Translation Hub - Compare AI Translations Side by Side

Your Personal Translation Lab is Here 🧪

You've configured multiple AI providers in Read Frog. But which one translates that particular sentence best? Until now, you'd have to switch providers, translate, compare, switch again...

Not anymore.

Translation Hub

Introducing Translation Hub — a dedicated translation workspace where you can send the same text to multiple AI models at once and compare results instantly.

Why Compare Translations?

Different AI models have different strengths. Some excel at casual conversation, others at technical jargon, and some nail literary prose. The "best" translation depends entirely on what you're reading.

Fun fact: We've seen cases where one provider perfectly captures the tone of an article, while another produces a more accurate but less natural translation. Now you can see both and choose for yourself.

Scenario	What Happens
Reading a novel	One model captures the emotion, another is more literal — you pick
Technical documentation	Compare precision across models to find the most accurate one
Casual social media	See which model sounds most natural in your language
Learning a language	Cross-reference translations to deepen your understanding

How It Works

Translation Hub opens in its own browser tab — a clean, distraction-free workspace built for focused translation work.

1. Open Translation Hub

Click the Translation Hub button in the Read Frog popup. It opens in a new tab with a clean, two-column layout.

2. Select Your Providers

Use the provider dropdown to choose which AI models you want to compare. Pick two, three, or as many as you've configured.

Pro tip: Try pairing a premium model (like GPT-4o or Claude) with a free or local model (like Ollama) to see if the cheaper option works just as well for your content.

3. Type or Paste, Then Translate

Enter your text in the input area and hit Translate (or press Cmd/Ctrl + Enter for a quick shortcut). All selected providers translate simultaneously.

4. Compare and Act

Each translation appears in its own card. You can:

Copy any translation with one click
Retry a specific provider if something looks off
Remove cards you don't need
