Private, on-device translation one shortcut away on your Mac
Trigger Plae with a global keyboard shortcut such as Cmd+Shift+T from any application, type your message and press Enter. No need to open a browser tab or switch apps to look up a phrase.
Turn any translation into a full-screen view with large type, so you can hand the screen to someone across a desk, a counter or a sofa and let them read it themselves.
Choose Apple Translation for instant results in 19 languages, Apple Intelligence for better nuance on supported hardware, or Plae's bundled TranslateGemma model in 4B, 12B or 27B sizes for around 55 languages.
Translation, language packs and AI models all run on your Mac. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, and no text sent to a server, so private messages stay private.
