About this tool
Translate text instantly across languages with accuracy and ease.
Text Translator converts a passage between any two of 11 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Arabic and Hindi — by sending it to Google's translate endpoint and returning the joined result. It is for anyone who needs a quick, readable rendering of a message, a review or a paragraph of documentation rather than a certified translation. The output panel can be copied, shared, or spoken aloud with a voice matched to the target language's BCP 47 tag.
Open Text Translator on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Choose Source and Target from the two 11-language dropdowns, then type or paste into the "Your Text" panel.
Press Translate; the swap button between the selects exchanges both languages and the panel contents for a back-translation check.
Read the "Translation" panel and use its Copy, Speak or Share buttons — Speak reads it in a voice matched to the target language.
Swapping source and target also swaps the two panels' contents, so a back-translation check takes one click instead of copy-paste.
The translation panel speaks through the browser's speech synthesiser using a mapped locale — es-ES, ja-JP, hi-IN and so on — so pronunciation follows the target language's rules.
The translated text has copy-to-clipboard and native share buttons on the panel itself, so it goes straight into your reply without re-selecting the text.
Eleven: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Arabic and Hindi. Any of the eleven can be the source or the target, giving 110 directional pairs.
No. Unlike most tools here, translation requires a network call: your text is sent to Google's public translate endpoint to be processed. Do not paste confidential contracts, medical records, credentials or personal data you are not willing to send to a third-party service.
It is reliable for gist and everyday correspondence, but not for anything binding. Idioms, legal terms, dosage instructions and marketing tone are where machine output most often goes wrong — have a fluent human review anything contractual, medical or public-facing before it ships.
The most common causes are a dropped network connection, a blocked request from an extension or corporate proxy, or an unusually long passage. Try again with a shorter chunk — a few paragraphs at a time is more reliable than pasting a whole document into one request.
