How to quickly translate webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad

If you use your iPhone or iPad to surf the web a lot on iOS 13 and earlier, you can use Microsoft's Translator app and its extension to quickly translate web pages that you visit into your native language. Microsoft Translator is a universal app for iPhone and iPad, and can be downloaded from the App Store for free.

If you're running iOS 14 or later, Safari now comes with a translation feature baked into the browser. Once activated, text is translated in-line on the webpage that you're viewing.

Here's how you can translate webpages in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to translate web pages in Safari in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14

In iOS 14, the ability to translate a webpage'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.

1. 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.

2. Tap Translate to [Your Device Language].

   

3. 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.

1. 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.

2. Tap View Original.

   

The page will revert to its original language.
