Get started with Just Translate

Translate text

Just Translate is your ideal editor to instantly translate and understand foreign language text by using the web-based Google translation engine. On that account you need an internet connection to translate your text.

To translate text:

1. Choose a source language.
2. Enter your text.
3. Choose a target language.
4. Click on the "Translate" button.

Spell checking

You can check your spelling as you type. As Just Translate finds errors, it underlines misspelled words in red.

To correct a misspelled word:

1. Select the misspelled word.
2. Activate the contextual menu by pressing the right mouse button or - if you own an single button mouse - press the control key and then the mouse button.
3. Pick a suggestion from the menu.

Set your preferred languages

To set or change the languages Just Translate uses when you create a new document, choose Languages > Language Preferences, and select your preferred default languages.

Known issues

• A few languages are not supported by the spell checking feature.
• Some applications do not meet the Apple interface specification for contextual menu extensions. Unfortunately there is no or limited support for translations straight out these applications using the contextual menu.
