Translate app audio not working sporadically.

They have put some work into this app and it does show. But is there any reason why the audio of the translated words will not work sometimes?

Hi Per Axel,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand the Translate app is not always playing the translation as you'd expect. This could be network related.


  • Do you notice this occurs in specific locations?
  • Are you connected to cellular data or Wi-Fi when it happens?
  • Do you have the desired language saved for offline translation?


"Download languages to translate when you don’t have an internet connection or when On-Device Mode is turned on.

  1. Go to Settings > Translate.
  2. Tap Downloaded Languages, then tap next to the languages you want to download.
  3. Turn On-Device Mode on."

Cheers!
