We can do this through the built-in Apple Translation app. On the main screen of the app, we can <strong>select the languages using the selectors next to each language option<\/strong>. Once we have chosen the language pair, we are ready to configure the <em>Translation<\/em> option for the Action button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing iPhone 15 | WOW | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XHTrLYShBRQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To activate this feature on our iPhone 15 Pro, simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We open the <em>Settings<\/em> app on our iPhone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We enter <em>Action Button<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We scroll sideways to select the <em>Translate<\/em> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We exit the Settings app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use the iPhone for ultra-fast translation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To translate any phrase into the selected language, simply hold down the Action button on the iPhone and start speaking. We must keep the button pressed while we want the system to listen to us. The iPhone <strong>will transcribe what it hears and display it in the Dynamic Island alongside the translation<\/strong>. Then, it will play the translation so that we can listen to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s pay attention, and that is very important, that the system can listen to phrases and conversations in either of the two languages we have chosen in the Translate app. This means that we can have a conversation with another person without having to use any app or select anything. We simply <strong>hold down the button for each phrase and listen to its translation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability to translate any phrase with just the push of a button is particularly useful for travelers, students, and anyone learning a language.
