Free Text Translator — How It Works and Which Languages Are Supported
What powers this translator?
This tool uses the MyMemory Translation API (api.mymemory.translated.net), developed by Translated Labs. MyMemory is the world’s largest collaborative translation memory containing over 7.5 billion human-translated segments. It was built by aggregating translation memories from the European Union Parliament, United Nations documents, and professional translators worldwide. When a human-translated match exists for your text, it takes priority over machine translation. When no human translation is available, MyMemory uses ModernMT neural machine translation to provide a result.
Translate English to Spanish online free
The most-searched language pair globally is English to Spanish. The tool defaults to this pair on load. Type your English text, click Translate, and the Spanish translation appears immediately. The swap button reverses the pair to Spanish-to-English instantly. Spanish has over 500 million native speakers across 20 countries, making it the most practical second language for English speakers globally.
Translate English to French, German, Italian
European languages benefit from the highest-quality translation memory data, as the EU Parliament publishes all documents in all EU official languages. French (280M speakers), German (132M) and Italian (65M) have extensive professional translation archives that MyMemory draws on. These pairs typically produce higher-quality translations than machine-only tools because human-verified segments are prioritised.
Arabic, Hebrew, Persian — right-to-left languages
Arabic (370M speakers), Hebrew and Persian/Farsi are right-to-left scripts. The translation output box automatically adjusts text direction for RTL languages when displaying Arabic and Hebrew translations. Arabic is one of the six official UN languages and has particularly strong coverage in the MyMemory translation memory from UN document archives.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean
Chinese Simplified (zh) targets Mandarin as written in mainland China. Chinese Traditional (zh-TW) targets writing used in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Japanese (ja) supports hiragana, katakana and kanji output. Korean (ko) uses the Hangul alphabet. Note that MyMemory counts characters rather than words for CJK languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) toward the usage limit, given the higher information density per character.
Character limits and usage
Anonymous use of the MyMemory API is limited to 500 characters per translation request. For longer texts, divide them into paragraphs of under 500 characters and translate each separately. The character counter below the input box shows your current count. LazyTools does not store any text you enter into the translator. Text is sent directly to the MyMemory API endpoint and the translation result is returned to your browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
The tool supports 50+ languages including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bengali, Turkish, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Czech, Greek, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Swahili, Afrikaans, Catalan, and more.
The MyMemory API allows up to 500 characters per translation request for anonymous users. The character counter below the input box shows your current count. For longer texts, break them into separate paragraphs under 500 characters and translate each one individually.
MyMemory is the world’s largest translation memory, containing over 7.5 billion human-translated segments from the EU Parliament, United Nations, and professional translators. When a human translation exists for your phrase, it is returned with high accuracy. When no human translation is available, MyMemory uses ModernMT neural machine translation.
LazyTools does not store or log any text you translate. Your text is sent directly from your browser to the MyMemory API at api.mymemory.translated.net. MyMemory may use anonymously submitted translations to improve their translation memory database per their Terms of Service.
Click the swap button (⇄) between the two language dropdowns. This reverses the language pair and moves the current translation output back into the source text box, so you can continue translating in the other direction without re-typing.
The tool defaults to English-to-Spanish on load. Type or paste your English text (up to 500 characters), click Translate, and the Spanish translation appears immediately. Click Copy Translation to copy the result to your clipboard. No account or sign-up required.
Yes. Set the source language dropdown to Auto Detect. The MyMemory API will attempt to identify the source language of your text automatically before translating it to the chosen target language. This is useful when you receive text and are unsure of its language.
MyMemory prioritises human translation matches over machine translation. When a human-translated match is found, the result is typically excellent. When no human match exists and machine translation is used, quality may vary by language pair and domain. For the highest accuracy on professional content, consider DeepL (European languages) or Google Translate (widest language coverage and consistent neural quality).
