Safari Translation Feature Reportedly Working in Additional Countries

by

Apple appears to be rolling out its Safari webpage translation to more countries. According to iPhoneSoft, iOS users in France have reported gaining access to the feature, and tips sent to MacRumors suggest Mac users in Sweden are also seeing it show up for the first time.

Apple introduced Safari's machine translation earlier this year when it debuted iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur at WWDC in June.

The feature allows users to translate the language of websites viewed in Apple's native browser; it can translate Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

Based on the latest information, Apple appears to have remotely enabled the translate option for the two additional countries for users running iOS 14.2.1, and revised version of macOS 11.0.1 Big Sur‌.

Doesn't appear to be working in the UK. For me, at least!

Perhaps they are waiting until they can add Welsh/[I]Cymraeg?[/I]

I too restarted - and waited. Still appeared not to work but then went to another site, suddenly prompted to allow translation - so probably the restart did work. Thanks.
Some sites don't have the option to translate, but I have noticed that in those cases a menu shows at the bottom showing your language preferences.



I found the solution thanks to feedback I received from Spanish Apple Support and a contributor's advice.

Force quitting the app before restarting is also useful, in some cases it resolves the issue without restarting:

This is where I noted the 30 seconds reference:

I found the fix. Simple really, I needed to wait at least 30 seconds after shutting the iPhone 8 down before restarting it!
