If you're running iOS 14 or later, 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.

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.

How to translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad

safari iphone translate page

Have you landed on a webpage in a foreign language when browsing Safari but can’t read it? Though many translation tools are available, Safari also offers a built-in translation feature to understand web pages in different languages. So, you don’t need to install any third-party tools or extensions. Let’s learn how to translate a webpage in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to translate a webpage in Safari on iPhone and iPad

Safari supports translation to Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Just check for the “Translation Available” popup in the address bar to ensure the website offers translation. Now, follow the steps below to translate web pages in Safari on iOS:

  • Open Safari → Go to the webpage you want to translate.
  • Tap the AA icon located in the address bar.
  • Select Translate to [language] .

tap aa icon, select translate language, tap enable translation in safari

How to add preferred languages to Safari webpage translation on iPhone

By default, Safari will only translate into your device’s default language. However, you can add other supported languages rather than your device’s default one.

  • Launch  Settings → Go to  General.

tap general, language and region in settings

  • Tap  Add Language  and choose a Safari-supported language .

tap add language, select a language, tap use system language in settings

  • Go to the desired website and tap the AA icon on the address bar.

tap aa icon, translate website, choose a language in safari

Why is my translate button missing in Safari on iPhone?

Are you using iOS 13? If yes, you don’t have the built-in translation feature. Therefore, you must install third-party language translators like Microsoft Translator or Translator Safari extension. Now, use these Safari extensions on your iPhone and translate any web page to your preferred language.  

If you use iOS 17, the translation option may be missing because your device language is set to the same language as the webpage you want to translate. Besides, the website may be incompatible with Safari’s translation tool or not support your preferred language.

If you still see the translate button missing on Safari, you can clear your cache and browsing history or reset your iPhone . Alternatively, use a Safari translator extension and enjoy content in your native language.

How to use translator extensions in Safari on iPhone

There are multiple Safari extensions to accomplish the same. Here, I have used Microsoft Translator to illustrate the below method.

  • Download Microsoft Translator .
  • Go to  Safari  and open any  website you’d like to translate.
  • Tap the  Share icon.

Open Safari Tap on Share and Select Translator

If you do not see the  ‘Translator’  option in the Share Sheet, tap  Edit Actions , locate, and tap the  green plus icon  for Translator. Also, toggle on Translator . Finally, tap  Done . Now, you will see the option to translate in the Share Sheet.

To add other languages to the Microsoft Translator extension, follow the steps below:

  • Open the  Microsoft Translator app  → Tap the  settings icon  at the bottom right.
  • Now, tap  Safari Translation Language  → Select your preferred languages .

So, that’s all for today, folks!

Thanks to the embedded translation feature, you can now easily translate a webpage in Safari without leaving the website. You can also  use Google Lens on your Mac  to translate text from images. What’s your preferred language to consume content? Let me know in the comments below.

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on iPhone & iPad

Did you know you can translate webpages in Safari on iPhone and iPad? If you’re on a foreign language website, you can easily translate it into English using a fantastic language webpage translation feature built into Safari for iOS and iPadOS. And yes, this feature also exists in Safari for Mac , in case you were wondering.

Not everything that you see on the web is written in English, and whether you’re browsing foreign news sites or just ending up with something not in English, you may find it useful to translate a webpage into something you can read. Safari now has this capability, and you can easily convert a webpage from French, Spanish, Chinese, etc, into English with just a few taps. This is similar to a Chrome language translation for webpages on iPhone and iPad , except of course it’s using Safari, the default browser in iOS and iPadOS.

Ready to use and access the built-in translator for webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad? Let’s get to it!

How to Translate Webpages on iPhone & iPad with Safari

As long as your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or newer, the language translation feature will be available. Here’s how it works:

Safari Icon

Now you know how to go about translating webpages in Safari natively on the iPhone and iPad. No new apps or third party downloads are required.

If you can’t find the Translate feature within Safari despite running a compatible system software version, it’s probably because Safari’s built-in translator is currently limited to users in select regions, but the feature is rolling out elsewhere too as it is refined by Apple.

If your iPhone or iPad is running an older version of iOS/iPadOS, or isn’t compatible with the iOS 14/iPadOS 14 update, you can still translate webpages in Safari using Microsoft Translator . You’ll of course need to download the Microsoft Translator app from the App Store and keep it installed to access this feature within Safari.Switching to Google Chrome is an alternate option as well, and the translation feature in Chrome works flawlessly and it can automatically translate most of the webpages to not just English, but any of your preferred languages if you’re not a native English speaker. This makes Chrome a great choice if you’re in an area that isn’t supported by Safari webpage translations yet.

What do you think of Safari’s built-in translator tool for converting foreign webpages to English? Do you use this feature? Do you have another method to convert a webpage to English from another language? Share with us your tips, thoughts, and comments below!

I am not able to see translate option in my iPad pro

I need this. I will see if it helps. Thx.

This only works for select few languages. Pales in comparison to Google Translate. Ot’s going to take Apple another 5,10 years to catch up with other languages… if at all 😢. This article is bit misleading. It does not explain how limited this feature is

I’m running high seirra 10 13 6 and when I type in a foreign website (orange fr as you suggested to test it) next to each selection is written ‘translate this page’ and there is no ‘aA’ in the selection which I guess is even better? Works perfectly and thanks for all your suggestions; I am subscribed to OSXDaily Regards, earl

This is EXACTLY why I look at osxdaily every single day.

I’ve used Macs since 1984. I like to think I know my way around the Macintosh world – which I do.

A couple of times a month, more or less, this site shows me something that I simply never knew.

Thanks for being a regular reader Michael!

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.

Safari Translate Webpage iPad

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 .

Translate web page to English in Safari on iPhone

  • 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.

Translate to English in Safari on Mac

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.

View web page in original language in Safari on Mac

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.

Add more languages to iPhone in Settings

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 .

Translate Website in other languages in Safari on iPhone

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 .

Adding more languages to Mac from System Settings

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

Option to translate web page into multiple languages in Safari on Mac

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 any webpage on your iPhone with a free browser extension, so you can read foreign websites and articles

  • You can translate any page in Safari on your iPhone using the Microsoft Translator app.
  • Once you've downloaded the Microsoft Translator app onto your iPhone, you can open it in Safari to translate the page you're on.
  • Before you can translate, you'll need to enable Microsoft Translator in Safari.

The internet is open to everyone, but language barriers can prevent you from reading articles and texts that are only available in foreign languages. 

However, with only an iPhone's Safari app and the Microsoft Translator extension, you can quickly and easily translate any text on your phone. 

I've tested it on periodicals in French, Chinese, and more, and found it perfectly capable of translating anything I need.

Here's how to translate a page on your iPhone using Microsoft Translator.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Iphone 11 (from $699.99 at best buy), how to translate a page on an iphone, install the translator.

1. Download the Microsoft Translator from the App Store, and it should automatically become an extension to your Safari app.

2. Open Safari on your iPhone.

3. Tap the Share button at the bottom (the rectangle with an arrow coming out of it).

  • Scroll down to the very bottom of the Share menu. The Translator option should be at the bottom. If it isn't, tap "Edit Actions…" and find it on the screen that appears, then tap the switch next to it to turn it green.
  • Scroll left on the bottom row of icons (the one that usually displays "Add Bookmarks" and "Add to Reading List") and tap on "More." Scroll down on the next screen to Microsoft Translator (or on some iPhones, simply "Translator"). Tap on the Translator switch so it turns green.

5. Tap on "Done." 

Translator should now be a default icon in your Share menu. The next step is to translate a site.

Translate a page

1. Open the page you want to translate. For this example, I'm using the French newspaper Le Monde.

2. Tap on the Share button. Find the Microsoft Translator shortcut (displaying either the word "Translator" or the app's icon ). 

3. Tap on the shortcut. A yellow status bar will appear at the top of the webpage telling you how much of the page has been translated.

4. Once everything is translated, the status bar will say "Translated to en."

How To Translate Web Pages In Safari

keyboard with blue key reading Translate

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 webpages on Mac, iPhone and iPad

Karen Haslam

If you are planning a holiday, working with colleagues or clients in different countries, or if you are just wanting to research something that happens to be in a different language, then you may be wondering if it is possible to translate a webpage into English or another language so you can read them.

The really good news is that this will soon become a simple process as Apple’s iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur will include a new feature that will make translations easier than ever.

How Translations will work in iOS 14 & macOS Big Sur

Once iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur arrive this autumn it will be possible to translate an entire webpage from or to the following languages: English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese. The new webpage translation feature will initially be in Beta, even once the operating systems are out of beta.

To find out how to use Siri and the new Apple Translate app on the iPhone read: How to translate text and speech on iPhone.

How Safari Translations will work in iOS 14

Translate webpages on iPhone

  • This will bring up some additional options compared to iOS 13, including a new Translate to English option (This will default to your device’s language).
  • Tap Enable Translation if required.
  • If you want to return to the original, tap on Translate (which will have replaced the aA button).
  • Tap View Original.

Read more about the features in iOS 14 here.

How Safari Translations will work in macOS Big Sur

Apple hasn’t revealed exactly how the Translation feature will work in Safari on the Mac as yet. However, we expect that it will be performed in a similar fashion to the iPhone and iPad.

Read more about the new features in macOS Big Sur here .

How to translate webpages now

Right now there are a few options if you want to translate webpages on the iPhone, iPad or Mac. These include using the Microsoft Translator app, Google Chrome on iPhone, iPad and Mac, or using the Google Translate website. We’ll cover each below.

Using Microsoft Translator

One way to easily translate webpages is to use the free Microsoft Translator app on your iPhone or iPad. There is no Microsoft Translator app for the Mac.

Here’s how to use Microsoft Translator app:

  • Download the Microsoft Translator app here.
  • Open the webpage you want to translate in Safari and tap on the Share button at the bottom.

Translator

Using Google Chrome on iOS

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.

Translate Chrome

  • 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 )

Translate Chrome On Mac

  • 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.

Google Translate whole website

  • 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 web pages in Safari on iPhone

Submitted by Jon Reed on September 3, 2020 - 11:17am

How to translate web pages with Safari on iPhone and iPad.

Not only did iOS 14 introduce a real-time Translate app but it gave Safari the long overdue ability to translate web pages as well. It is currently (beta version) limited to English, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, German and Russian. You'll likely have to edit your language settings, but once you have them set it is simple to use.

Here's how to translate a web page in Safari on iPhone and iPad:

  • First off, you will need to add any languages you might want to translate from to your preferred languages list. Head to Settings -> General -> Language & Region and tap Add Language. Choose the language you want to translate from.

How to translate web pages with Safari on iPhone and iPad.

  • You will be asked whether you want to keep your main language or change it to the language you are adding. Select Keep. Now it will take a few seconds to add the new language.

  • If you need to edit your preferred language list, tap Edit in the top right, then tap the "-" button to the left of any languages you wish to remove (apparently you can only change the order by deleting them and then adding them again, which may just be a bug).

  • Once you have your languages set, open Safari and head to a web page that you want to translate, then tap the "aA" button to the left of the URL. Select the Translate option from the dropdown menu.

How To : Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Yes, there's a way for you to get translations of foreign language websites on your iPhone using the built-in Safari app. Problem is, it's not super obvious. Actually, you'd never know the option was there if someone didn't tell you. But with a little setup on your part, you can have Safari translate webpages whenever you need it to.

This hidden feature has actually been around since for a few years now. Apple does not have their own translation service, so they have to rely on a third-party, and in this case, it's Microsoft. That means that you'll have to install an app on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, running iOS 8 or higher, in order to get this functionality.

  • Don't Miss: 200+ Exciting New iOS 13 Features for iPhone

Step 1: Install a Translation App

There are two options you can choose from if you don't want to pay, and they're both from Microsoft. The rest of the third-party translate apps in the iOS App Store either charge up front or require an in-app purchase to enable their translation services in Safari. And sadly, Google Translate , which has superior translation skills, does not offer a Safari extension.

First, for the free options, there's the Bing search app, which has a built-in feature called Bing Translator that was shown off by Apple back in 2014 when the feature first became available. Then there's Microsoft Translator, which is the backbone to Bing Translator.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator focuses purely on translating, so you can also use this app to translate speech, text, and photos, and it also includes device-to-device translated conversations. The latter feature is something Google Translate can't do right now.

This app can currently translate 60 different languages into the same amount of other languages, many of which are available for offline translations from the app's internal settings (though, offline translations won't work in Safari).

  • Install Microsoft Translator from the iOS App Store

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Bing Translator

Bing Translator only works on webpages, but you get other features in its app such as a new web browser (which you'll probably never user, since you're here for Safari, right?!), a few widgets for today's news and the history for the day, and an interesting UI that looks pretty sleek.

Like Microsoft Translator, you can translate 60 different languages, however, it can only convert them into any of the 44 languages available in the app's internal advanced settings. This is slightly odd since Bing uses the same Microsoft service.

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Step 2: Add the Translate Shortcut

In the Safari browser, tap on the share sheet icon in the bottom menu bar, the swipe left on the activities row at the bottom until you see the "More" option. Tap on that, then toggle on your Microsoft Translator and/or Bing Translator. Finally, hit "Done" in the top right, and you'll see the new actions available in the share sheet.

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Depending on how often you use this translation shortcut, you can rearrange the icons in the Activities settings to prioritize it so you don't have to swipe left on the bottom row of the share sheet.

Step 3: Choose Your Preferred Language

By default, both of these apps will automatically know which is your preferred language based on your device settings. However, if you'd like to change it, it's pretty simple in both cases.

  • In Microsoft Translator, just tap on the settings cog in the bottom right, choose "Siri Translation Language," then pick your language.
  • In Bing, tap on the menu icon in the top right, select "Settings" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Translate to," then choose your language.

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

In addition to this way, in Bing Translator, you can also access the "Translate to" language by tapping on the blue link in the yellow status bar when you have converted a webpage into your preferred language. Of course, you'll have to go back to Safari and re-translate the webpage to see the new language. Microsoft Translator does not offer this option.

Step 4: Translate Webpages

Now, whenever you need to translate a webpage in Safari, just tap on the share sheet icon at the bottom, select either Microsoft Translator or Bing Translator, then sit back and watch the magic happen.

In the example below, you can see a Chinese website that was translated into English by Bing Translator. Notice the blue link for "English," which will open up your language preferences in the Bing app.

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

In this next example, a Bangla website was translated into English by Microsoft Translator. Notice there is no blue link to access language settings.

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Need Automatic Translations?

If you find yourself constantly translating webpages into another language, you might just be better off using Google Chrome instead of Safari because it can automatically translate webpages into your preferred language. It'll prompt you if you want to translate when visiting a webpage not in your device's language, and you can choose to automatically convert the language in future instances.

How to Translate Webpages in Safari iPhone?

It is easy to find the content in English language since millions of websites use it as a primary language. Translating is the best option available for you when you are not able to understand the English written content. You can translate a word, phrase, sentence or the entire webpage. Did you any time wonder how you can translate webpage content to your favorite language while reading it on Safari iPhone? Here is how you can add languages in iPhone and translate entire webpage content in Safari to added languages.

Translating Webpages in Safari

Safari browser in iPhone comes with many features and translation is one of the least used among them. This feature was added from iOS 14 and you do not need any third-party extensions for this purpose. However, there are few important things you need to understand for using translation in Safari iPhone.

  • Online – translation feature works only on online.
  • Privacy – the content of the webpage will be sent to Apple for translating.
  • Add target languages – you need to manually add all the required target languages in settings so that they appear in the list for selection in Safari.  

Add Target Language for Translation

Apple automatically includes multiple languages in iOS setup when you buy iPhone in certain countries. For example, you will find both Chinese and English languages are pre-installed when you buy iPhone from China. However, this may not be the case with iPhones sold in USA or UK and probably you will only see English. At any case, you need to add all required languages for the translation to work in Safari.

  • Open Settings app and go to “General” section.
  • Tap on “Language & Region” option and check under “Preferred Languages” heading.

Language and Region Settings in iPhone

  • You will see the current list of languages available and the apps will use the first language in the list as a preferred language.
  • For adding a new language, tap on “Add Language…” link.
  • Select a language from the list and iPhone will prompt you to confirm whether you want to change the preferred language. Choose the new language or tap existing language to use it as your preferred language.

Add Language for Translation in iPhone Settings

If you have added too many languages, tap on “Edit” option on top right corner and delete the language from the list. Whether you add or delete a language, iPhone will restart and update the settings. This will be a quick refresh and you will not see the Apple logo which you will see with normal shut down and restart.

Translating Entire Webpage Content in Safari

Follow the below steps after adding required languages. I will translate a page from English to Chinese as an example.

  • Launch Safari and open the website you want to translate.
  • Tap on the A A icon showing at the left corner of the address bar .
  • Select “Translate to Chinese” as Chinese is the only language available other than English in my case.

Translate Webpage in Safari iPhone

  • Safari will ask your confirmation that the site address and content will be sent to Apple for processing. Confirm the action by pressing “Enable Translation” option.

Enable Translation in Safari

  • Now, you will see the entire webpage content is translated to Chinese. The A A icon in the address bar will show as translation icon indicating the page is translated.

Page Translated to Selected Language

  • For translating back to the original language, tap on the translation icon in the address bar and select “View Original” option.

Translate Page Back to Original

This is a good way to translate the entire webpage in Safari. You can download the translated page offline as a PDF file . For that, tap on Share icon and then “Options” button. Select “PDF” or “Reader PDF” and save the file to your iPhone or iCloud drive.

Save Translated Page as PDF

Translating Words or Phrase

If you want to translate a sentence or words, then tap and select the content. You will see a pop-up toolbar and use the right arrow to find “Translate” option in that toolbar. Tap on “Translate” option to get the translation for the selected content. This also needs internet connection to work.

Translate Selected Portion in Safari

Final Remarks

Remember that machine translations will never have a quality equivalent to human written content. However, the idea is at least you can read the page and grasp the meaning. If you find unacceptable translation, tap on A A icon and select “Report Translation Issue” option. You can report the issue to Apple so that they will improve in future.

If you are not interested in sending data to Apple or using online mode, then you can try the default Translate app. The app allows you to download the language files and use in On-Device Mode (under “Settings > Translate” section) to work offline without internet connection.

Step 2: Navigate to the webpage you want to translate

Once you've launched Safari on your iPhone, it's time to embark on a virtual journey to the webpage you wish to translate. Whether you're drawn to international news, captivating stories, or informative articles in a language foreign to you, Safari empowers you to seamlessly access and comprehend diverse online content. Here's how to navigate to the webpage you want to translate:

Enter the Web Address : If you already know the specific web address of the page you'd like to translate, simply tap on the address bar at the top of the Safari interface. This action prompts the on-screen keyboard to appear, allowing you to type in the URL of the desired webpage. Once you've entered the web address, tap "Go" to initiate the navigation process.

By tapping the bookmarks icon or navigating to the history section within Safari, you can quickly locate and select the desired webpage, initiating the translation process seamlessly.

Perform a Search : If you're exploring a topic or website for the first time and don't have the direct web address, Safari's integrated search functionality comes to your aid. Simply tap on the search bar, enter relevant keywords, and browse through the search results to find the webpage you wish to translate.

Follow External Links : While browsing other websites or following external links, you might encounter content in a foreign language that piques your interest.

As you navigate to the webpage you want to translate, Safari's intuitive interface and seamless navigation capabilities empower you to effortlessly access a myriad of online content.

Step 3: Tap the "AA" icon in the address bar

As you stand on the digital threshold of the webpage you wish to translate, Safari equips you with a powerful tool to seamlessly bridge language barriers. At the heart of Safari's intuitive interface lies the "AA" icon, a gateway to a world of linguistic diversity and comprehension. Here's how to harness the transformative potential of this unassuming yet potent symbol:

Locate the "AA" Icon : With the destination webpage displayed on your screen, direct your attention to the address bar at the top of the Safari interface. Nestled within this unassuming yet pivotal space, you'll find the "AA" icon, a symbol of linguistic empowerment. It represents the key to unlocking the seamless translation capabilities that Safari offers, transcending linguistic boundaries with a simple tap.

Initiate the Translation Process : As your gaze settles upon the "AA" icon, tap on it to reveal a dropdown menu of transformative options. This action serves as the catalyst for the translation process, signaling Safari to unleash its linguistic prowess and render the webpage in a language of your choice. With a single tap, you're poised to embark on a journey of comprehension and discovery, transcending linguistic barriers with the power of technology.

Select Your Preferred Language : Upon tapping the "AA" icon, a menu unfurls, presenting you with a selection of languages to choose from. Whether you seek to translate the webpage into English, Spanish, French, or any other language supported by Safari, this menu empowers you to tailor the translation to your linguistic preferences. With a diverse array of languages at your disposal, Safari invites you to explore the world's digital tapestry in a language that resonates with you.

Witness the Transformation : With your preferred language selected, Safari swiftly sets its translation engines into motion, seamlessly converting the webpage's content into a linguistic tapestry that aligns with your chosen language. Text, images, and other elements undergo a metamorphosis, emerging in a form that transcends linguistic barriers, inviting you to immerse yourself in the diverse content that once seemed out of reach.

Page translate option missing

Unfortunately, it's a constant, this has been an issue for years but apple doesn't seem to see it as a priority. I've tried everything I know-how include copying and pasting the entire website and plugging it into a translator. Needless to mention how tedious that was. So far the only thing that has worked was ditching safari completely...sadly and using chrome which auto-translates to English.

Mar 1, 2022 2:32 AM in response to Majestik1285

I had the same problem after upgrading MacOS (in swedish). I fixed it by adding english in Preferences/Language and regions.

I hope this can help you.

Hi there Majestik1285,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand you need help translating websites on your iPhone. Open Safari > go to desired site. If the website allows, you will be able to translate by tapping on the AA in the Address bar and choose Translate to English.

Feb 1, 2022 5:42 PM in response to Majestik1285

Majestik1285,

What is your current iOS in Settings > General > About? Are you able to translate this Apple webpage using the Apple Translate icon in the Search bar? It will look like the icon show here .

Feel free to add more details to this post.

Feb 15, 2022 9:50 AM in response to Majestik1285

While the translation feature is not available on all websites, if you're not able to translate multiple websites and have updated to the latest version, it would be best to reach out to Apple directly to have them investigate the behavior.

Thank you. Doesn’t work. My day to day functions are based in Italian, German and English however safari doesn’t offer the option to translate neither. But I had found a work around with another app hence no longer an issue.

Mar 1, 2022 7:09 AM in response to ASTRO24

Apple support provided the same troubleshoot recommended; when unsuccessful I was instructed to ship my devices from Europe to the US for a further evaluation and possible fix with no estimated timeframe. This is not a device issue as for one I’m not the only o r having this issue as well as it’s across all my devices and I’m unwilling to ship all my devices at once for something than can be addressed with a patch

How-To Geek

How to translate web pages in safari on mac.

Have you landed on a French or Spanish website? Translate it to English with the press of a button!

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.
