TypeLang
Translate as you type — natural, not literal, anywhere
TypeLang is a macOS menu-bar app that translates what you're typing into natural, professional language — right where your cursor is. Press a shortcut, type in your language, hit Enter, and the fluent translation gets pasted automatically. Bring your own API key (Claude, GPT, Gemini) or run it fully local with LM Studio — no account, no subscription, nothing leaves your machine unless you choose a cloud provider. Free and open source.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built TypeLang because I speak Spanish but work daily with English-speaking teammates, and tools like Google Translate produce stiff, word-for-word English that doesn't sound like something a native speaker would actually write.
The idea was simple: hit a shortcut from anywhere, type in your language, and get a natural translation pasted directly where you were writing — no switching tabs, no copy-pasting into a browser.
It's BYOK (bring your own API key) — plug in Claude, GPT, or Gemini, or run it fully local with LM Studio/Ollama if you don't want anything leaving your machine. It's also fully open source under MIT.
Still early and macOS-only for now (Windows/Linux on the roadmap). Would love feedback, especially from other non-native English speakers working in international teams — what would make this actually useful in your daily workflow?
