Translate & Rewrite
IrukaDark can translate or rewrite text directly where you're typing — no copy-paste needed. Select text in any app, press a shortcut, and the result replaces your selection in-place.
IrukaDark supports 16 languages:
English, Japanese (日本語), Chinese Simplified (简体中文), Chinese Traditional (繁體中文), Spanish (Español), Latin American Spanish (Español Latinoamérica), French (Français), German (Deutsch), Korean (한국어), Portuguese Brazilian (Português Brasil), Russian (Русский), Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Thai (ไทย), Italian (Italiano), Turkish (Türkçe)
Unlike a simple translator, IrukaDark explains text in context — beyond word-for-word translation — so you get intent, background, and plain-language explanations.
| Shortcut (macOS / Windows) | Action |
|---|---|
Option+R / Alt+R | Translate selected text (result shown in chat) |
Option+Shift+R / Alt+Shift+R | Translate & replace in-place |
Option+W / Alt+W | Rephrase with improved clarity (in-place) |
Three Modes
- Translate (
Option+R) — Translates the selected text into your configured target language. The result appears in the IrukaDark chat window, leaving the original text untouched. - Translate & Replace (
Option+Shift+R) — Translates the text and automatically replaces the original selection with the translation. Works in any text field — email drafts, chat messages, documents, code comments. The target language is configurable in Settings. - Rephrase (
Option+W) — Rewrites the selected text with improved clarity while preserving the original language and level of formality. The rephrased text replaces the original selection in-place — perfect for polishing sentences without leaving your editor.
In-place replacement uses the Accessibility permission on macOS to simulate a paste operation. If the replacement doesn't work in a specific app, check Permissions → Automation.
