Translating text within images can be incredibly useful, whether you’re traveling abroad, trying to understand a foreign document, or simply curious about what a sign says. This guide will show you How To Translate Photo content using the Translate app on your iPhone. We’ll cover translating text using your camera in real-time and translating text in photos from your library.
Using the Camera to Translate Photo Content Live
The Translate app on your iPhone allows for real-time translation of text using your camera. This is particularly helpful for navigating foreign environments. Here’s how:

Select Languages: Tap the “Camera” option. Choose the language you want to translate from and the language you want to translate to.
-
Position Your Camera: Point your iPhone’s camera at the text you want to translate. The app will automatically detect and translate the text in real-time.
-
Pause and Zoom: Tap the translate button to pause the live translation. You can then zoom in for a closer look at the translated text overlaid on the original image.
-
Interact with the Translation: Tap on the overlaid translation to open a translation card. This allows you to copy the translated text, add it to your favorites, listen to the original text, or hear the translated text spoken aloud.
-
Exit Camera View: When finished, tap the “Done” button.
Translating Text in Saved Photos
The Translate app can also translate text within images saved in your photo library.
