Translate websites in Safari on iPhone: in 3 steps(それはとても簡単です)

Sometimes it is quite difficult if you do not speak a foreign language and you still want to read the website. Fortunately, there is quite an easy thing to do about it. iPhoned shows you how you can quickly translate websites in Safari on your iPhone (also into Dutch) and that in just three steps!

Translate websites in Safari on iPhone: in 3 steps

Wouldn’t it be nice if every website was automatically converted to your own language? That is still in the future, but we are already getting close. There is an option in Safari on your iPhone (and iPad!) to automatically translate websites into English.

The websites are then immediately converted into English. To view the website in the original language again, tap the button again and choose ‘Show original’ in the menu.

Translate webpage to Dutch on iPhone

Safari’s built-in website translation feature on your iPhone can only convert the text to English. Are you not very good at English? Or do you want a different language? Then there is another way to convert websites.

You do this with the app Website Translator. The beauty of this app is that you can also convert the website from Safari with it. In addition, this app also has the option to translate the website into Dutch (or another language).

After downloading the app, you have to launch it once to set the language. Select ‘Google’ under ‘Translation engine’ and ‘Dutch’ under ‘What language do you speak’. You can also choose another language instead of Dutch. After that, the app (actually a Safari extension) is ready to use.

• Open the websites you want to translate;
• Tap the share icon (this is the square with the arrow);
• Scroll down the list and choose ‘Translate website’;
• Wait a while for the website to reload, then it will take a while before the text is converted.

Safari’s built-in translation to English will work with just about any website. The ‘Website Translator’ app sometimes encounters problems with some websites. In that case, you can always fall back on Safari’s built-in English translation or use Google Translate’s website.
