Why Mate?

Mate's the most powerful lingual app for Mac. It knows and shows languages with ease. With near-native integration and super smooth design, Mate lets you work faster and look good doing it.

No opening a translator. Mate's in your menu bar and pops up when you call on it, then it disappears so you can continue with text you understand.

Customize the app to fit your workflow. View phonetics, transliteration, and noun genders. Organize a personal Phrasebook and export with ease. Quickly access your synced phrases on any device. Mate's a solid mate.

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.

Download PopClip and then get its Mate extension for even faster translation.



Mate + Netflix

Expand your vocabulary by watching favorite shows and movies. Mate lets you easily translate Netflix subtitles.

Excellent app
Many thanks to the creators of this application. I use it every day, it helps me enormously when reading or producing a text. Translations are accurate, there is little or no loss of meaning from one language to another. And then, I also appreciate the ease of use and the speed of translation is impressive. This software has become indispensable to me and I highly recommend it.

Great, a must have!
This small and optimal software, it translates your web pages perfectly with the choice of your required language of choice and is installed in the bar for more personal copy and paste or simple searches for translation of texts or words, very precise and rich choice. Best of all, it also translates into audio for perfect pronunciation, I bought it, I can't live without it.

Error
I bought your app as soon as it came out. Final purchase - well before the establishment of your subscription system. 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.
