The two services look visually similar: both feature two text boxes \u2014 one for typing or pasting the source text and another that displays the translated results \u2014 alongside dropdown menus to manage which languages you\u2019re translating to or from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">There are some notable differences, however. Google Translate allows users to upload images, documents, and even websites for translation alongside the usual text inputs. The ChatGPT Translate homepage notes that it can translate from text, images, and voice, but image support isn\u2019t available yet on any version of the service. The desktop website only supports translating from text, while mobile browsers allow you to use either text or your device\u2019s microphone. OpenAI\u2019s service also includes some additional presets to direct the style of the completed translation too, such as \u201ctranslate this and make it more business formal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/2\/14\/18224704\/ai-machine-learning-language-models-read-write-openai-gpt2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">regular ChatGPT chatbot<\/a> has supported translation features for years, so this is just OpenAI releasing that as a dedicated web service. There\u2019s currently no sign of a ChatGPT Translate app on Apple or Google\u2019s app stores, unlike Google Translate, which is available as both a website and app. OpenAI has not made any announcements about the release or confirmed which AI model is powering the translation tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, a standalone web translation tool that supports over 50 languages and is positioned&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,50,874,227,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-371483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-openai","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
