On average, a normal person knows one or two languages at most, but websites, blogs, and articles are written in several languages that most people don’t understand. To break this barrier, Google Chrome introduced the translate feature that translates any foreign webpage to your native language automatically. But sadly there’s no such feature available for Safari. Moreover, in iOS devices, it’s not even possible to change your default browser without jailbreaking it (which we don’t recommend). There is no official way to translate a webpage on Safari, but don’t worry we have found some workarounds which will definitely work for you on your iOS device.
