Linguo Translate Offline & AI
Menu bar translator
Only for Mac
$3.99
Mac
A translator that never leaves the Mac menu bar. Offline by default. Optional AI. Shortcuts you set yourself.
Linguo Translate lives in the Mac menu bar. One click, a slim card, the sentence you need.
No Dock icon. No account. No browser tab. Type or paste — the other language fills in.
OFFLINE BY DEFAULT
Apple’s on-device translation runs on your Mac. Turn on Offline Mode to keep AI off. Your text stays on the Mac unless you turn on AI.
AI WHEN YOU WANT IT
Optional AI Translation uses Apple Intelligence or your own API. Off until you switch it on.
YOUR LANGUAGES. YOUR SHORTCUTS.
Keep the languages you actually use. Click a flag to swap one onto the card. Linguo detects what you typed and flips the pair if you paste in the other field. Set individual shortcuts for the card, selected text, Keep Open, and AI — or leave them empty.
PRIVATE
Data Not Collected. There is no Linguo account and no Linguo server.
HOW TO USE
• Click the translate icon in the menu bar
• Add two languages in Settings
• Type or paste — the other field translates
Only two languages on the card at a time. Extra languages stay in Settings, not in your way.
Requires macOS 15 or later.
