This tutorial will show you how to easily translate any web page into English language using iOS 14’s new Safari Web Page Translation feature. Read on to find step by step instructions on iOS 14’s web page translation feature.
iOS 14 brings a brand new feature to Safari that makes it possible for iPhone and iPad users to easily translate any non-English web page into the English language. Users can perform quick translations of a web page while using Safari, without needing any third-party app or service. This makes using iPhone or iPad’s built-in browser more convenient to use, especially for users who often browse non-English websites.
Once Safari has translated a page into English it replaces the web page’s non-English text with the English version. The best thing about this feature is that the rest of the web page layout remains the same, while only the text is replaced with the translated version.
Apple’s web page translation feature is still in beta and the translations had many grammatical errors. Having said that the text is very readable and the translation engine does a pretty good job at making the text understandable.
Do note that iOS 14’s translation feature currently only supports Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
