Translation

Yiddish to English and English to Yiddish, live as you type, with the direction detected for you. Plus the summon key that pulls text in from any program.

  1. 1
    Type or paste — it translates as you go

    Open Translate. Two panes: your text on one side, the translation on the other. Start typing or paste a letter and the translation updates by itself a moment after you stop — no button to press. Copy sits on the output pane.

    Both panes switch reading direction automatically, so Yiddish reads right-to-left and English left-to-right without you touching anything.

  2. 2
    The direction is detected for you

    Hebrew letters go to English; Latin letters go to Yiddish. A small “detected:” badge above the input tells you what the app decided — it recognizes Yiddish spelling, and tells Yiddish apart from Hebrew, from the way the words are written.

  3. 3
    Pull text in from anywhere with the summon key

    Reading a Yiddish email, a Yiddish web page, a document from a supplier? Select the text and press F8. The app comes forward with the text already in place. English text goes straight to Translate; for Yiddish and Hebrew a small picker asks whether you want to translate it, add nikud, or hear it read aloud — with a best guess highlighted, and 1, 2, Enter as shortcuts.

    Your clipboard is restored afterwards, whatever was on it.

    Both directions, one tool
    The same purchase covers Yiddish → English and English → Yiddish, so correspondence flows either way — and it all runs on your computer, offline.
  4. 4
    Use it from your AI assistant, too

    If you connect an AI assistant to the app, translation becomes one of the tools it can call — “translate this letter and read it to me” — while the actual translating still happens on your PC.

Translation — $89.00 once
