Try Float Translator
  1. 01
    Choose your moment

    Use the menu bar, select text in another app, or capture a region of the screen.

  2. 02
    Use a shortcut

    Default shortcuts keep every mode close, and each one can be changed in Settings.

  3. 03
    Keep moving

    Copy the result, review a definition, or return to your work with your context intact.

Thoughtful by design

Your history stays on your Mac.

Recent translation records are stored locally. Dictionary lookups use the dictionaries available in macOS, and Float Translator asks for system permissions only when a feature needs them.
