Translate emails with AI

The short answer

To translate an email with AI, forward it to your Airbox address with an instruction like “translate to English.” Airbox sends it to your own AI and emails back a faithful translation that keeps the tone and details. You can also ask it to draft your reply in the other person's language in the same step.

How to do it

  1. Get a free Airbox address and connect your AI provider key.
  2. Forward the email you want translated.
  3. Say the target language — “translate to English and summarize” — and send.

Example

Subject: Fwd: Devis fournisseur

(* @gemini translate to English, then draft a reply in French confirming the order *)

---------- Forwarded message ----------
...the email you forwarded...

Airbox can translate the inbound message and draft your outbound reply in the original language in one pass.

What it's good for

  • Reading mail from international clients and suppliers
  • Replying in the recipient's language without a translator
  • Summary + translation together for long foreign-language threads
  • Keeping numbers, names, and tone intact

Frequently asked questions

Which languages does it support?
Whatever your chosen AI model supports — modern Claude, GPT, and Gemini models handle a wide range of languages well. Pick the provider that's strongest for your language pair.
Can it reply in the other language for me?
Yes. Ask it to translate the message and draft a reply in the original language in the same email; Airbox returns both for you to review and send.
How much does it cost?
Airbox has a free plan to get started. You bring your own AI provider API key, so you pay the provider directly for the tokens you use — there is no AI markup from Airbox.
Is it safe to point Airbox at my real email?
Yes — that's exactly what Airbox is designed for. Airbox only acts on mail from senders you allow, and it only treats the subject and first body line (or a (* … *) block) as instructions. Everything else in a forwarded email is quarantined as untrusted content and never obeyed for your own security and privacy. Your API keys stay fully encrypted.
