1756311084 Since my English is pretty poor, I’ve always been a heavy user of Google Translate. But after comparing AI-translated content with Google Translate, I realized how terrible Google’s machine translation really is! It’s truly easy to go from frugal to luxurious, but hard to go the other way. So I decided to let AI quickly vibe code one! Just do it! Since I’m a heavy user of Google Translate, I directly borrowed its UI! But all translation tools on the market look the same anyway!

Oh, if you don’t have time to read, just go use it directly! https://congcong.easykol.com/

My requirements are also simple: I want the speed of Google Translate and the accuracy of AI translation. Sometimes I also want to know why it translates a certain way, and sometimes I feel the translation isn’t great and want to ask further questions!

After having these requirements, I sent them to AI. In no time, AI gave me a first draft. After some fine-tuning, I got my own “Google Translate”. It looks like this:

Simple and clean. But is it actually useful? Let’s give it a try:

Below is the AI translation:

If it feels off, we can keep asking questions:

Beyond the above capabilities, the most noteworthy feature is the ability to customize prompts!

Set it once, enjoy forever! No more having to include presets with every question — troublesome and time-wasting.

Although it’s a very simple tool, it’s something I use every day. Now using my own version really saves me a lot of time, and I also incidentally learn English expressions while translating! Multiple gains in one.

Conclusion

Currently, there are still some points that can be optimized, such as:

  • Use nice fonts
  • Integrate pleasant text-to-speech
  • Custom translation model
  • View history

And so on, but these are just icing on the cake! It already meets my core needs. You’re welcome to use it and give feedback. Thank you for reading. Feel free to like this post, and may good luck be with you. See you next time!
