Using the Translator

Overview

The Translator is a two-panel surface for translating between a wide range of languages, each listed by its native and English name in a searchable picker. Pick your two languages once, then type on either side — the opposite side fills in with the translation. It runs through the same capability-first model routing and per-call billing as the rest of the platform.

How to translate

1. Open Translator from the menu.
2. Pick the two languages with the searchable pickers; the swap button in the middle flips them.
3. Type or paste your text (up to 8,000 characters per side). With auto-translate on, the translation appears moments after you stop typing; switch it off to review your text and press Send yourself.
4. Read the result in the opposite panel — both sides are editable text boxes, so you can copy, tweak and re-translate freely.

Voice conversations

Each panel also has a microphone button: record a sentence and ToRun transcribes it, detects which language was spoken, translates it, and — with voice reply enabled — speaks the translation aloud on the other side. Handy for face-to-face conversations across languages; for hands-free, continuous speech translation see Live Translation.

Choosing a model

A model picker lets you decide which text model does the translating. The default is a fast, low-cost model; you can switch to any available text model and your choice is remembered.

Cost and metering

Each translation turn is one AI call and writes exactly one BillingRecord with a full pricing snapshot. Longer texts cost more (billed per token), and the running session total and turn count are always visible at the bottom of the page.

Tips

• The Recent panel lists your previous translations — click one to load its text and language pair back into the form.
• For repeatable jobs (e.g. translating every new blog post), use translation as a step in a no-code workflow.
• Keep auto-translate off while composing longer texts, so you are billed once for the final version instead of on every pause.
