iOS 14 added a new Translate feature for Safari that’s, per Apple. “designed to be the best and easiest app for translating conversations, offering quick and natural translation of voice and text among 11 different languages.”
Its on-device mode allows users to experience the features of the app offline for private voice and text translation. To use the Translate feature in Safari on iOS 16:
