Now type in your sentence in the text box provided below.
The app will then translate your word/ sentence and display it right under the original text.
Or you can also click the Microphone button and speak your words directly.
The translator will speak the translation automatically even if your phone is in silent mode.
If you wish to listen to the translation again, just tap on the play button, and it will speak the translation every time you hit it. Moreover, you can also get the definition of a word by clicking on the dictionary icon under the translated text.
Translating Conversations in the Apple Translator App
If you are conversing with someone who speaks the language you want to translate, Apple’s built-in translator can help translate the entire conversation and make it easily understandable between the two persons.
To do that, you need to turn on automatic detection. And the translator will automatically identify which language is being spoken and translate it to the other language. To translate an entire conversation, follow the steps below:
- Select the languages preferable for the conversation to take place.
- Now tap on one of the languages, and as soon as it displays the Language Screen, it swipes down to the bottom and enables the automatic detection feature.
- Once you are done, tap on the Microphone button and speak your sentence. The translator will automatically translate the sentence into the other person’s language.
- Again tap on the Microphone button and let the other person speak. Apple translator will automatically guess which language is being spoken and will convert it to your suitable language.
Via this process, you will get a more refreshed way of communicating with a person speaking another language, and the translator app will instantly translate every word to make the conversation understandable.
How To Download Languages For Offline Use?
Another great benefit the Apple translator offers is the freedom to download any language for further offline usage. So, in the worst scenario, you ran out of network, you could still translate your words whenever necessary. The steps to download a language is given below:
Launch the translator app on your iOS device. Tap on the language tab on the top of your screen.
Scroll down and look for the offline available languages.
Now, tap on the download icon beside the language.
Tap “Done” to complete the process.
The Apple translator app has only 11 languages in total, including Arabic, English, Chinese, French, Japanese, Italian, German, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish. However, it will most probably add more languages soon to the list.
How To Save Favorite a Translation?
Yet another important feature is the “Save to Favorites”. It can be quite helpful if you use a particular word or sentence more frequently. You can keep its translated version save in one or more languages so that you can access it seamlessly whenever you need it. To save a translation in Apple translator, the steps are as follows:
Launch the translator app. Select the two languages.
Type or speak a word or sentence.
Once the translator provides the accurate translation, click the Star icon next to the translated text to add to favourites.
Once you have added it successfully, you can later click on the Star icon simply and check for the translations you are looking for. All your favourites will be saved in the favourites list unless you want to delete them.
