Plan the match in their language
Invites, strategy, "one more?": type as usual and the message goes out in your friend's language, in a casual chat tone.
Talk to anyone on Steam, in their language.
Steam chat translates nothing — not what you receive, not what you write. With QuickTranslate you type in your language in friends or group chat, press Ctrl+Alt+T and the message is translated right in the box, ready to send to your teammate.
Read what they write
Select a message and press Ctrl+Alt+S: the translation appears in a tooltip next to your cursor. Free and unlimited.
Doesn't touch your games
A Windows app that only acts when you press the shortcut. It injects nothing into Steam or your games and draws no overlays.

Frequently asked questions
Does Steam have a built-in translator?
No. Steam chat doesn't translate messages, neither in the client nor in the in-game overlay.
Does it work in-game, with the Steam overlay?
It works in Steam client chat and in any Windows text box. Inside a game running in exclusive fullscreen you may need borderless windowed mode for the shortcut to get through.
Can I get banned for using it?
QuickTranslate doesn't inject code or read game memory: it only simulates the copy and paste keys when you press the shortcut, just like you would by hand.
Translate without leaving what you're doing.
Install it once and it lives in your tray. Updates itself. Start free, no account.
