About:
CopyTranslator is an open-source translation tool designed to streamline the workflow of reading and translating foreign language text. It automatically translates copied content from sources like PDFs and web browsers, providing real-time results. The tool includes smart features like paragraph segmentation and punctuation correction to enhance readability and translation accuracy.
Key Features:
  • Real-time translation of copied text
  • Smart punctuation and paragraph correction
  • Support for multiple translation engines
  • Focus mode for translating specific areas
Use Cases:
  • Reading and understanding academic papers or technical documentation in foreign languages
  • Quickly translating text from websites without using a web-based translator
  • Assisting with language learning by providing instant context
Alternatives:
  • DeepL – DeepL offers superior translation quality but requires manual copy-paste and lacks the real-time overlay features.
  • PopClip – PopClip is a more general macOS utility that can be extended with translation actions, but is not a dedicated translation suite.
