Does ClipHistory store my Thai text in the cloud?

No. ClipHistory is 100% local—your Thai text stays on your Mac. Translations are sent only to your chosen AI provider (OpenAI, Claude, Google, etc.) using your own API key. No cloud syncing, no accounts, no ClipHistory servers involved.

How many clips can I save in ClipHistory?

ClipHistory saves your full clipboard history with 150 unpinned clips plus unlimited pinned clips. You can pin important Thai-English translation pairs forever for instant reference, while keeping a rolling 150-clip history for recent work.

What's the easiest way to translate Thai in ClipHistory?

Copy Thai text from any app, press ⌘⇧V to open ClipHistory, select the clip, and click "Translate" under AI Transforms. Your English translation appears instantly and stays in the clipboard ready to paste. It's one keystroke and one click.

Is ClipHistory a subscription, or do I pay once?

ClipHistory is $19.99 for a lifetime license—one payment, never recurring. You pay only once for the clipboard manager. Any AI provider charges (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) are separate and only for the translations you actually use, with no subscription required.

How to Translate Copied Thai Text to English on Mac: The Smart Way with AI

Copying Thai text and needing an instant English translation is a common workflow for Mac users—whether you're communicating across language barriers, researching, or managing multilingual content. The traditional approach means opening a translation app, pasting manually, waiting for results, and losing your original clipboard. There's a better way.

The Problem with Standard Translation on macOS

When you copy Thai text on your Mac, you face a friction-filled process:

Manual app-switching: Copy text, open a translator, paste, wait, switch back
No history: You lose track of what you've translated before
Privacy concerns: Cloud-based translators log your content
Repetitive work: Translating similar phrases means starting from scratch each time

For professionals handling Thai documents, chat messages, or web content daily, this workflow wastes minutes—and privacy.

Clipboard History Meets AI Translation

ClipHistory transforms how you handle Thai-to-English translation on Mac by combining a powerful clipboard manager with local AI translation in one workflow.

Here's the streamlined process:

Copy Thai text from anywhere on your Mac (webpage, email, chat, PDF)
Press ⌘⇧V to open ClipHistory instantly
Select the Thai text from your clipboard history
Hit Translate (via AI Transforms)
Get English instantly—no app-switching, no delays

Your translation stays in the clipboard, ready to paste where you need it. And ClipHistory remembers every translation, so repeating phrases are one click away.

Why Local AI Translation Matters

ClipHistory's AI Transforms feature supports five AI providers:

Anthropic Claude (excellent multilingual support)
OpenAI GPT-4 (highest accuracy for complex Thai)
Google Gemini (strong Thai understanding)
DeepSeek (cost-effective option)
Custom API (bring your own model)

The critical difference: You bring your own API key. This means:

✅ Your Thai text never touches ClipHistory's servers
✅ 100% local processing—no data logging
✅ Full control over which AI provider you trust
✅ No subscription lock-in to ClipHistory

You pay only for the AI service you choose (OpenAI, Google, etc.), not for the clipboard manager itself.
