ChatGPT Translate: OpenAI challenges Google in translation
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, a standalone translator competing with Google Translate. It supports 50+ languages, auto-detects source language, and lets users adjust tone and context, making translations sound more natural and human-like. For now it focuses on text (voice on mobile), but its key strength is context awareness and style control, not just word-for-word conversion. Debate question: Do we want faster literal translations, or AI that understands meaning, tone, and culture? OST: Translation shifts from mechanical output to contextual understanding.
