With iOS 11 on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, Siri is now able to translate a phrase and communicate it directly to you to give you a better understanding in terms of pronunciation and other nuances common in foreign languages.

At present, Siri can translate from English into the following languages: French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, Chinese.

Apple will add more languages to the Siri translator in the future. At present, Siri is unable to translate from other languages into English but Apple may add this feature down the road.

How to use Siri to translate language?

* You need to invoke Siri first. Long press down the Home button or use Hey, Siri.

* Then you need to ask her /him something.

For example, how do you say Which way to the bathroom? In French. Or just request any language you want.

* You can also type your question to Siri if you’d like, using the new Type to Siri feature. If you want to have a listen, just click the Play button in the middle of iPhone’s screen.
