Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m the maker of Transl. While working on Mac, I got constantly annoyed by having to break my focus, switch browser tabs, or open heavy translation apps just to look up a single word or phrase.
Translating shouldn't break your flow. So I built Transl—a lightweight, native macOS pop-up translator. You highlight any text, hit your shortcut, and get an instant translation right under your cursor without leaving your active app.
Key Highlights:
• System-Wide Hotkey: Works anywhere on macOS.
• Minimalist & Native: Built in Swift to stay fast and light.
• 100% Free & Open Source: Clean code, no ads, no trackers.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! What features or tweaks would make this even better for your daily workflow?
