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.

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.

upd
had to log in again, seems that app doesn't want you to use the account, and wants you to subscribe right away. UI wise it's done very badly, you need to tap 'RESTORE PURCHASES" and only THERE you will have an option to log in into an account if you ever claimed "premium" version of the app/extension. It still works.

Mate for Mac
The most complete
The most complete in the Mac App Store. I like that it has history and synchronizes on all devices. When you translate a word it is the only one that shows synonyms. The only thing that would improve is if pressing the browser icon in Safari translated the page directly.

pricing
I think it doesn't ask for money from me because I opened an account on time, it is very useful and I mentioned a small error, they fixed it with the update. Mate Translate is my best translation program.

After reinstalling MacOs. When starting it says: You now need a subscription to use Mate. But since you supported us from the beginning, you get a lifetime subscription Mate Pro is free. I enter my email (create an account) and the program closes :(

Fix the crash bug quickly

Good free app, but...
The app is nice, no majour issues, most of the times works properly, gives precise language translations. However, it sometimes gives partial page translation, whereas f.e. google translate give proper one (launched in google chrome) as well as troubles with launching the translation (need to turn on and off few times till it's start workin). Maybe it depends on a language, as I frequently need Hungarian—English translations. Overall, recomended for use!
