Introducing DeepThink Mode: Translation That Thinks Before It Speaks

We're excited to announce DeepThink Mode — a new translation approach that takes a moment to reason about your text before translating it, resulting in significantly more accurate and natural translations.

What is DeepThink Mode?

Traditional translation works in a single pass: text goes in, translation comes out. DeepThink Mode adds a reasoning step between input and output. The AI first analyzes your text for:

  • Ambiguous phrases: that could be interpreted multiple ways
  • Cultural references: that need adaptation, not literal translation
  • Technical terminology: that requires domain-specific knowledge
  • Tone and register: that should be preserved in the target language
  • Contextual clues: that affect meaning

    • How It Works

    When you enable DeepThink Mode, the translation process follows three stages:

  • Analysis : The AI reads your entire text and identifies potential challenges
  • Reasoning : It considers multiple translation options for complex passages
  • Generation : It produces a translation that accounts for all identified nuances

    • When to Use DeepThink

    DeepThink Mode is ideal for:

  • Academic papers and research documents
  • Legal contracts and agreements
  • Marketing copy and brand messaging
  • Literary translations
  • Any text where nuance matters

    • For quick, everyday translations, our standard Fast mode remains the best choice — it's instant and handles most content excellently.

    Getting Started

    DeepThink Mode is available to all Pro and Ultimate subscribers. Simply toggle the brain icon in the translation panel to activate it. You'll notice the translation takes a few extra seconds, but the quality improvement is immediately apparent.
