Translate to Spanish Instantly on Your Mac

You're drafting an email to a client in Madrid, a message to a colleague in Mexico City, or product copy for a Spanish-speaking market. You know roughly what you want to say, but getting the phrasing right — natural-sounding, professional Spanish — means opening Google Translate in another tab, copying text back and forth, and hoping nothing gets lost along the way.

It's slow, it breaks your flow, and browser-based translators often miss the tone you're going for. What you need is a way to translate to Spanish right where you're writing, without leaving the app.

How WunderType Handles It

WunderType sits in your Mac's menu bar and lets you create Custom Prompts — AI-powered text actions with their own keyboard shortcuts. You can build a "Spanish Phrase Perfect" prompt that translates selected English text into fluent, context-aware Spanish. It considers idiomatic expressions, adjusts for professional tone, and corrects any grammatical issues in the output.

Once it's set up, the workflow is: select your English text, press your shortcut, and the translated Spanish appears in place. No tab switching, no copy-paste chains.

See It in Action

Say you're writing an email and you have this draft in English:

Before

I need to send an email to my client in Madrid. It's really important that I convey the urgency, but I'm not great with the language. Something like, 'Please expedite this matter' sounds a little too forceful, doesn't it? Also, is 'agradecerle' the right way to say thank you in this situation?

Select the text, press ⌥⇧⌘T, and WunderType transforms it to:

After

Estimado/a [Client Name],

We are prioritizing this matter and kindly request your prompt attention. We appreciate your collaboration in ensuring a swift resolution. Thank you for your assistance.

The translation captures the professional tone and urgency without sounding forceful — exactly what you'd want when writing to a Spanish-speaking business contact.

English to Spanish Translation That Fits Your Context

Most translation tools treat every sentence the same regardless of where it's going. An email to a client needs different phrasing than a social media post or technical documentation. WunderType's Custom Prompts let you tailor the instruction to your specific use case — you can tell it to prioritize formal business Spanish, casual conversational tone, or region-specific vocabulary for Mexico vs. Spain.
