\"TapThe excellent Google Translate<\/strong><\/a> app for iOS is a great tool for translating words and phrases on the go. However, you always need to use it as a standalone app, so it\u2019s not ideal for translating from web pages, because you constantly have to copy and paste the text between Safari and Google Translate.<\/p>\n

An interesting solution is to use Tap-Translate. This is a JavaScript tool that integrates with Safari for iOS to allow you to translate web pages on the fly<\/strong> \u2013 without leaving the browser! It works by installing a script into Safari\u2019s bookmarks bar. When you click this bookmark, the script runs, and gives you the option to translate any text on the page into your own language. You can choose to translate individual words<\/strong> or whole sentences<\/strong>, and there\u2019s even a button to get the text spoken<\/strong> back to you.<\/p>\n

1. Launch the program and select your language (i.e. what you want to translate pages to).\u00a0 Click the Integrate<\/strong> button and Tap-Translate will add itself to Safari.<\/p>\n

3. Now tap on the Bookmarks<\/strong> button in the Safari menu. Hit the Edit<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

4. Select the Tap-Translate<\/strong> bookmark, then clear the address in the second field with the x<\/strong> button.\u00a0 Tap on the word \u2018Address\u2019 and then hit Paste<\/strong>. Hit Done<\/strong> and then Done<\/strong> again, and you\u2019re all set up.<\/p>\n

5. When you are browsing a foreign language site, go to your bookmarks and choose Tap-Translate<\/strong>.\u00a0 After the script has loaded (a couple of seconds) you can tap any word or piece of text to get it translated into your language. Simple!<\/p>\n
