Translation

Fast first. Then just right.

Q/T shows a translation the moment you type, then quietly replaces it with a natural one.

Instant draft, refined by AI

Apple’s on-device translation answers in a blink. AI then rewrites it the way a person would say it.

Pick your tone

From very formal to very casual. Add custom instructions and a glossary for your own words.

Your languages, your order

Set your primary language and pick the ones you translate into, in your order. Switch between them right from the main screen.

Alternative phrasings

Not quite it? See other ways to say the same thing and copy the one that fits.

Proofreading

See exactly what changed.

Switch to Proofread and Q/T fixes spelling, grammar, and phrasing in the same language, with every change marked.

Changes, highlighted

Additions are tinted and removals are struck through, so you learn as you write.

Style and strength

Fix only typos, or let Q/T rewrite freely. Choose the register: professional, standard, colloquial, or literary.

Translate what’s in front of you
