# Type and translate

> Type and translate allows you to translate a block of text using your custom LILT models. This is convenient for when you want to quickly translate content without having to commit to using a dedicated translator and reviewer. 

To access, navigate to the Type & Translate tab. LILT will instantly translate your text as soon as you begin typing. Change the source and target languages as needed; LILT will leverage the default model for the selected language pair.

* If you have more than one model configured for the language pair selected, you will see an option to select which model you would like to use.

### Third party model support

If your models have been configured with a third-party provider instead of with LILT, please note that these translations may take longer.
