Translate not always working

I have iOS 17.0.3 on my 4th gen iPad and iPhone 14 Plus. Translate works on the iPad but not on the iPhone. I’m referring to the voice feature. I’ve done the delete, restart and reload suggestions. The microphone on the app shows activity but no translation. What’s up with this?

Apple Translate Hi - I have translate with languages downloaded on an iPhone SE bought in April 2022 using iOS Version 16.4.1. Translate used to work well now it has stopped. I reinstalled it, switched the phone off and on, and though the screens for Conversation appear, 'Tap mic to speak' is greyed out, and tapping the mic icon makes it jump but nothing happens. Any ideas please? Thanks.

The Translate app stops or times out I noticed running the Translate app that it stops translating after a short time- I think less than a minute. This is using the microphone to convert speech to text. Is there a way to make it run without it timing out or stopping?

iOS 18.5: Cannot switch dictation languages Problem: if you have bilingual keyboards configured (EN- UK, DE-DE in my case) you cannot switch to the second language when using microphone input. https://youtube.com/shorts/aHDB6_w2j7I?si=7AN8iUv-Z1Ut1g72 Irrespective of which keyboard you select, dictation reverts to the first. Context: Verified in different messages apps and Apple notes in iOS 18.5 Work around: Delete the bilingual keyboards in your settings and create individual keyboards, rejecting the suggestion to turn them into bilingual. Remark: I could never figure why Apple can’t hear the difference between the two languages and adjust automatically. Not even Apple Intelligence can auto-detect. Very frustrating.
