Online Bidirectional Translation — Google Translate Link

Prepare text for translation between two selected languages and open Google Translate. Choose the direction manually for ambiguous text.

How to use

1. Choose two different languages in the two selectors above the input. Type or paste text in either language named in the input hint. Pairs without English are supported; on the English site, choose the second language yourself.
2. Use the direction selector below the input to choose Auto or either translation direction. Auto detects the direction from the text; if detection is unclear, choose a direction in the same selector. The selected direction appears in the control. Choose Auto to restore detection. Changing direction does not resize the input. When detection is ambiguous, the selector prompts you to choose a direction and the reason and action below are highlighted. A prompt to enter text in the selected languages is also highlighted. Digits and symbols alone cannot be translated.
3. Click Translate to send the original text and actual direction to Google Translate in a new tab. Nothing is sent while typing.

Background knowledge

Two-Way Translation

Language recognition identifies a language; translation expresses its meaning in another language. Script is a clue, but languages sharing an alphabet also require vocabulary and context to distinguish them.

Notes

• English mixed with a selected non-English script follows the non-English language. Mixed non-English scripts need a direction choice.
• Japanese and Chinese share Han characters. Han-only input in that pair needs manual direction; kana identifies Japanese. Detection uses scripts, not a language model.
• Manual direction persists while editing. Changing the pair, clearing input or choosing Auto resets detection. Digits and symbols alone do not enable translation.
• The original text appears in the Google Translate URL. Google services may be unavailable in some regions or networks.
• English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian and Vietnamese share Latin script. Translation between these languages requires manual direction selection; the detector cannot distinguish languages using the same alphabet.

Frequently asked questions

What can I use this online tool for?

Prepare text for translation between two selected languages and open Google Translate. Choose the direction manually for ambiguous text.

Can I choose a pair without English?

Choose any two different supported languages, such as Korean and Japanese. Selected scripts identify the direction where possible; mixed text and shared scripts may require manual choice.

Why must I choose a direction for English and Spanish?

They share Latin script, which cannot identify the language by itself. No external language-detection API is used. The text is sent in a Google Translate URL only when you choose a direction and click Translate.
