My English is not great, so I used to rely heavily on Google Translate. But after comparing AI translation with Google Translate, I realized how limited traditional machine translation can be. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to return. So I asked AI to quickly build a translation tool for me. Since I use Google Translate a lot, I modeled the interface after Google Translate. Most translation tools look similar anyway.

My requirements are also simple: I want the speed of Google Translate and the accuracy of AI translation. Sometimes I also want to know why it translates a certain way, and sometimes I feel the translation isn’t great and want to ask further questions!
After having these requirements, I sent them to AI. In no time, AI gave me a first draft. After some fine-tuning, I got my own “Google Translate”. It looks like this:
Simple and clean. But is it useful? Let’s try it:
Below is the AI translation:
If it feels off, we can keep asking questions:
Beyond the above capabilities, the most noteworthy feature is the ability to customize prompts!
Set it once and reuse it. You no longer need to paste the same preset into every question, which saves time and avoids repetitive setup.
Although it is a simple tool, I use it every day. My own version saves me a lot of time, and I also pick up English expressions while translating.
What could be improved
Currently, there are still some points that can be optimized, such as:
- Use nice fonts
- Integrate pleasant text-to-speech
- Custom translation model
- View history
These are nice-to-have improvements. The tool already covers my core needs. Thanks for reading. Feel free to try it and share your feedback.
