If you work in your second language, you probably open ChatGPT just to translate small things. TransLite removes that friction. With a single keyboard shortcut, it instantly replaces your text with a translation — in any app. Lightweight, minimal, and built for focus.
Hey everyone 👋
I'm David and I built TransLite because I kept opening ChatGPT several times a day just to translate small things.
I work in English daily (Slack, email, forums), and the copy → paste → translate → paste back loop was constantly breaking my flow.
So I decided to remove that friction.
TransLite is intentionally simple: one keyboard shortcut, instant translation, no context switching. I’m keeping the first version minimal on purpose. My goal isn’t to build a full translation suite, but a tiny tool that disappears into your workflow.
I’d love to hear:
– Do you work in your second language daily?
– Does this solve a real annoyance for you?
– What would make it genuinely useful?
Thanks for checking it out 🙏

@davizgarzia I’m all about tools that make life easier and cut out extra steps. Just tried this one and it seriously delivers! Love it!

@ana_rebollo Thank you Ana :D
@davizgarzia How do you handle language detection and accuracy? Do you use built‑in detection models or chain out to multiple services?
I like this app. Is it possible to set shortcuts without having to copy and paste content ?
Will it support the Apple Intelligence model?
This is great... I've been opening chatgpt and google regularly to translate emails or messages... translite makes it really convenient... congrats!
