Translating a web page is essential for many users who do not speak several languages. That is why Safari natively integrates a translator to facilitate this task. In this article we will tell you all the details about how you can use it.
Translate utility in Safari on iPhone and iPad
With the arrival of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, it was possible to translate web pages in the Safari browser. This is something that was already implemented in other browsers such as Google Chrome through its proprietary translator, and now it is also integrated into Safari. The utilities are obviously many, since if you are a person who cannot defend himself by reading or in English or in another language such as German, you could lose a lot of content by not understanding them.
This language gap has now been completely eliminated. You will be able to browse numerous websites and understand their content in a superficial way without any problem and without having to resort to external translators. Obviously, it should be taken into account that the translation offered is not always perfect since some words or phrases cannot always be translated literally, but it is certainly a good option.
What do you need to translate a website
It should be noted that this is an exclusive function of the iOS 14 software version. That is why this is a function totally limited to those devices that are compatible with iOS 14 and obviously this specific version must be installed. It is something that is fully linked to the ‘Translate’ application that came natively with iOS 14.
It is also important to note that this translation feature is not just limited to iPhones. With iPadOS 14 you can also perform this same translation on web pages that are in another language. Obviously, the requirements is to have an iPad compatible with this new version of the operating system and have it installed in its latest available version.
Translate in Safari easily
In order to use the translation function in Safari, situations may arise. In the first of these you should be quite fast since in the browser itself in the upper left corner you will see the translation icon. This is something that lasts really little, only in the first seconds of loading the web that is in another language. If you haven’t had time, the translation of a website itself is done by following these steps:
- Once you are on the web, go to the upper left on both iPhone and iPad.
- Click on the ‘Aa’ that will appear.
- In the drop-down menu you will see the option ‘Translate to Spanish’ if this is the language in which you use the operating system.
- At the moment the translation will appear on the screen.
- To revert the translation you must do exactly the same but clicking on ‘Show original’.
As we have mentioned, the language to which it will be translated will always coincide with the one you have configured in the operating system. What can be assured is that iOS or iPadOS detects the language in which the text of a web page is so that you do not have to enter it manually.
