1) Using Translate Online to convert text to a different language
The Apple Translate app works offline but it requires you to download all the language packs on your iPhone which becomes time-consuming and takes up a lot of space. Hence, when you are in an area that has no WiFi issues or proper network coverage you can use the Translate App online to convert your text to a different language of your choice. Have a look at the step by step instructions given below to see how it’s done.
Step 1: Open Translate App on your iOS 14 device and select the language in which you want to translate your text.

Step 3: Press the Go button on your keyboard and your text will be translated to your selected language. You can also press the play button to hear the translation.
2) Using Voice to Translate Text in the Apple Translate App
When you are having conversations typing in everything the other person says can become exhausting and time-consuming hence to avoid that, the Translate App comes with a feature that allows you to translate everything you speak. To use that all you have to do is:
Step 1: Open the Translate app on your iOS 14 device.
