OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, a new web-based tool competing with Google Translate, offering real-time language translations.

ChatGPT Translate supports over 50 languages and includes automatic language detection. The interface features two text boxes for input and output, and translations appear as you type. It offers quick prompts to adjust translation style for fluency, formality, or audience type.
- Launch Date: 2026-01-15
- Languages Supported: 50+

Future Developments
The tool aims to expand with image and file translation capabilities, although these options are pending. Currently, no dedicated app or section within ChatGPT exists for ChatGPT Translate.
The single website interface is the current platform for leveraging AI-enhanced translations with ChatGPT Translate.
