International Text Translation with an iPhone: Quick Guide

It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones, after all.

-Laura Ingalls Wilder

Okay fellow Apple users!  If you have plans to travel internationally, I am about to give you a tip to make getting a translation so easy!

I will start with this beloved french nursery rhyme and encourage you to grab your phone and follow along:

Open your phone’s camera and point it at the text. Hit the box in the bottom right of the screen (the “hamburger” symbol in a box).

Hit the word “translate” on the left side of the screen.

And there you go; no need for a translate app!

It is necessary to use your cell service so be sure that you have an international plan before leaving home!

I love this feature and hope to be able to use it soon! Let me know if you’ve tried it or hope to use it for your next trip!
