Terms of Use

Last updated: November 5, 2026

By using MalTranslate (the "App") you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

1. The service

MalTranslate is a free tool that uses the Google Gemini API to read Malayalam text from images and translate it into English. It runs entirely in your browser and needs your own Gemini API key.

2. Your API key and Google's terms

You're responsible for your Gemini API key, how it's used, and any charges or quota limits on your Google account. Your use of Gemini through the App is also subject to the Gemini API Additional Terms and Google's Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy.

3. Acceptable use

Please don't use the App to:

• upload content you don't have the right to use, or that infringes someone else's rights;
• process other people's personal or sensitive information without their consent;
• break any law or Google's usage policies.

4. Accuracy disclaimer

OCR and translations are produced by an AI model and can be wrong, incomplete or misleading. Handwriting, low-quality photos and unusual fonts make errors more likely. Don't rely on the App for legal, medical, financial, safety-critical or official purposes. Have important text checked by a qualified human translator.

5. Your content

You keep all rights to the images you upload and the text you get back. We don't receive or store any of it. See the Privacy Policy.

6. No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. It may change, break or become unavailable at any time, for example if Google changes or retires a model.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the authors of MalTranslate are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the App, including losses caused by inaccurate translations, lost history, or charges on your API account.

8. Third-party trademarks

Google and Gemini are trademarks of Google LLC. MalTranslate is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

9. Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, and continued use of the App means you accept it.
