Sprechen sie Siri?

-

The late, great writer Douglas Adams imagined a translatio­n tool called the Babel Fish, a fish that you stuck in your ear to understand any language. Your Apple Watch is similar, and you don’t need to stick it anywhere. Just say to Siri, “How do I say [thing you want to say] in [chosen language]?” and Siri will show you and also say the word or phrase aloud.

Siri’s translatio­n features are best for quick queries. If you want real–time translatio­n, use Apple’s Translate app on your iPhone. This enables you to type or talk, automatica­lly translatin­g into your chosen language. If you’re speaking it will read the results aloud, and if you put it into Conversati­on Mode it’ll listen to two speakers and play a translatio­n of what each person has just said.
