Looking for the right translation tool?
You're probably familiar with Google Translate, a widely-used free solution. Mate offers a compelling alternative—designed for privacy, accuracy, and seamless integration across your devices.
As a dedicated translation tool, Mate focuses on delivering a superior user experience. Here's why you might prefer Mate over Google Translate:
Mate works across your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and as a browser extension. It's always accessible from your menu bar or share sheet, providing a sleek interface that appears when needed and stays out of the way otherwise.
Google Translate is available as a website and mobile app, requiring you to switch between apps or browser tabs for translations.
100+ languages, offline mode, word genders, synonyms, IPA pronunciation, text-to-speech, voice translation, and transliteration. Unique features include Netflix subtitle translation, a personal phrasebook, and full webpage translation.
Google Translate offers similar core features but lacks specialized functions like Netflix subtitle translation or a built-in phrasebook.
Mate is privacy-focused. It doesn't track user activity or collect unnecessary data. You can request data deletion, and there's no spam. Mate offers a personal account for cross-device syncing.
Google Translate, while useful, is part of Google's ecosystem, which has faced scrutiny over data collection and privacy practices.
Mate is crafted by a small, dedicated team at Gikken, focusing on the needs of frequent translators and language enthusiasts.
We've designed Mate to be intuitive and efficient, eliminating the need for constant app-switching or copy-pasting.
Privacy is at the core of Mate's philosophy. We prioritize user data protection and transparency.
As a smaller company, we're agile and responsive. We welcome your feedback, ideas, and questions. Reach out on Twitter or e-posta directly.
