Anyone wanting a quick translation with a tone they can adjust; free and reportedly needs no account, though UK access is unconfirmed.

Kenning's take

What it does

ChatGPT Translate is a standalone translation page from OpenAI that works much like Google Translate, with text boxes side by side and automatic language detection. After translating, it lets people adjust the tone or style for an audience such as children, academics or business readers. Press reports at launch said no ChatGPT account is needed and that image and audio translation were planned.

• About 50 languages
• Automatic source-language detection
• Real-time translation as text is typed
• Tone and style adjustments for different audiences
• No account needed, according to press reports

Who it suits. Anyone who wants a quick translation with control over how formal or simple the result sounds.
