This update fixes a handful of issues from 2.1: Apple Watch: dictating more than one sentence now translates all of them, not just the last. Photo translation no longer briefly appears upside down while it's in progress. Sharing a photo or PDF to Tolk: the language screen is now properly laid out. iPad: using a floating keyboard no longer squashes the text translator into half the window.

Apple Watch app Translate from your wrist — type or dictate, and your iPhone does the work. Dictation now works with your iPhone in your pocket. Much better photo and document translation Dense, tightly-packed pages — letters, forms, scanned paperwork — now come out far closer to the original layout, with paragraphs, columns and headings preserved. Scanned PDFs in every language Scanned pages now use the same text recognition as photos, so languages like Bulgarian, Greek and Thai work in PDFs too. Better language detection A second detection engine now recognises 23 languages Apple can't — including Estonian, Macedonian, Welsh, Basque, Swahili and Tagalog — and corrects mistakes on closely related ones. Fixes Clearer progress while translating, iCloud files show download progress, and language names are correct throughout.

PDF Translate is now Tolk – Offline Translator. A FULL TRANSLATOR, NOT JUST PDFs The app now opens straight into a translator you can type or speak into. Translate photos, your camera view, files, text, and speech — all entirely on your device, all working with no internet once your languages are downloaded. PHOTOS AND CAMERA Point the camera and press the shutter, or pick a photo, and watch the translations appear on the image one by one. Translated text is drawn back in place — matching the original's position, colors, and background, so a label still reads like a label. Long-press to select and copy the translated text; pinch to zoom. VOICE Dictate instead of typing — entirely on your device, in over 60 languages. Alongside Apple's speech recognition, Tolk now includes OpenAI's Whisper running locally, which adds around 30 languages Apple can't transcribe, like Bulgarian, Persian, Urdu, Bangla, and Swahili, and helps with distant or noisy speech. Your voice never leaves your phone. Prefer more accuracy? Download the enhanced dictation model in Settings. 200+ LANGUAGE PAIRS, TWO ENGINES Alongside Apple's translation, download open-source neural models (Argos Open Tech, Helsinki-NLP OPUS-MT) that run locally. Each language shows a quality score and size before you install it, and every download comes from a single reliable source.
