Use Kagi Translate to translate search results
You can now use Kagi Translate to translate search results directly from the search results page. An icon will appear if we detect that the search result is in a language other than your interface language (inspired by #5809 @KamilKurde)
Click the icon and we will open Kagi Translate to translate the search result.
Ever since we launched Kagi Translate last month we’ve been getting nothing but praise for the service. It exploded in use, especially in Asia.
And we truly see the value of high quality, privacy respecting translation. So we continued building upon it.
- We’ve introduced speech input, making it easier to use Kagi Translate on the go or when navigating unfamiliar languages
- We introduced romanization for non-Latin languages as well as pronounciation for all supported languages
- The new Proofreading feature helps identify spelling and grammar issues in any text or even web page !
Just prefix any URL with translate.kagi.com/proofread to proofread any web page. Try it here on a random Kagi Small Web page.
New user onboarding experience
We’ve reintroduced our onboarding experience to help setting up Kagi to your liking. I guess you already went though onboarding so it won’t matter as much to you, but it will to friends and family you send our way.
We also added some helpful tips to help maximise key features.
New model and LLM privacy guide
With this release, we’ve introduced the Deepseek v3 model to the Assistant. Alongside it, we’ve published a new privacy guide to provide full transparency about the LLM providers used by the Assistant and their data privacy policies. Check it out!
You can share your Kagi searches with anyone!
Simply click the share icon in the search options bar to share your search with anyone when you post online or in an email, even for people without a Kagi account!

Friggin Emoji Speak lmao.
I highly recommend you try to translate some news article to emoji speak; it’s awful/great:
I just had a browse through the languages to find the novelty ones and was quite surprised to see how long the list has gotten. It can translate to friggin Welsh and can even TTS it. I don’t speak Welsh but it sounded entirely incomprehensible, so it must be quite accurate.
It can TTS all the languages in fact; even Elvish. Quite impressive honestly and it’s getting to the point where Kagi translate could be a part of the subscription that holds significant value.The purposes I most use translation services for is to look up singular words in English because I forgot the term in my mother tongue but Kagi isn’t very good at that yet; classic dictionary service still beat it by a long shot.
It’d be great if Kagi could at least show alternative translations like Deepl does; I sometimes use that service.Translating some entire article in an unfamiliar language though, that’s where I can really see myself relying on it.
I didn’t know I’d like to see them build it but I’d love to see this fleshed out further now that they have.
