ChatGPT. Strictly speaking, it's not an online translator but an AI tool that can also translate. treat ChatGPT as if you're talking to a human. For example, you can say, "Hi mate, could you please translate this text for me: '.....'. The context is an email to my co-workers in Argentina, so please use Argentinian Spanish and make sure the translation uses the formal 'usted' and is appropriate for office conversation." After you receive your translation, you can ask for clarification or request changes. Just pretend you're talking to a helpful friend. It's also free to use and has apps for Android/iOS.
