Apple presented its new Translate application at the WWDC. — AFP Relaxnews

A brand new translation application is among the new features already announced at the Apple Developer Conference (WWDC) for iOS 14, which will be rolled out on all recent-generation iPhones in the fall.

According to Apple, the new tool, which has been soberly christened Translate, has all of the qualities to become the application of choice in the field. Simple to use and highly effective, it will initially be able to recognise and translate text and speech for 11 languages and will even work when offline. The languages recognised by the current version of the Translate tool are Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Only Hindi is notably missing from its coverage of the world's top five languages.
