What you get

Choose your directionsPick a direction from those the app offers and download the required models. Russian and Ukrainian to English is bundled; reverse directions require separate downloads.

Under the cursor or from the clipboardTranslate accessible text in your browser and other apps. If cursor text is unavailable, copy it to the clipboard first.

Reverse translationCompare the original, translation and translation back into your language in the pinned window to help spot changes in meaning. It doesn’t guarantee the translation is flawless.
