CopyTranslator is a clipboard-based translation tool and multi-engine translation client that monitors the system clipboard to provide automatic language conversion. It functions as an assistant that integrates large language models, cloud translation APIs, and digital dictionaries to produce context-aware translations and side-by-side reading views.
The application includes a specialized PDF text cleaner to remove formatting artifacts and line breaks from copied content. It also features an optical character recognition extractor to convert images or screen captures into editable text for immediate translation.
The tool supports a variety of content processing workflows, including the aggregation of multiple clipboard segments to translate long paragraphs and the use of local language detection to identify source languages without a network connection. Users can customize the interface layout, visual styles, and translation display modes.
The software supports a portable execution mode that loads configuration files from the local directory to allow for installation-free use.
