About the AI Translator
Tezmy's AI Translator translates text between nine languages: English, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese, in any direction. Choose the languages, paste up to 2,000 characters and press Translate. Paragraphs are kept, and Urdu and Arabic are shown right to left. The swap button turns the translation around so you can translate a reply back. Translations are made by Meta's M2M-100, a model built especially for translating between many languages, running on our AI service. Your text isn't stored. Machine translation is good for understanding and everyday messages, but have official or legal texts checked by a person.

Good uses, and when to get a human
Machine translation is great for understanding a message, a product description or a notice, and for writing simple replies to friends, customers or colleagues who speak another language. It is not a replacement for a certified translator when accuracy has legal, medical or financial consequences, such as visa documents, contracts, prescriptions or court papers.
Right-to-left languages and scripts
Urdu and Arabic are written right to left, so the text boxes switch direction automatically when you choose them. Hindi uses the Devanagari script and Bengali its own Bengali script. To type them on a phone, add the language keyboard in your phone's settings; on a computer, add the input language in your system settings.
On your phone or computer
On a phone, paste a message you received, pick the languages and translate; then write your reply, press swap and translate it back into their language. On a computer, keep the page open next to your email or chat and translate as you go. Before you translate a long text, see its size with the Word Counter, and for a message you write yourself try the AI Email Writer.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages can I translate?
English, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. You can translate from any of them to any other, for example Bengali to Arabic, not only to and from English.
How accurate is the translation?
For clear, everyday sentences it is usually good enough to understand and to send simple messages. It can struggle with slang, idioms, poetry, very long sentences and specialist terms, and it may miss politeness levels. For contracts, medical information or official documents, use a professional translator.
Can I translate English to Hindi or Urdu here?
Yes. Choose English under From and Hindi or Urdu under To. Hindi appears in Devanagari script and Urdu in Urdu script, shown right to left.
Can it translate Roman Urdu or Hinglish?
Not reliably. The model expects each language in its own script, so text like “aap kaise ho” may be translated poorly. For best results, type Hindi in Devanagari, Urdu in Urdu script and Bengali in Bengali script.
Why is there a 2,000-character limit?
Short texts translate faster and more accurately, and the limit keeps the service free for everyone. For a longer document, translate it a few paragraphs at a time.
Is my text private?
Your text is sent to our AI service only to translate it and isn't stored. Avoid translating passwords, ID numbers or other sensitive data with any online tool.
Can I translate a photo of text?
First get the words out of the picture with PDF OCR (it reads JPG and PNG images as well as PDFs), then paste the text here to translate it.
