In their own words
Mate Translate
Mate Translate is a translation app for iOS, macOS, and browsers, with website translation and support for 250 languages. It offers Basic, Advanced, and AI translation styles; Pro adds a formality control. Translations can be spoken, with phonetics, word genders, and synonyms also available. Users can save and categorise phrases, while Pro syncs History and Phrasebook across devices. Browser extensions support text selection, manual full-page translation, right-click translation, and Netflix subtitles. The iOS app supports translation in Safari, iMessage, PDF files, Mail, and other apps. Pro includes offline translation, with iPhone and iPad support for more than 55 languages. Advanced and AI translations have daily and monthly fair-use allowances and a maximum request size; after limits, Mate falls back to Basic. There is no native Windows or Android app, though browser extensions work on Windows and Linux, and Firefox for Android supports the extension. Mate offers a free plan and a 7-day trial. Pro prices vary by plan and are shown in the app or account; listed subscription prices are not provided.
Weblate
Weblate is an open-source localization platform for connecting version-control repositories with translation work. New strings can move to translators, and completed translations can return to version control alongside project code. Translation context includes screenshots, nearby strings, source references, shared glossaries, and translation memory. Teams can use customizable quality checks, discussion, and review to catch problems. Machine translation and LLM suggestions are optional; human acceptance and reviewer approval can be required. Weblate supports website and document translation and lists formats such as Android and Apple iOS strings, .NET resources, gettext, JSON, XLIFF, YAML, and WebExtension JSON. Integrations include repositories, an API, add-ons, and import and export tools. It can be deployed using pip or Docker, with guides for OpenShift and Kubernetes. Platforms listed are API, Linux, self-hosted, and web. Self-hosting is free; cloud plans start at €47/mo, and cloud plans include a 14-day trial. Cloud hosting is priced by hosted strings, counting the source language.
