Translate with Voxt

中文

Voxt can translate selected text, or a sentence you say, into the language you choose. First set up a language model. Translating speech also needs a downloaded speech model.

1. Open Translate in the Voxt sidebar and choose the Target language and Language model. Translate defaults to English, or to Chinese when your main language is English.

2. Translate what you say. Place the cursor in an empty text field with nothing selected, tap ⇧ Shift + Right ⌥ Option, say “please confirm the time by Friday”, and press the same shortcut again. The translation appears at the cursor.

3. Translate selected text. Select some text, press ⇧ Shift + Right ⌥ Option, and wait: the translation replaces the selection.

If step 2 starts translating text that is already there, deselect it and try again. The Translate page also has a fallback model, used when the first one fails, and Your rules, such as “don’t translate names”. The current shortcut is the one on the Translate page.

For agents

Following this page, set Voxt’s Translate target language and choose the language model I set up. In a new empty document, type “please confirm the time by Friday”, select it and test translating the selection, keeping the original for me to compare. For translating speech, stop where I need to start speaking.
