<\/p>\n

OpenAI’s breakout of Translate comes as its chief competitor, Google, is aggressively deploying AI to support features such as\u00a0live translations via headphones<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0new language-learning<\/a>\u00a0tools<\/a>. In 2024, Google\u00a0added 110 languages<\/a>\u00a0to its translations.<\/p>\n

Language translation is a hot field in artificial intelligence. At CES 2026 last week, for instance, CNET’s Macy Meyer tried out a phone<\/a>-sized device and companion headphones<\/a> that let her carry on a live conversation<\/a> with a Polish speaker even though she doesn’t speak Polish herself.<\/p>\n

ChatGPT’s translation features now have their own webpage at chatgpt.com\/translate. The page is basic and it directs you to ChatGPT’s main conversation tool once a translation is done.<\/p>\n

OpenAI<\/p>\n

The skills that ChatGPT Translate currently provides are already available in the chatbot itself. In fact, once you translate text on the webpage, ChatGPT offers a set of sample prompts as one-click buttons for what you can do with that text, such as “translate this and make it sound more fluent” or “translate this as if you’re explaining it to a child.”<\/p>\n

Selecting one of those prompts takes you to a ChatGPT conversation where options like image uploads are readily available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A representative for OpenAI did not comment directly on the new webpage, but said the company is working to make ChatGPT’s language skills “even better,” citing a new standard it uses to help evaluate how AI systems perform across different languages and cultures in India.<\/p>\n
