What Mate Translate is
Mate translates highlighted text or full pages, pronounces words, stores a phrasebook, and syncs translation data across supported devices. Its language coverage is wider than many single-purpose dictionary extensions.
Feature coverage
- Selection and full-page translation
- PDF and subtitle translation
- Pronunciation and synced phrasebook
What stands out
- Broad format and language support
- Large public rating sample
- Current 2026 maintenance
Tradeoffs to know
- Best cross-device features encourage an account
- Full-page translation needs page access
- In-app purchases gate some value
Permissions and privacy
Page access
Reading and accessibility tools may need to inspect or modify page content and, for speech features, process selected text. Restrict access on sensitive pages when practical.
Data notes
Text-to-speech and page-reformatting products may process page text locally or remotely. Check voice, account, and cloud-processing terms before using private documents.
Pricing
Free installation with in-app premium options. Pricing and plan limits change more often than store metadata, so use the linked developer page as the final check before subscribing.
