# Clipboard

**The Clipboard feature automatically translates any text copied to the clipboard.**

## How It Works

When you copy text to your clipboard from any source, VNTranslator automatically detects it and displays the translation in the [Extra Window](https://docs.vntranslator.com/features/extra-window). This works with any applications on your computer.

## What You Can Translate

The Clipboard Translator works with:

* Visual novels and games that have a "Copy Text to Clipboard" feature
* Third-party applications or game mods that support clipboard copying
* Text from websites in any web browser
* Chat applications and messaging platforms
* Documents and text files from any program
* Any other application that supports text selection and copying
