Translate app on iPhone no longer works after recent software update

I fixed it on my iPhone 14 and iPad iOS 17.1 by deleting the app and reinstalling the app and languages. A pain but not hard.

To that solution you should add reset the network settings, apparently there is a problem sometimes with the network setting

I tried all 4 suggestions and still does not work. The languages don't save for some reason after they are selected on the Translation App.

Best,

Hello leonardoparietti,

Thank you for that information. Which specific iOS version are you currently running? Go to Settings > General > About for the version. Let's check the storage available for the device currently. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

If you connect to a different Wi-Fi or cellular network, does the issue persist?

Get back to us with these details so that we have a better understanding of the issue, and we can go from there.

Cheers!

Works just fine for me, here’s your post in Spanish:

Teniendo el mismo problema, pero después de actualizar a IOS17. En mi iPad funciona, pero mi teléfono no funciona. Lo he reinstalado varias veces y no descargará idiomas ni se moverá

I’m having the same issue. It used to work on my iPhone 14 Plus but all I get now is rubbish like “No”’ “Oh” but not what I said. Translate works well on my 4th Generation iPad. Was it the 17.4.1 update?

I tried steps 1 - 4 again. Again all I've gotten as responses are "No" ,"Oh". My iPhone 14 Plus is running 17.4.1. It used to work then didn't. It does work on my iPad 6th Gen. BTW it does translate when I write but not speak. What's up with this?

I have installed the Google Play app English Polish Translator by MobiLionInc on my Nokia mobile today. All ok. Now I want to download it to my iPad but it won’t let me. Says it is already installed on the Nokia and no other devices available (although it says you can download it to other devices) . Can anyone help please?

this app has been like this since beginning of 2023 and it happens on both of my iphones a 14 and a XR. I don’t even know why apple haven’t do anything to fix the issue, is ridiculous and embarrasing that i have to use Google Translate on my iphone devices over this issue.

I use it to read in French and now for French it only offers “Transcribe only”. What the **** is the use of a translation app that just reproduces the word without translating it?? I tried downloading the language but it’s made no difference. Utterly mystified and very frustrated. The app is now useless to me. I don’t get it.

Hi, my Key nounce(Bengali) is not working to write my language in WhatsApp.

Are you talking about Apple's Bengali keyboard or something else? If Apple's keyboard, what exactly is not working about it.

I tried to download ‘ iTranslate Translator’ which is not downloading or working at all. What can I do?

You need to contact the people who make that app. This forum is for Apple products. Try Google Translate instead.

What worked for me:

1. Delete the app
2. Reset Network Setting
3. Redownload app
4. Redownload languages

It’s literally just started working ! Apple updates some people have no problems others a lot lol

Apple translator app just stopped working last week for some reason. I updated to iOS 16.7.2. Works fine on iPad, but will not do any translations or mic access on iPhone 12.
