Hunted byDavid GarcíaDavid García

If you work in your second language, you probably open ChatGPT just to translate small things. TransLite removes that friction. With a single keyboard shortcut, it instantly replaces your text with a translation — in any app. Lightweight, minimal, and built for focus.

Hey everyone 👋 I'm David and I built TransLite because I kept opening ChatGPT several times a day just to translate small things. I work in English daily (Slack, email, forums), and the copy → paste → translate → paste back loop was constantly breaking my flow. So I decided to remove that friction. TransLite is intentionally simple: one keyboard shortcut, instant translation, no context switching. I’m keeping the first version minimal on purpose. My goal isn’t to build a full translation suite, but a tiny tool that disappears into your workflow. I’d love to hear: – Do you work in your second language daily? – Does this solve a real annoyance for you? – What would make it genuinely useful? Thanks for checking it out 🙏
