Mate + PopClip
Two powerful productivity apps team up. Mate works with PopClip, a beautiful little pane that pops up when you select text on Mac.
Super thanks so much! But can give choice for plase where will appear this window there tranlate?
Will be super ) from left side ! Now this is from right side)
I bought your app as soon as it came out. Final purchase - well before your subscription system is set up. I installed the application on both my computers. On one everything is fine but on the other it is blocked. It is not normal. Please repair this anomaly.
This is a great app. I went to the page in English and immediately translated everything I needed. No hassles or additional headaches. I sincerely don’t understand people who give bad ratings here, the application is up to par. Respect to the developers!
I would give 3 stars, however I got Mate for free as I was early supporter. 4 stars deserved in my case there is no alternative.
Safari plugin is disappointment.
1. It detects wrong language on websites. English websites like gate.tv, coinex.com, Czech websites and many more. I've disabled translate to Turkish and now Mate detects it is french language instead of english. If I remember correctly, this function cannot be disabled. I've disabled safari plugin.
2. Translate by double click sometime works but most of time it doesn't.
It would be nice if Mate was as tuned as google translator in UX design. Investment in better UX would be awesome, however I understand such investment would probably not be profitable.
Wish you many users and awesome updates.
It translates from German better than anyone else, surpassing the built-in macOS translator in quality. There is an extension for Safari that translates pages on the fly.
