VPNs Aren't Bulletproof: 7 Common Misunderstandings About VPN Security

I get automatic notifications when web pages change: here's how and why i do it, tor browser 13.5 is a last hurrah for old windows pcs and macs.

Often find yourself on websites with text in a foreign language? If you use Safari, there's no need to go to Google Translate. You can translate web pages between seven languages right in Safari on a Mac.

Starting with Safari 14.0, Apple included a translation feature directly in the browser. As of this writing, the feature is in beta, but fully functional. If your Mac is running the latest version of macOS Mojave, Catalina,  Big Sur , or newer, you can access the translation feature.

The translation functionality works between the following languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

By default, you can translate any of the above languages to English. You can also add more languages to the mix (we'll talk more about that below).

To get started, open a web page in one of the supported languages. Safari will automatically recognize that language, and you'll see "Translation Available" in the URL bar, along with a Translation button; click it.

If this is the first time you've used the feature, a pop-up will appear. Click "Enable Translation" to turn on the feature.

In the translation menu, select "Translate to English."

The text on the page will instantly convert to English, as shown in the image below. The Translation button will also turn blue.

To disable the Translation feature and return to the original language, click the Translation button again, and then select "View Original."

As we mentioned above, you can also translate to languages other than English. To do so, click the Translation button, and then select "Preferred Languages."

This opens the "Language & Region" menu in System Preferences. Here, click the plus sign (+) to add a new preferred language. You can add multiple languages here while continuing to use English as the default language across your Mac.

In the pop-up, select the languages you want to add, and then click "Add."

System Preferences will ask if you want to make this your default language. Choose the previous default language if you want it to remain the status quo.

Now that you've added a new preferred language, you'll see the translation button even when you visit web pages that are in English.

The translation process for a preferred language is the same: click the Translation button in the URL bar, and then select "Translate to [the language you selected]."

Again, you can view the original at any time by simply clicking "View Original" in the Translation menu.

If you're traveling to a new country, you can also use the built-in Translate app on your iPhone or iPad to quickly translate speech between multiple languages.

• If you visit another web page of the same site in the same tab, that page will be automatically translated as well. Safari will stop translating automatically if the page is not in the same original language or on a different domain.

Safari makes it simple to translate almost any web page in its entirety. 

Maybe it’s not an entire web page you want to translate but a certain part. It might be a sentence or a paragraph. You can do this using Live Text and then take advantage of the additional options you have.

• Select the text you want to translate by dragging your cursor through it to highlight it.

You can decide the availability of languages when you use Safari’s translation feature . Here’s how.

• At the top of the window, you’ll see  Preferred Languages  listing those you have available for translation.

• You’ll see a message asking if you want to change your primary language to the one you want to add. Choose the option you want, and you’ll then see the new language displayed in your Preferred Languages list.

• When you finish, close the System Settings. You should then see your updated languages available when you select the  Translate  icon in Safari.

If you translate a page and believe the translation may be inaccurate, you can let Apple know. This helps Apple improve translations moving forward.

• You’ll see a message pop-up letting you know that Apple will store and use the web page address contents to improve translations. Pick  Report  to send the information to Apple.

Don’t let language barriers stop you!

With the built-in translation feature in Safari on Mac, you don’t have to use a third-party translator or bypass a potentially great web page because it’s in a different language.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to use translate webpages in safari for mac.

Ever ended up on a webpage in a different language and wished you could translate it instantly? With the latest versions of Safari for Mac, you can use a native translation feature to convert a webpage from a foreign language to your native tongue. This is fantastic for many obvious reasons, particularly if you want to read international news from an original source rather than a regurgitated spin version from a US outlet.

Safari’s built-in language translation feature is for modern versions of Safari and macOS, so as long as you’re running Safari 14 or newer in macOS Big Sur or newer, you’ll be good to go. If you’re on an earlier version of MacOS, then you may find use in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, which also have native language translation features available, or you could use an iPhone or iPad if they’re running modern system software, as Safari for iOS and iPadOS have the translation capability too.

Want to try out the new translation feature to translate webpages in Safari on the Mac? Then read on!

How to Translate Webpage Language in Safari for Mac

Assuming your Mac is running a modern version of macOS and Safari, here’s how you can translate webpages:

There you go. Now you’ve learned how to take advantage of the new built-in translator in Safari on your Mac.

Current supported languages for translation are English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

If you’re unable to find the native translator in Safari and you’re running Safari 14 or later on macOS 11 or later, it’s probably because you’re living in an unsupported region or trying to use an unsupported language. This new feature is currently limited to users living in the United States, UK, and Canada, but will expand as time goes on. If you’re too impatient to wait, you can change your Mac’s region to either of these countries and then access the translator.

Do you use an iPhone or iPad as your primary mobile device? If you’ve updated your device to iOS 14/iPadOS 14 or later, you will be pleased to know that you can translate webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad in a similar manner as detailed here .

I live in the Netherlands. Using iMac 10.15.7, Safari 14.0.3. I did not get the translate icon. In iMac preferences, in Language and Region I changed Country to US and in UK, after restart neither produced a translate icon. I tried iPhone 11, iOS 14.4.2, tried Safari using same website, No translation icon….

What is wrong?

Translate is available for English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. The Mac must be running macOS 11 or newer to have this capability.

On the iPhone and iPad, the translate feature is tucked behind the webpage options accessible in the URL bar.

For Mac users running prior versions of MacOS, Chrome offers a similar webpage translation feature.

Conversely, I’m using Safari 14.03 on a Mac in France and I have got the translate icon.

I am using Safari 14.0.3 on MacBook Pro 10.14.6 in the UK and I do not get the translate icon showing when using a foreign language site.

I also have an iPad not showing there either.

The translation feature is only available in macOS Big Sur or later for Mac, and iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or later on iPhone and iPad. There was a typo by the original author which mentioned Safari 14 as the prerequisite rather than macOS 11, that has been fixed.

Hope that helps, sorry about the confusion!

This very necessary link provides an error:

Please fix and resend an email to subscribers.

I’ve been trying this with 14.0.3 on Catalina, but like Jeff, I do not get the translate icon on a foreign website.

I’ve been trying all afternoon with this tip, safari 14 latest Catalina. No translate icon ever appears; it almost feels like it hasn’t been switched on. Any thoughts?

I am running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacMini with MacOS 10.15.7. It does not have the translate icon. I am also running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacBookPro with MacOS 11..2.1. It has the translate icon. When I first tried to post this reply, the osxdaily.com website reported this to be a duplicate reply.

This is in macOS 11 or newer only, it’s a Big Sur feature not a Safari 14 feature

I am using Safari 14.03 on a Mac running 10.15.7 in the US and I do not get the translate icon when I go to a foreign language site. Could this be a OS 11 only feature?

I have 2 macintosh computers. The first is a MacMini running 10.15.7 with Safari 14.0.3 and it does not have the translate icon. The second is a MacBookPro running 11.2.1 with Safari 14.0.3. It has the translate icon. Both computers were checked using the http://www.lemonde.fr website.

I have the same problem as Jeff, using the same Safari and latest Catalina. Almost feels like translate isn’t switched on.

Any thoughts?

Same here. Catalina with Safari 14.03. Texas is in the US, though some might disagree.

How To Translate Web Pages In Safari

The international nature of the internet is one of the best things about it. You can visit web pages and find information from countries all across the world, but this also means it's likely you'll stumble across sites that are written in different languages. It can be a major hassle to translate web pages using third-party software or other means, especially if you don't visit websites outside of your native language very often. 

Fortunately, many modern web browsers possess the ability to translate web pages natively, so you can still read the content in your preferred language. Apple has included a translation feature in its Safari browser, so you can easily translate pages on Mac, as well as the iPhone and iPad. This article covers the translation process on each respective Apple device, as well as how to navigate any hurdles you may encounter.

How to translate web pages in Safari on Mac

To translate a web page in Safari on Mac computers, you need to be using Monterey 12 or Big Sur 11.0 . Also, the page needs to be compatible with the translation feature. Here's how to find out whether you can translate the web page in Safari and how to do it (via Apple ).

1. If Safari can translate the web page, you'll see the "Translate" icon appear in the Smart Search bar at the top of the browser. 

2. Click on the "Translate" button.

3. Select the preferred language you want the page translated into.

4. If prompted, select "Enable Translation."

5. To change it back, select the Translate icon again and click on "View Original."

If you don't see the language you want to translate the page into, try this:

Go to Apple menu > System Preferences.

Select "Language & Region."

Select "General."

Click on "Add" to add a language to your list of preferred languages.

After you add a language, go back to the web page and look at the Translate list again to see if your preferred language has appeared.

How to translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad

The ability to translate web pages is available on devices running iOS 14 or later. You'll also need to be on a web page that is compatible with this feature. Here's how to translate pages in Safari on iPhone or iPad devices with iOS 14 or newer.

If the web page can be translated, you'll see the "Translate" icon flash for a second in the search/address bar at the top.

2. To translate the page, tap on the website options icon, which looks like the letter "A."

3. Tap on "Translate to [Preferred language]."

4. Tap "Enable Translation" if it appears.

5. The page will be translated. To go back to the original language, tap on the website options icon and select "View Original."

If the language offered isn't what you want the web page translated into, you'll have to change your preferred language order in your iPhone settings. Here's how:

Go to the Settings app.

Go to "General" > "Language & Region."

3. Under "Preferred Language Order," either move a language to the top or select "Add Language," choose one, and set it as your top preferred language.

4. Your iPhone will restart to make the change.

Be careful when making this change, as it will change supported apps and websites to your first preferred language.

How to translate web pages in Safari on older versions of iOS

You're not out of luck if you're an iPhone owner using an earlier iOS version than 14. You can also easily translate Safari web pages with the workaround of using an app, such as Microsoft Translator. This app comes with a Safari extension as well, making it a great choice for translation. Here's how to use Microsoft Translator on a Safari webpage (via Microsoft ).

1. On Safari, go to the web page you need translated. 

2. Select the text you want to be translated by tapping and holding it, and then moving the selection bars on the text. 

3. Now tap on the "Share" button that appears in black above the text or the icon at the bottom middle of the Safari menu. 

4. Scroll down and tap on the "Translate" button, which appears if you have Microsoft Translator downloaded. 

5. Choose the source language and the target language to get your translation. 

6. Tap "Done" to close the translator.

This can also be good to use on websites that normally don't provide the translation option, even in iOS 14 or above. 

Can Safari automatically translate web pages?

When you first visit a web page on Safari in a foreign language, it will detect if it can be translated to a different language based on what you have set in your Preferred Languages settings. From there, you'll need to choose to translate it using the instructions above. However, you won't need to do this for every page on the site. Safari will also translate pages on the same domain you originally translated from. 

If you go to a website of a different language or visit a different domain, Safari will then end the automatic translation. Also, if you close the site and then come back to it, it will no longer be translated (via Apple ). So, you'll need to choose to translate web pages yourself every time you visit a website in a foreign language. From there, though, pages within the same domain will be translated automatically.

How to Translate Page on Safari

It's free and super easy to set up

If you're browsing through foreign websites and come across a language you don't understand, you might be wondering how you can translate the page without leaving Safari. Fortunately, Safari has an in-built translation feature that can help you out! In this article, we'll take a look at how to translate page on Safari, as well as alternative methods to utilize for this task.

Understanding Safari's Translation Feature

Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of using Safari's translation feature, it can be helpful to understand how it works. Essentially, this feature is powered by Apple's translation technology, which can automatically detect the language of a web page and translate it into your preferred language.

But how does this technology work? Well, it's quite fascinating. Apple's translation technology uses a combination of machine learning and natural language processing algorithms to analyze the content on a web page. It looks for patterns and linguistic cues to determine the language being used, and then uses an appropriate algorithm to translate the text into your preferred language.

One of the most impressive aspects of this technology is its ability to accurately translate idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms. This is thanks to the machine learning algorithms that have been trained on vast amounts of text data, allowing them to recognize and accurately translate even the most complex of phrases.

How Safari Translation Works

When you visit a website in a language other than your system language, Safari will automatically detect the foreign language and ask if you'd like to translate the page. The web page will then be translated into your preferred language. Behind the scenes, Safari uses machine learning technology to identify the type of content on a page and translates it using an appropriate algorithm.

It's important to note that Safari's translation feature is not perfect, and there may be some inaccuracies in the translations. This is particularly true when it comes to translating complex technical or scientific language, as the algorithms may not be able to accurately capture the nuances of these fields.

Supported Languages in Safari Translation

Safari's translation feature supports a wide range of languages, including Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. To ensure the best translation quality, it's recommended to use one of the supported languages.

It's also worth noting that Safari's translation feature is constantly being updated and improved. Apple is always working to refine its translation algorithms and add support for new languages, so it's worth checking back periodically to see if your preferred language has been added.

In conclusion, Safari's translation feature is a powerful tool that can make browsing the web in foreign languages much easier. While it may not be perfect, it's certainly a step in the right direction towards a more connected and multilingual world.

Enabling Translation on Safari

Updating safari to the latest version.

Before you can use Safari's translation feature, it's essential to ensure that you have the latest version of the browser. To check if your browser is up-to-date, go to the "Safari" menu from the top-left of the screen and select "About Safari."

Activating Translation in Safari Settings

Once you've updated Safari, enabling the translation feature is straightforward. First, go to "Preferences" in the Safari menu. From there, select the "General" tab, and in the "Language" section, tick the "Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language I read" option.

Translating a Web Page in Safari

Using the translation icon in the address bar.

If you've enabled Safari's translation feature, translating a web page is incredibly easy. Simply go to the page you'd like to translate, and you'll notice a translation icon in the address bar on the right side. Click on this icon, and the web page will automatically be translated into your preferred language.

Right-Clicking to Translate a Page

If you'd prefer not to use the translation icon in the address bar, another option is to right-click on the page you'd like to translate. A drop-down menu will appear, and you'll see the option to "Translate to English" (or another language, depending on your preference).

Translating a Page from the Safari Menu

If you'd like to translate a page from the Safari menu, go to "View" and select "Translate Page." This will bring up a new window where you can select the language you'd like to translate the page into.

Troubleshooting Translation Issues

Dealing with unsupported languages.

While Safari's translation feature supports a range of languages, there may be times when you come across a web page that Safari can't translate. In this case, you can try using an online translation service or a browser extension to translate the page.

Resolving Translation Errors

If Safari's translation feature is translating a web page incorrectly or not translating it at all, there are a few things you can try to resolve the issue. First, clear your browser cache and cookies. If that doesn't work, try disabling any third-party browser extensions that may be interfering with Safari's translation feature.

Clearing Cache and Cookies to Improve Translation

Clearing your browser cache and cookies can significantly improve Safari's translation accuracy. To clear your cache and cookies, go to "Safari" in the menu bar and select "Clear History." From there, select "All History" and "Clear History."

Alternative Translation Methods for Safari

Using browser extensions for translation.

If you're looking for a more robust translation tool, browser extensions such as Google Translate can provide additional functionality beyond Safari's built-in feature. To use Google Translate, download the extension from the Chrome Web Store and open the web page you'd like to translate. The Google Translate icon will appear, and you can select the language to translate the page into.

Utilizing Online Translation Services

Another option for translating web pages is to use online translation services such as Bing Translate or DeepL. To use these services, copy the URL of the web page you'd like to translate and paste it into the translation service's website. From there, select the language to translate the page into.

Safari's translation feature is a handy tool for translating web pages on the fly. Whether you're browsing foreign websites or trying to decipher technical documentation, Safari's built-in translation can help you out. If you encounter any issues with Safari's translation feature, there are also alternative methods to consider, such as browser extensions or online translation services.

How to Use the Built-In Translator in macOS Big Sur’s Safari

With macOS Big Sur, you can translate entire web pages in Safari. When you encounter a compatible page, just click the translation icon (see in the graphic below) in the address field to translate into English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese in real-time.

Here’s how to translate web pages in Safari:

• In the Safari app on your Mac, go to the webpage you want to translate.
• Move the pointer over the Translate button in the URL file (it looks like toward balloons with an “A” in one) to see if a translation is available. If the webpage can be translated, the Smart Search field displays Translation Available.
• Click the Translate icon, then choose a language.

Preferred Languages

If you want to translate a page into a language other than English, go to the Apple menu and click System Preferences > Language & Region.

You’ll see the default preferred language on the left side of the window. To change it, click the “+” button at the bottom of the screen.

By the way, if the translate icon doesn’t show up, click the View option in the web browser’s menu bar and click Translate .

You can also use Chrome to automatically translate webpages.

Chrome for iOS includes a built-in translator.

• Download the Google Chrome app for iOS here (it’s free)
• Open Chrome on your iPhone or iPad.
• Go to the page you want to translate.

• Tap on English (assuming that’s your default language).
• The page will translate into your language. If you want to see the original then just tap on the other language shown.

Sometimes we found that the translation option wasn’t immediately visible, this may be due to a delay while the translation takes place or it may just need to be triggered by scrolling around on the page a bit.

Using Google Chrome on a Mac

You can also translate webpages using Chrome on the Mac.

• Open Chrome on your Mac. (You can download it here )

• You will see two language options: your own language and the one the page is written in. Choose your language.

Using Google Translate on a Mac

If you would rather not use Chrome, you can just use the Google Translate webpage to translate entire webpages.

• Go to the Google Translate webpage.

• Now choose the language you wish to translate it into.

Once you are viewing the page in the translated language any links you click on within the page will be automatically translated for you. This is particularly useful if you want to translate entire websites.

Another language related feature coming in iOS 14 is the new Translate app. You can learn how to use that here: How to use Apple Translate .

How to translate a page in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Learn how to use Apple’s built-in translation tool to translate web pages in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac if you come across a website that’s in a language you can’t read or understand.

Supported devices and languages

You can use Apple’s native web page translation feature inside Safari on an iPhone, iPad, and Mac running iOS 14, iPadOS 14, or macOS Big Sur and later to translate into the following languages :

• Chinese (Simplified)
• Chinese (Traditional)
• Portuguese (Brazil)

This method requires no third-party app download or Siri shortcut installation.

How to translate a web page in Safari

On iphone or ipad.

• Visit the website you want to translate in Safari.
• Tap AA from the address bar and choose Translate to English or a language you see there.
• The first time you do this, Apple will ask your permission to process your request. Tap Enable Translation .

• View the website in Safari.
• Click the translate icon , and choose Translate to English or a language visible here.
• Click Enable Translation if this is the first time you’re using this service.

Using Apple’s web page translation

• Automatic translation: After translating one web page on a website, if you tap another link on that same site (domain) in the same original language, Safari should automatically translate it to your chosen language so you don’t have to follow the translation steps again and again while reading that website.
• View Original: After you follow the above steps, you can tap the AA button on iOS or the translate icon on Mac and choose View Original to get back to the original language of that web page.
• Inform Apple of issues: If you think the translation provided by Apple in Safari is incorrect, inappropriate, or broken, use the Report Translation Issue button, pick an appropriate reason, and hit Report to submit your feedback.

Add more language to Safari translation

Apple says that “ the availability of translations and the number of languages that can be translated may vary by country or region .”

With that in mind, you can have more options for Safari translation by adding that language to your system’s language settings.

Go to Settings > General > Language & Region > Add Language and select a language . Now, you can choose to set this new language as your primary system language for all menus, settings, and everything. However, if you only need to use it for translation, tap Use English (or your current system language). This will add the new language to your iPhone but still keep English as the primary system language.

Now go to Safari, and it should automatically refresh your open web pages. After that, follow the above steps, and you will see Translate Website instead of Translate to English. Tap Translate Website and pick a language .

Click the translate icon in the Safari address bar and choose Preferred Languages . You can also reach this setting screen by going to System Settings > General > Language & Region . Now, click the plus button (+) under the Preferred Languages heading, choose your language, and click Add . Like the iPhone, you can use the new language as your system language or continue to use English. After this, if you’re prompted to add this new language to your Mac’s keyboard, you can hit Cancel .

Next, visit Safari, and you should see the option to Translate to the newly added language .

Restart your device if you don’t see the language for translation in Safari even after adding it by following the above steps.

How to translate websites that won't in Apple Safari

Translation in Safari

Last updated 3 years ago

Apple has had a habit of using the word "magical" for anything new, but in this specific case it's the correct term. If you need, or just want, to read websites in languages you don't understand, Safari is genuinely magical.

Go to a website in Safari and, if its in one of a select few languages, it can all be translated . And all really does mean all.

Rather than translating a sentence here or there, Safari will redraw the page with every bit of text changed into English. More, if you go from that page to another one on the same site, you don't even have to tell Safari you want that translated too.

Until you leave a site, or you tell Safari to switch back to the original language, everything will be translated for you automatically and very quickly.

There is this issue that Safari is limited in how many languages it can do this for, but that will increase over time. What's perhaps more pressing is that you often don't want an entire site translated, you just want to know what this bit says.

Choosing languages to translate

It's a big job adding the facility to translate a given language and it is going to take time for more to be added to Safari. That's a pain if your preferred languages are not yet available, but it's also understandable.

What's less understandable is how hard it can be to determine what languages you can translate. By default, Safari will recognize a number of languages and tell you when a translation is available.

However, Apple says that you may be able to add more by altering your region settings. If you go to System Preferences , choose Language & Region , then click on General , you do get options.

There's a list of your preferred languages, which may well only contain one. But there's a plus sign at the bottom of the list and through that you can add many more.

Except there doesn't appear to be any clear way to determine from the list of available languages, which ones can be translated automatically. Not by Safari, and presumably not by the forthcoming macOS Monterey.

How translation will improve in macOS Monterey

The forthcoming macOS Monterey is going to address this. It will feature Safari's translation technology, but apply it system-wide.

So whatever you're doing on your Mac, including reading the web in browsers other than Safari, macOS Monterey can provide translations. Selecting text anywhere on your Mac and then right-clicking, will bring up a Translate option.

For now, though, you have to select text, copy it, and then take it to another service.

Using online translators

Easily the best-known online translator is Google's and if you do this a lot, translate.google.com is a very familiar address. What you get there looks like an online version of Apple's own iOS Translate app, in that you get two text areas.

Paste or type text into one side, read the translation in the other. Google will determine what the original language is, and will default to showing you the result in English. You can, though, change either side as you need.

Very broadly, though, Google is strong on translating quite short snippets. It's the reason those two text boxes are a little on the small side.

There is also a Documents option in Google Translate, though. Choosing this lets you load an extremely wide range of document types, from Word through PowerPoint, and have them translated.

When you're doing longer documents, though, there are alternative services such as DeepL Translator . It costs from $7 per month for a version with no limits on the length of text it will translate.

But there is also a free one that will translate an unspecified limited number of words. The advantage of DeepL Translator, and other services, is that they tend to be better at longer texts. They tend to be better when you want more than a rough idea of what's being said.

Speeding up how to get to online translators

It's not as if it's a burden to copy and paste some text into Google Translate. Nor is it arduous to drag a Word file onto DeepL Translator.

Nonetheless, both are enough to break your concentration when you're working. And there is a way to at least speed up the job with the third-party app PopClip .

PopClip brings an iOS-style pop-up menu to the Mac. On an iPhone or iPad, once you've selected a word, iOS shows you a black bar with options such as Copy, Cut, and so on.

There's no system equivalent on the Mac, but PopClip provides it. By default, it too shows basic options such as Copy, Cut, Paste and so on. But you can add to it from a growing list of extra tools that you might want quick access to — including translate.

PopClip costs $12.99 on the Mac App Store, and comes with close to 200 free tools called extensions. Add a Google Translate extension to PopClip and now you can select some text, then immediately click on a translate button.

All it really does then is take the selected text, opens a new browser tab and pastes it into Google Translate. That's still taking you away from the text you're reading, and it will do a new tab for every time you select and choose translate.

Plus you'll find you have to select at most a few paragraphs at a time. Depending on whether you're selecting text in a document or a website, there will come a point where the PopClip translate extension disappears because you have too many words.

Using translation in your workflow

There is more that could be done to make translation happen in line, making it happen as you read instead of requiring you to take the text somewhere else. And it looks like that work is being done, that it will be part of macOS Monterey.

In the meantime, the ability to get a quick, possibly quite rough Google translation is deeply convenient. And then getting a more considered translation can bring you more than the surface word-for-word literal translation can.

Alternatively, though, you could put some work in yourself and use Duolingo to learn a language.

I dont even, I have no idea why that would be benifical to this app? what, for translating them? I mean that makes no sense! I dont feel okay with using this app and hope I deleted it in time...

Developer Response ,

Dear user, The app is reviewed and tested by Apple, so it is not harmful at all for your browsing experience. Actually, all your Safari extensions (like Evernote, AdBlocker and so on) will have the same description there, this is the standard. You can download other extensions from the App Store and you will see that the same label will appear. Back to my app: the extension can access your webpage just to be able to make it’s job/features, but the extension is not collecting any information, is not accessing any information from your browser, it’s not monitoring anything or sending data over the Internet in any way. It's very safe. The only reason the label is there is because the extension must access your loaded webpage in order to change it. Also, it's reviewed and tested by Apple in order to enter the App Store and they do not allow apps or extensions that collect information about you. You can also review the privacy terms from here (the In a Nutshell section is enough): https://alexdenk.eu/privacy-safari-extensions.html So keep using the extension with confidence.

The app is fast-ish (not always) and reliable. BUT and it's a big but...it WILL translate the original text as well if you are trying to see what a word means. For exaple, lets say you translate a paragraph and you're reading it and want to know what the original word was so you highligh and select to see it (that is a feature of the app). It will show the current translated word and the original but ONLY translated so you will see the same word twice (for example, cocinar----cocinar). It will appear exactly like this and this haappens when the app is set to auto. There is no way to undo this.

Works well!

The full page translator website google offers (but makes increasingly hard to find) sometimes doesn't load the images on a page, and it's not ideal to have to find that website every time. I'm a safari user because it's the browser with the lowest impact on my system, and this integrates well.

How to quickly translate web pages in Safari on iOS and iPadOS

Easily translate web pages in Safari for iPhone and iPad.

What you'll need

• How to translate web pages in Safari in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

How to activate the Microsoft Translator extension in Safari

How to translate a web page on iphone with microsoft translator.

If you're running iOS 17 , Safari now comes with a translation feature baked into the browser, making it easier than ever to translate a web page on iPhone and iPad.

Once enabled, text is translated in-line on the webpage that you're viewing. It's a handy tool if you want to read websites that are written in different languages, and it's available right in the address bar in Safari.

With this in mind, here's how you can translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

iPhone 15 Pro, iPad 9th gen, and Apple Watch SE for free at Verizon

Choose Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate Plan and trade in an old device to get Apple's iPhone 15 Pro , iPad 9 , and an Apple Watch SE for absolutely nothing. A fantastic deal if you're looking to upgrade all of your Apple devices.

iPad Pro M4 | $999

The brand-new iPad Pro M4 is the best tablet Apple has ever released. With an OLED display and the fastest chip Apple has ever made, this is a very powerful iPad.

How to translate a web page on iPhone in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

In iOS 15 and later, the ability to translate a web page's language to your native language is now a built-in part of Safari. As such, you no longer need a third-party app to translate. Here's how to use built-in language translation in Safari in iOS 14, iOS 15, and later.

• Tap the action button on the left side of the address bar while visiting a site that you need to translate. The button looks like two A's next to each other.
• Tap Translate to [Your Device Language] .

• Tap Enable Translation if prompted.

Your page will then be translated into the primary language that you've set on your device. If you want to revert back to the page's original language, take the following steps.

• Tap the translate button in the Safari address bar. It takes the place of the standard action button on the left side of the address bar.
• Tap View Original .

The page will revert to its original language.

If you're running a version of iOS 13 or earlier on your device, then a third-party app with a translation extension is what you'll want to use. Microsoft's Translator extension is an excellent tool for the task, as it translates the web page in place when activated.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator is a great third-party solution for translating web pages, and its translations take place in-line on the web, rather than taking you to another, translated version of the page like some other apps.

Once you've got it downloaded, you can set up the action extension for translation web pages.

• Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
• While viewing a web page, tap the share button .
• Scroll to the left on the bottom row of icons.

• Tap the More button.
• Turn the switch next to Microsoft Translator to the green 'on' position.

Now that you have the app installed, you can use it in Safari from the share menu.

• Head to the web page that you want to translate.

• Tap the share button at the bottom of the display.
• Tap the Microsoft Translator button. The extension will then translate the entire page for you.

Every new feature Apple unveiled for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more this fall (including AI)

Apple's 2024 Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) earlier this week shaped up to be one of the company's biggest events in recent years. The opening keynote, which took place on Monday, focused almost entirely on the buzzword we can't stop talking about -- artificial intelligence (AI) . 

Also: Everything to know about Apple's AI features coming to iPhones, Macs, and iPads

After trailing behind major players like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, Apple unveiled a slew of AI features spread across the company's most popular operating systems. While AI was the event's main focus, Apple executives also announced this year's software upgrades for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Vision Pro.

If you couldn't tune into the two-hour-long event, ZDNET has you covered. Here's a complete breakdown of all the announcements from earlier this week.

Apple Intelligence (AI)

Apple unveiled what it calls its new "personal intelligence" system under the name  Apple Intelligence . The release puts generative models at the heart of the ecosystem of Apple devices. 

With Apple Intelligence, your iPhone can  prioritize notifications  to ensure you get notified only when it's crucial throughout your day.

The release includes  writing tools  that leverage AI, including rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text features available across mail, keynotes, third-party apps, and more. 

Users can now create  personalized images  in the photo library, including sketches, illustrations, and animations. This feature is available in Messages, Apps, Freeform, Keynote, and Pages. 

Apple Intelligence can tap into tools and  carry out tasks on your behalf , such as "Show me all the photos," "Play the podcast," or "Pull the files that my coworker shared with me last week." 

Because it's grounded in your personal information and context, and can retrieve data from across your apps and reference the content on your screen, Apple Intelligence is positioned to be your  personal assistant .

Apple emphasized the  safety and privacy precautions  built into Apple Intelligence, particularly for on-device intelligence processing. The company touted the security of Apple's silicon, A17 Pro, and its M family of chips (M1, M2, M3, and M4). 

For tasks that are too large for on-device processing and need to be completed in the cloud, Apple unveiled  Private Cloud Compute , which protects users' privacy by running on servers specially created using Apple Silicon. When users make requests, Apple Intelligence first tests on-device capability, but calls on Private Cloud Compute if the task requires more power. Apple reiterated that user data is never stored or sold to external parties. 

Siri  finally got the AI makeover it deserves, first with a new look: when tapped, light wraps around the edges of your screen. Siri can now  better understand users , even if they stutter, due to more advanced natural language processing (NLP). It now has  conversational   context , remembering what you just said and using it to complete the next task. Users can also  type requests to   Siri . Because it has  in-depth product knowledge , Siri can answer questions about functionality on iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Siri will also have Apple Intelligence's  on-screen awareness , allowing it to act on what it sees. The voice assistant can also  take actions  across apps, including photo editing. With access to your  personal context,  Siri can understand and complete new commands, such as pulling your driver's license information from a photo and inputting it into a form. The Siri updates are coming to iPad and Mac, too. 

Apple Intelligence also powers new features in  Mail , including  Rewrite , which offers users different versions of what they have already drafted.  Suggestions  are shown in-line, and  Proofread  edits for   grammar, word choice, and sentence structure. You can also use  Summarize  to convert your text into bullet points.  Smart Reply  identifies relevant selections of an email and uses them to help craft a custom message. Summaries will now appear at the top of emails, making browsing an inbox easier. Apple Intelligence can even help  prioritize  your emails, placing what is most important at the top of your inbox. 

There is an all-new focus option:  reduce interruptions . When in this setting, your phone will only show you what is most important based on your personal activity and context. 

Genmoji  allows users to create  AI-generated emojis  based on what they type. You can also create a Genmoji based on a photo of a friend. Genmojis can be included in-line in Messages and even used for Tapbacks. 

Image Playground   allows users to leverage AI on-device to create images from text prompts, which can be easily shared in iMessage and elsewhere. The feature is also available in Keynote, Pages, and Freeform, and as a stand-alone  Image Playground app.  

Image Wand in the Notes app  transforms a rough sketch into a polished image and is available directly in the tool palette. For example, you can circle a rough sketch in Notes and open Image Playground to transform your doodle into a fully-fledged image. 

Apple Intelligence will also upgrade the Photos app with a new  clean-up tool  that removes unwanted objects.  Search in videos  allows users to easily find specific snippets of content, and users can create  Memories  on-demand, using text to edit and organize photos into movies. 

In the Notes app, users can  record and transcribe audio , which Apple Intelligence will generate a text summary of. This experience is also available in the Notes phone app. 

Apple Intelligence is free on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and MacOS Sequoia, and will be available to try in English only this summer. 

Partnership with OpenAI

Apple also confirmed its partnership with OpenAI by integrating ChatGPT with Siri. With a user's permission, Siri can send a request to ChatGPT for help. For example, if you ask Siri for assistance on a task it deems better for ChatGPT, Siri will suggest you use the chatbot instead and forward your request. ChatGPT's writing capabilities can also be leveraged within certain writing tasks.

Users can access ChatGPT via this integration for free, and OpenAI will not log their data. ChatGPT Plus users can connect their subscriptions to access more advanced features, in which case OpenAI's data usage policies apply.  

The ChatGPT integration will be coming to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and MacOS Sequoia later this year. 

iPhone and iPad users will be able to  customize their home screen  further by placing apps wherever they'd like on the screen, as opposed to the usual fixed grid.  App icon colors  will also be customizable, allowing users to make apps any color they want or even match their home screen. Users can also change app icons to  dark mode. 

After five years of remaining untouched, the  Control Center   received several upgrades, including the ability to  customize its toggles , such as flashlight, screen recording, calculator, auto-rotate, screen mirroring, and more, by tapping, holding, and rearranging. The Control Center toggle will also feature different pages with completely customizable user controls, and users can  switch controls  on the bottom of the Lock Screen. 

Apple also added privacy options, including the ability to  lock an app , which requires users to authenticate with Face ID or passcode before accessing the app. Users can also  hide an app , which makes it disappear from the home screen to a hidden part of their app library.  

Messages  received several upgrades.  Tapbacks , the feature allowing users to react to messages by holding them down, was upgraded to feature different colors and include emojis. Users can add  text effects  to specific phrases or words instead of the entire phrase. Texts can also be customized further with formatting options like  bold, underline, italics, and strikethrough . Lastly, users will be able to  schedule messages .

iPhone 14 and later models will have a new  Messages via Satellite  feature, which allows users to send messages via satellite when they don't have Wi-Fi or cellular service. 

The  Mail app  will automatically categorize emails, a feature that will be available later this year. 

The  Wallet app  now allows users to tap phones together to  exchange Apple   Cash  without requiring them to share personal information like phone numbers. 

The  Journal app  will now show  more statistics and insights , including how many entries you've had this year, how many days you journaled, and more. 

There is a new   Game Mode  for iPhone, meant to help gamers optimize their gaming experience. This includes minimizing background activity and using more responsive accessories, such as controllers. 

The  Photos app  got what Apple dubbed its "biggest ever redesign," featuring a cleaner design, a new carousel with highlights that update each day, the ability to pin collections, and an improved search. 

The Messages app now supports  Rich Communication Services (RCS).

The  Safari app  was upgraded to include key information about a webpage. You can read more about the Safari upgrades under the MacOS section of this article. 

The  Calendar app  can now pull from the Reminders app for a more seamless schedule overview. 

The new training load  allows users to gain insights into how their workouts' intensity impacts their long-term performance. 

The  new Vitals app  will give users a quick look at their most important health metrics, including heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, sleep duration, and blood oxygen. It will also provide context to help them make more informed decisions. If something seems out of the ordinary, users will receive pings alerting them of the anomaly. 

When a user logs a pregnancy in the Health App on iPhone or iPad,  the Cycle Tracking   app  on Apple Watch is upgraded to show gestational age, and allows users to log symptoms experienced during pregnancy. Pregnant users can also ask to be reminded to take a mental health assessment every month. Using the Walking Steadiness feature, users can also be alerted of increased fall risk. 

Users will also experience more  customizable Activity Rings,  which allow them to pause their rings when they want to take a day off without impacting their award streaks. 

Apple Fitness+  was upgraded to include personalized For You tabs, Explore and Library tabs, search features, and enhanced awards.  

Smart   Stack  is also getting more intelligent: it's now able to suggest widgets when needed automatically, among other improvements. 

With watchOS, users will get suggestions on the best photo options for their  watch face  from their photo library based on criteria such as aesthetics, composition, facial expressions, and more. The face can also be customized with different sizes, layouts, and fonts. 

Check In  is available on Apple Watch, even during workouts, to help users stay safe.  Translate  is also coming to Apple Watch so users can translate text right from their wrists. 

Another notable change is that the  double tap gesture  can be used to scroll through apps. 

The update will feature a redesigned  tab bar  that floats above app content. Users can customize it to showcase their favorite apps and access the most important sections of an app. You can also long-tap the bar to move it around. The tab bar also morphs into the sidebar for added insights. 

Shareplay will allow users to  remotely control  someone else's iPad or iPhone and  share drawings  on their screens.

In a long-awaited release, iPads will now have a  calculator app  for the first time, complete with the same interface as the one currently found on iPhones. Plus, users can use it with the Apple Pencil through a new  Math Notes  experience, which allows users to write expressions that the calculator app will solve for them once they type the equal sign, in their own handwriting, 

Handwriting in Notes also got an upgrade with  Smart   Script , which refines users' writing to make it more legible while keeping the authenticity of the user's handwriting style. The feature can also match copied and pasted text to the user's handwriting. Typed text was also enhanced, with five new highlight colors and the ability to toggle sections under headings or subheadings. 

iPadOS 18 supports  screen-sharing via SharePlay  and the same Control Center customizations, Photos app upgrades, Safari updates, and emoji Tapbacks found in  iOS 18.

MacOS 15 (Sequoia)

Apple unveiled  MacOS Sequoia ,  which will include many of the new features that were added to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, including the updated Safari, Photos, Messages, and the new  Passwords management app .

The new  iPhone mirroring  capability on Mac allows users to experience their phone almost entirely from their Mac. For example, iPhone notifications will now be available on Mac, allowing users to interact with them and open corresponding apps, though the iPhone itself will appear locked. 

Window tiling  was made possible to help users stay more organized. When users drag a window to the edge of the screen, macOS automatically suggests a tile position. 

Video meetings  are also getting an upgrade, with new backgrounds and a preview experience that allows you to see what you are about to share before sharing it. This feature works with popular video conferencing applications such as FaceTime and Zoom. 

The  AI summarization  tool will live in Safari to help users process content like web pages and articles more efficiently. Safari will also assist users in discovering more helpful information about a page they are browsing when relevant, such as directions. 

Apple also launched a new  Viewer experience , which does for video what Reader does for text. 

Apple unveiled the first major upgrade to its recently released VisionOS --  VisionOS 2. 

In Vision OS 2, Photos gets an upgrade that allows users to transform any 2D photo into a  Spatial Photo , with added depth from moments already in their camera rolls.

Spatial Personas in the Photos app lets users view photos together, creating a more shared experience. 

VisionOS 2 also supports new hand motion gestures , allowing users to access some settings more easily. For example, users can open their hands and tap to reach the home screen or turn their wrists to see the battery level. 

Users who mirror their MacOS to their Vision Pro will soon get a higher resolution and bigger size, creating an ultrawide monitor view equal to two 4K monitors side by side. 

The Vision Pro will also include train support for travel mode, making working during your commute easier. 

Vision Pro will now feature a Guest User option that allows additional users to save their eye and hand data for 30 days. 

Users can now personalize their Home View , placing apps wherever they want.

Users will now be able to watch videos in an Environment when using Safari, even on sites such as YouTube and Netflix. 

Apple TV brings multiview to Vision Pro , which is especially useful when watching sports games. 

Users can cast content from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac to the Vision Pro using AirPlay. 

Apple is also making the Vision Pro available in more countries starting June 28. You can see the full list here . 

AirPods Pro are getting Voice Isolation to enhance call quality in noisier environments.

With the new Siri Interactions , users can now nod or shake their head  "yes" or "no" when responding to Siri.

Apple is also releasing a Personalized Spatial Audio API for game developers to build around the AirPods' audio technology.

Actor and music title insights on tvOS

When users watch an Apple TV+ show or movie, the new InSight  feature on tvOS will include additional information such as actor names and music titles. Users can then easily add those music titles to their Apple Music playlist. When using an iPhone as a remote, the InSight information will also appear on the smartphone. 

The Enhance Dialogue feature was upgraded to deliver greater vocal clarity over other elements of the movie or show, such as music or background noise, on Apple TV 4K. 

Subtitles were optimized to automatically appear when the language does not match one of the devices, when users mute, or when skipping back. 

Apple added support for 21:9 formatting for viewing content on projectors. 

There are new, fun screensavers , including Portraits, TV and movies, and Snoopy. 

When FaceTiming on tvOS 18, users will now have the option of Live Captions for English in the US and Canada.  

tvOS will also feature a redesigned Apple Fitness+ experience, including new For You, Explore, and Library spaces.

Relive the biggest moments from WWDC24

Today Apple kicked off its 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, revealing groundbreaking new technologies and features during a keynote that was live-streamed from Apple Park to millions around the world. During the weeklong event, developers and students will have unique access to Apple experts, as well as insight into new tools, frameworks, and features to help elevate their apps and games.

This year’s keynote revealed Apple Intelligence , the personal intelligence system that combines the power of generative models with users’ personal context — at the core of iPhone, iPad, and Mac to deliver intelligence that’s incredibly useful and relevant. Major updates also come to iOS 18 , iPadOS 18 , macOS Sequoia , and watchOS 11 , including the biggest-ever redesign of the Photos app, game-changing productivity tools, and new ways for users to express themselves and customize their devices. visionOS 2 brings powerful new ways to interact with Apple Vision Pro and exciting updates to spatial photos and Mac Virtual Display, and tvOS 18 infuses useful information in Apple TV+ films and shows on users’ biggest screen in the home.

Beginning this month, Apple Vision Pro is also coming to more countries and regions, including China mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and next month will come to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the U.K.

Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of Apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from users’ personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. A cornerstone of Apple Intelligence is on-device processing, which delivers personal intelligence without collecting users’ data. Private Cloud Compute sets a new standard for privacy in AI, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing, and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers.

With iOS 18 , users will now be able to arrange apps and widgets in any open space on the Home Screen, customize the buttons at the bottom of the Lock Screen, and quickly access more controls in Control Center. With the biggest redesign ever of the Photos app, photo libraries are automatically organized in a new single view in Photos, and helpful new collections keep favorites easily accessible. All-new text effects come to iMessage, amplifying any letter, word, phrase, or emoji with dynamic, animated appearances to bring conversations to life. Users can also now communicate over satellite in the Messages app, even when a cellular or Wi-Fi connection isn’t available.

With iPadOS 18 , the iPad experience is more versatile and intelligent than ever with new features and apps designed for Apple Pencil. The Calculator app comes to iPad with Math Notes, which allows users to type or write out mathematical expressions and see them instantly solved in their own handwriting. New handwriting tools in Notes including Smart Script make handwritten notes more fluid, flexible, and easier to read.

With macOS Sequoia , Continuity between iPhone and Mac gets better than ever with iPhone Mirroring, enabling full access to and control of iPhone directly from Mac. Safari gets another big update with the new Highlights feature for effortless information discovery on webpages while browsing. Gaming is even more immersive with Personalized Spatial Audio that puts players in the middle of the action like never before. And Apple Intelligence unlocks new ways for Mac users to enhance their writing and communicate more effectively, create playful images in seconds, and more. Apple Intelligence takes full advantage of the power of Apple silicon and its Neural Engine, and will be supported by every Mac with an M-series chip.

watchOS 11 offers breakthrough insights into users’ health and fitness, and more personalization than ever. The new Vitals app surfaces key health metrics and context, the ability to measure training load offers a game-changing new experience when working out, and the popular Activity rings are even more customizable. The Smart Stack and Photos face use intelligence to feature more individualization, and Apple Watch and the Health app on iPhone and iPad offer additional support for users who are pregnant. Check In, the Translate app, and new capabilities for the double tap gesture come to Apple Watch for added connectivity and convenience.

Just months after its initial release, visionOS 2 brings powerful spatial computing experiences to Apple Vision Pro, including new ways for users to create spatial photos with the images already in their library, intuitive hand gestures to easily access important information at a glance, and new features for Mac Virtual Display, Travel Mode, and Guest User. visionOS 2 also introduces exciting new capabilities like Follow Your Breathing in the Mindfulness app, SharePlay for Photos, and multiview in the TV app.

With tvOS 18 , intelligent new features like InSight — and updates to Enhance Dialogue and subtitles — level up cinematic experiences, while new Apple Fitness+, Apple Music, and FaceTime capabilities get even better on users’ biggest screen. The Home app gains new features with iOS 18, like guest access and hands-free unlock with home keys, delivering effortless and secure access to the home. AirPods software updates will transform the way users respond to Siri with new gestures, take calls with friends and loved ones, and immerse themselves in their favorite games.

iPhone Apps Can Integrate With Apple's Translate App on iOS 17.4 and Later

In a WWDC 2024 coding video last week, Apple highlighted a recently-introduced API that allows developers to offer built-in Translate app capabilities in their own apps on iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS Sonoma, and later.
