CAMERA TRANSLATE
Point Mate at a sign, menu, page, or screen. Translation is drawn straight onto the image where the original text was — perspective and rotation included — so you can read the world in your language without retyping a single word.

Switch to table mode for a side-by-side list view. Tap any row to highlight the matching block on the photo. Pinch to zoom in for fine detail. Pick from the library to translate screenshots and saved photos too.

DEFAULT TRANSLATOR (iOS 18.4+)
Set Mate as your system Default Translator and the Translate action across all of iOS — selected text in Safari, Mail, Messages, Notes, anywhere — uses Mate instead of Apple Translate. Open Settings → Integrations to enable it in one tap.

You get 250+ languages instead of Apple's 20, plus synonyms, definitions, phonetic transcription, reverse-translate, noun genders, and high-quality text-to-speech — right inside the system popover.

REBUILT SHARE EXTENSION
The Share-menu translator is fully rebuilt. Tap-to-hear, copy, synonyms, reverse-translate, and phonetic transcription now work right inside the Share sheet — no need to jump back to the app.

To use it: select text in any app, tap Share, then tap Mate. First time only, scroll the Share sheet to the right, tap "More" and turn Mate on.
