Kagi Search Changelog Jan 9th, 2025 - Connect with the world with search result translation

Use Kagi Translate to translate search results

You can now use Kagi Translate to translate search results directly from the search results page. An icon will appear if we detect that the search result is in a language other than your interface language (inspired by 5809 @KamilKurde)

Click the icon and we will open Kagi Translate to translate the search result.

Ever since we launched Kagi Translate last month we've been getting nothing but praise for the service. It exploded in use, especially in Asia.

And we truly see the value of high quality, privacy respecting translation. So we continued building upon it.

• We've introduced speech input, making it easier to use Kagi Translate on the go or when navigating unfamiliar languages
• We introduced romanization for non-Latin languages as well as pronounciation for all supported languages
• The new Proofreading feature helps identify spelling and grammar issues in any text or even web page !

Just prefix any URL with translate.kagi.com/proofread to proofread any web page. Try it here on a random Kagi Small Web page.

New user onboarding experience

We've reintroduced our onboarding experience to help setting up Kagi to your liking. I guess you already went though onboarding so it won't matter as much to you, but it will to friends and family you send our way.

We also added some helpful tips to help maximise key features.

New model and LLM privacy guide

With this release, we've introduced the Deepseek v3 model to the Assistant. Alongside it, we've published a new privacy guide to provide full transparency about the LLM providers used by the Assistant and their data privacy policies. Check it out!

You can share your Kagi searches with anyone!

Simply click the share icon in the search options bar to share your search with anyone when you post online or in an email, even for people without a Kagi account!
