Translation that stays in your workflow
Translating at work usually means copying text into a browser tab, picking the languages, and copying the result back. NativePen handles that loop from the macOS menu bar. It reads the text you select, translates it with a frontier language model, and replaces the selection. You stay in the chat, email or document where the text belongs.
30+ languages
Translate into and out of more than 30 languages from the same shortcut.
Formatting kept
Line breaks, bullet lists and paragraphs come back in the same shape they had.
Context-aware
Language models translate the whole passage at once, which helps with idioms, tone and sentence order.
Polish after translating
Run Polish on the translated text to make it more formal, casual or concise.
Every app
Mail, Slack, Notion, Chrome, VS Code, Pages and any other app where you can select text.
Private by default
Text is processed for each request and not stored by default.
Translate a selection in three steps
No separate translator window to manage.
Select the text
Highlight a message, a paragraph or a whole email, up to 4,000 characters per request.
Press the shortcut and choose Translate
Pick the language you want the text in.
Read or send the result
The translation replaces your selection, or appears in a popover so you can copy it.
