Open the page in Safari and tap the Page Menu beside the address field. Safari offers Translate to your language when it can translate the page into one of your preferred languages. Try a second page in the same language to see whether the problem follows one page.
01Look for Translate in Safari’s own page menu
Section linkIf you opened a link from another app, open that same link in Safari itself. Tap the Page Menu next to the address field and look for Translate to your language. Apple says webpage translation varies by language and region. Safari checks the language of the page on your iPhone before it offers the command.
02Compare with a plain article in the same language
Section linkOpen a public article in the same language in a new Safari tab. If Translate appears there, you have a working example for comparison. If neither page offers it, check whether Safari can translate the source language into one of your preferred languages in your region. Keep the two page addresses if you need to ask Apple Support about the difference.
03Translate a short passage when that is all you need
Section linkCopy a short, non-sensitive passage into Notes, select the text, and tap Translate in the selection menu. Look under the additional menu items if it is out of view. Text translation also depends on language support. For full-page translation, Apple says Safari sends the page’s contents to its servers, so use a public page when testing the feature.
