Translate with Apple's Siri - Here's how

Since iOS 11, Apple's Siri can also translate. We will show you how to use this feature and which restrictions still apply.

Translate with Siri - you need to know

Siri is currently unable to translate from German into another language. The feature only works with English as the source language. The languages ​​English, German, Italian, French, Spanish and Chinese have so far been supported for translation on the iPhone or iPad. More will probably follow.

• To translate, start Siri either with the voice command "Hey, Siri" or by pressing the home button.
• Tell the voice assistant what to translate in English. For example, ask: "What does" Where is the nearest train station "in Spanish mean?"
• Siri will show you the translation as text and also read it to you. Siri stays with the language you should translate last. Further translation requests are therefore automatically translated into Spanish.
• However, you can easily switch to another language. If a question has been translated into Spanish, simply say "in French" afterwards to get the French translation.

If you don't have an Apple device or iOS 11, just use real-time translators. We will present 5 cool apps & gadgets in the next practical tip.
