FLOATING CAPSULE

Select text. The capsule arrives.

Put your common actions into the capsule: translate, copy, speak, AI summarize, polish, explain terms, save to vocabulary, or trigger a custom workflow.

Float Translate is a lightweight floating translation tool for Windows PC.

Select any phrase in a document, browser, chat, PDF, or code editor. The capsule stays close to the selected text and keeps the next action available without opening a full panel.

The capsule gives quick access to translation, copy, speak, save, AI summary, polish, terminology explanation, and custom workflows.

Try it yourself — select any text right here.

CURSOR LOOKUP

Shortcut through word, sentence, and paragraph.

Press a shortcut to capture the word, sentence, or paragraph at the cursor and view the result in the nearby mini window.

Float Translate looks up words beside the cursor. It works across images, videos, games, and any screen text. Expand to a sentence or paragraph for context.

FLOATING PANEL

Multiple translations, side by side.

Compare translations from DeepL, Google, AI services, and more side by side in the translation panel. Each service can have activation conditions: text length, word count, language pair, current app, page URL, trigger method, or network status; you can also set usage limits so a service is skipped after it reaches its cap.

AI services use your own API key.

INPUT TRANSLATION

FAQ

Common questions

Can I use Float Translate now?

Float Translate is rolling out in stages. Free access will be available from the Download button when ready, and Pro launches through redemption codes first.

Can I keep using the Free version?

Yes. Free has no time limit or translation cap. Included: core translation, the floating capsule, screen OCR, basic workflows, and the extension marketplace.

Does AI translation require my own API key?

Yes. OpenAI, Claude, and other AI services use your own API key. Add it once in Services.

Does config sync upload translation history or OCR images?

No. Translation history, OCR images, and translated content stay on your device and do not sync. Config sync only covers settings, service instances, workflows, and saved items.

Is Pro a one-time purchase?

Yes. The first launch offer is a one-time Windows Pro license. Local Pro features stay available permanently.

Is Windows the first supported platform?

Yes. The first release targets Windows PC. macOS and Linux will come later as separate platform releases.

Can I extend Float Translate with my own extensions?

Yes. Free includes the extension marketplace, SDK, CLI, and Agent Skill, so you can install official or third-party extensions, or create your own.
