In the Translate app for iOS 14, Apple focuses on translating conversations. Of course, the app offers dictionaries, meanings and more functions, but without losing sight of the main objective, to make a conversation flow . We can also use the app with or without an internet connection, in the second case we need to download the languages we want to translate into beforehand, let’s see how.
Offline translation, language download
By default the app uses the internet connection to access the most recent translation memories, a setting that can be disabled and the language packs downloaded to the device . We will do it by following these steps:
- We open the Translateapp on our iPhone.
- We tap on the Translatetab .
- We play in one of the two languages at the top.
- In the section “Languages available without connection * we touch the small arrow next to the one we want to download.
That easy. The languages that we touch will show a small tick next to the name indicating that they are downloaded to our iPhone. Once downloaded, using the All languages list , we can choose them and the translation will take place even if we do not have an internet connection.
At the time of writing this article the download of the 12 languages occupies exactly 4.17GB, which corresponds to 347MB per language . Thus, surely we can keep the languages that we use the most downloaded, but if we want to eliminate them, we just have to follow the previous steps up to step three. Next, in the section Languages available offline, we slide the language that we want to delete to the left and click on Delete .
