The keyboard also changes to Spanish, with the space bar labeled with “espacio” and the “go” key marked with “ir”. Since I’m going to be typing a Spanish phrase into the field for translation, I tap Spanish and the prompt changes to “Introducir texto”. Now the display shows a text field with buttons for the two languages, English and Spanish, at the bottom.
On the screen, you’ll see a prompt to Enter text – tap it. If you need to change the language, tap on one of the two languages, and the list of available languages is displayed – tap one to go to a new language. Pull out your trusty iPhone, fire up Translate, and make sure that English and Spanish are listed on the top of the screen. Perhaps you’re in a restaurant in A Coruña, Spain and you want to know exactly what a dish named “Pulpo Gallego” is. When the download is completed, the download button turns to a green checkmark to indicate that Spanish is now loaded onto my iPhone. To download a language for offline use, tap the blue download button to the right of the listed language To download Spanish to my iPhone, I just tap the download button to the right of Spanish and transfer the necessary files. Doing so displays a “Languages” screen showing recently-used languages, all languages available, and available offline languages. This is done by launching the app, then tapping one of the two languages listed at the top of the screen. I can download offline languages so that all of the translation is done on my iPhone – no internet connection or expensive roaming plan required. For example, let’s say I’m going on a European trip and will be visiting France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Translate can work with or without an Internet connection, but for the best usability, it’s best to download a language before you travel. Does the Translate app require an Internet connection?
In this first iteration of the Translate app, the following languages are supported: English (US & UK), Spanish (Spain), Chinese (Mandarin, Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Russian, German (Germany), French (France), Italian (Italy), Portuguese (Brazil), and Arabic.
What languages does the Translate app support? It’s called the Translate app, and it is part of the powerful feature set of iOS 14. Seemingly lost in all of the excitement about widgets, the app library, and new Memoji hairstyles in iOS 14 was the fact that the update provides the next best thing to a Star Trek Universal Translator.
