If you're running iOS 14 or later, Safari now comes with a translation feature baked into the browser, making it easier than ever to translate a web page on iPhone and iPad.

Once enabled, text is translated in-line on the webpage that you're viewing. It's a handy tool if you want to read websites that are written in different languages, and it's available right in the address bar in Safari.

With this in mind, here's how you can translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to translate a web page on iPhone in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

In iOS 15 and later, the ability to translate a web page's language to your native language is now a built-in part of Safari. As such, you no longer need a third-party app to translate. Here's how to use built-in language translation in Safari in iOS 14, iOS 15, and later.

• Tap the action button on the left side of the address bar while visiting a site that you need to translate. The button looks like two A's next to each other.
• Tap Translate to [Your Device Language] .

• Tap Enable Translation if prompted.

Your page will then be translated into the primary language that you've set on your device. If you want to revert back to the page's original language, take the following steps.

• Tap the translate button in the Safari address bar. It takes the place of the standard action button on the left side of the address bar.
• Tap View Original .

The page will revert to its original language.

If you're running a version of iOS 13 or earlier on your device, then a third-party app with a translation extension is what you'll want to use. Microsoft's Translator extension is an excellent tool for the task, as it translates the web page in place when activated.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator is a great third-party solution for translating web pages, and its translations take place in-line on the web, rather than taking you to another, translated version of the page like some other apps.

Once you've got it downloaded, you can set up the action extension for translation web pages.

• Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
• While viewing a web page, tap the share button .
• Scroll to the left on the bottom row of icons.

• Tap the More button.
• Turn the switch next to Microsoft Translator to the green 'on' position.

Now that you have the app installed, you can use it in Safari from the share menu.

• Head to the web page that you want to translate.

• Tap the share button at the bottom of the display.
• Tap the Microsoft Translator button. The extension will then translate the entire page for you.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to translate webpages in safari on iphone & ipad.

Did you know you can translate webpages in Safari on iPhone and iPad? If you’re on a foreign language website, you can easily translate it into English using a fantastic language webpage translation feature built into Safari for iOS and iPadOS. And yes, this feature also exists in Safari for Mac , in case you were wondering.

Not everything that you see on the web is written in English, and whether you’re browsing foreign news sites or just ending up with something not in English, you may find it useful to translate a webpage into something you can read. Safari now has this capability, and you can easily convert a webpage from French, Spanish, Chinese, etc, into English with just a few taps. This is similar to a Chrome language translation for webpages on iPhone and iPad , except of course it’s using Safari, the default browser in iOS and iPadOS.

Ready to use and access the built-in translator for webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad? Let’s get to it!

How to Translate Webpages on iPhone & iPad with Safari

As long as your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or newer, the language translation feature will be available. Here’s how it works:

Now you know how to go about translating webpages in Safari natively on the iPhone and iPad. No new apps or third party downloads are required.

If you can’t find the Translate feature within Safari despite running a compatible system software version, it’s probably because Safari’s built-in translator is currently limited to users in select regions, but the feature is rolling out elsewhere too as it is refined by Apple.

If your iPhone or iPad is running an older version of iOS/iPadOS, or isn’t compatible with the iOS 14/iPadOS 14 update, you can still translate webpages in Safari using Microsoft Translator . You’ll of course need to download the Microsoft Translator app from the App Store and keep it installed to access this feature within Safari.Switching to Google Chrome is an alternate option as well, and the translation feature in Chrome works flawlessly and it can automatically translate most of the webpages to not just English, but any of your preferred languages if you’re not a native English speaker. This makes Chrome a great choice if you’re in an area that isn’t supported by Safari webpage translations yet.

What do you think of Safari’s built-in translator tool for converting foreign webpages to English? Do you use this feature? Do you have another method to convert a webpage to English from another language? Share with us your tips, thoughts, and comments below!

I am not able to see translate option in my iPad pro

I need this. I will see if it helps. Thx.

This only works for select few languages. Pales in comparison to Google Translate. Ot’s going to take Apple another 5,10 years to catch up with other languages… if at all 😢. This article is bit misleading. It does not explain how limited this feature is

I’m running high seirra 10 13 6 and when I type in a foreign website (orange fr as you suggested to test it) next to each selection is written ‘translate this page’ and there is no ‘aA’ in the selection which I guess is even better? Works perfectly and thanks for all your suggestions; I am subscribed to OSXDaily Regards, earl

This is EXACTLY why I look at osxdaily every single day.

I’ve used Macs since 1984. I like to think I know my way around the Macintosh world – which I do.

A couple of times a month, more or less, this site shows me something that I simply never knew.

Thanks for being a regular reader Michael!

How To Translate Web Pages In Safari

The international nature of the internet is one of the best things about it. You can visit web pages and find information from countries all across the world, but this also means it's likely you'll stumble across sites that are written in different languages. It can be a major hassle to translate web pages using third-party software or other means, especially if you don't visit websites outside of your native language very often. 

Fortunately, many modern web browsers possess the ability to translate web pages natively, so you can still read the content in your preferred language. Apple has included a translation feature in its Safari browser, so you can easily translate pages on Mac, as well as the iPhone and iPad. This article covers the translation process on each respective Apple device, as well as how to navigate any hurdles you may encounter.

How to translate web pages in Safari on Mac

To translate a web page in Safari on Mac computers, you need to be using Monterey 12 or Big Sur 11.0 . Also, the page needs to be compatible with the translation feature. Here's how to find out whether you can translate the web page in Safari and how to do it (via Apple ).

1. If Safari can translate the web page, you'll see the "Translate" icon appear in the Smart Search bar at the top of the browser. 

2. Click on the "Translate" button.

3. Select the preferred language you want the page translated into.

4. If prompted, select "Enable Translation."

5. To change it back, select the Translate icon again and click on "View Original."

If you don't see the language you want to translate the page into, try this:

Go to Apple menu > System Preferences.

Select "Language & Region."

Select "General."

Click on "Add" to add a language to your list of preferred languages.

After you add a language, go back to the web page and look at the Translate list again to see if your preferred language has appeared.

How to translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad

The ability to translate web pages is available on devices running iOS 14 or later. You'll also need to be on a web page that is compatible with this feature. Here's how to translate pages in Safari on iPhone or iPad devices with iOS 14 or newer.

If the web page can be translated, you'll see the "Translate" icon flash for a second in the search/address bar at the top.

2. To translate the page, tap on the website options icon, which looks like the letter "A."

3. Tap on "Translate to [Preferred language]."

4. Tap "Enable Translation" if it appears.

5. The page will be translated. To go back to the original language, tap on the website options icon and select "View Original."

If the language offered isn't what you want the web page translated into, you'll have to change your preferred language order in your iPhone settings. Here's how:

Go to the Settings app.

Go to "General" > "Language & Region."

3. Under "Preferred Language Order," either move a language to the top or select "Add Language," choose one, and set it as your top preferred language.

4. Your iPhone will restart to make the change.

Be careful when making this change, as it will change supported apps and websites to your first preferred language.

How to translate web pages in Safari on older versions of iOS

You're not out of luck if you're an iPhone owner using an earlier iOS version than 14. You can also easily translate Safari web pages with the workaround of using an app, such as Microsoft Translator. This app comes with a Safari extension as well, making it a great choice for translation. Here's how to use Microsoft Translator on a Safari webpage (via Microsoft ).

1. On Safari, go to the web page you need translated. 

2. Select the text you want to be translated by tapping and holding it, and then moving the selection bars on the text. 

3. Now tap on the "Share" button that appears in black above the text or the icon at the bottom middle of the Safari menu. 

4. Scroll down and tap on the "Translate" button, which appears if you have Microsoft Translator downloaded. 

5. Choose the source language and the target language to get your translation. 

6. Tap "Done" to close the translator.

This can also be good to use on websites that normally don't provide the translation option, even in iOS 14 or above. 

Can Safari automatically translate web pages?

When you first visit a web page on Safari in a foreign language, it will detect if it can be translated to a different language based on what you have set in your Preferred Languages settings. From there, you'll need to choose to translate it using the instructions above. However, you won't need to do this for every page on the site. Safari will also translate pages on the same domain you originally translated from. 

If you go to a website of a different language or visit a different domain, Safari will then end the automatic translation. Also, if you close the site and then come back to it, it will no longer be translated (via Apple ). So, you'll need to choose to translate web pages yourself every time you visit a website in a foreign language. From there, though, pages within the same domain will be translated automatically.

How To : Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Yes, there's a way for you to get translations of foreign language websites on your iPhone using the built-in Safari app. Problem is, it's not super obvious. Actually, you'd never know the option was there if someone didn't tell you. But with a little setup on your part, you can have Safari translate webpages whenever you need it to.

This hidden feature has actually been around since for a few years now. Apple does not have their own translation service, so they have to rely on a third-party, and in this case, it's Microsoft. That means that you'll have to install an app on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, running iOS 8 or higher, in order to get this functionality.

• Don't Miss: 200+ Exciting New iOS 13 Features for iPhone

Step 1: Install a Translation App

There are two options you can choose from if you don't want to pay, and they're both from Microsoft. The rest of the third-party translate apps in the iOS App Store either charge up front or require an in-app purchase to enable their translation services in Safari. And sadly, Google Translate , which has superior translation skills, does not offer a Safari extension.

First, for the free options, there's the Bing search app, which has a built-in feature called Bing Translator that was shown off by Apple back in 2014 when the feature first became available. Then there's Microsoft Translator, which is the backbone to Bing Translator.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator focuses purely on translating, so you can also use this app to translate speech, text, and photos, and it also includes device-to-device translated conversations. The latter feature is something Google Translate can't do right now.

This app can currently translate 60 different languages into the same amount of other languages, many of which are available for offline translations from the app's internal settings (though, offline translations won't work in Safari).

• Install Microsoft Translator from the iOS App Store

Bing Translator

Bing Translator only works on webpages, but you get other features in its app such as a new web browser (which you'll probably never user, since you're here for Safari, right?!), a few widgets for today's news and the history for the day, and an interesting UI that looks pretty sleek.

Like Microsoft Translator, you can translate 60 different languages, however, it can only convert them into any of the 44 languages available in the app's internal advanced settings. This is slightly odd since Bing uses the same Microsoft service.

• Install Bing – Fast and beautiful mobile search engine from the iOS App Store

Step 2: Add the Translate Shortcut

In the Safari browser, tap on the share sheet icon in the bottom menu bar, the swipe left on the activities row at the bottom until you see the "More" option. Tap on that, then toggle on your Microsoft Translator and/or Bing Translator. Finally, hit "Done" in the top right, and you'll see the new actions available in the share sheet.

Depending on how often you use this translation shortcut, you can rearrange the icons in the Activities settings to prioritize it so you don't have to swipe left on the bottom row of the share sheet.

Step 3: Choose Your Preferred Language

By default, both of these apps will automatically know which is your preferred language based on your device settings. However, if you'd like to change it, it's pretty simple in both cases.

• In Microsoft Translator, just tap on the settings cog in the bottom right, choose "Siri Translation Language," then pick your language.
• In Bing, tap on the menu icon in the top right, select "Settings" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Translate to," then choose your language.

In addition to this way, in Bing Translator, you can also access the "Translate to" language by tapping on the blue link in the yellow status bar when you have converted a webpage into your preferred language. Of course, you'll have to go back to Safari and re-translate the webpage to see the new language. Microsoft Translator does not offer this option.

Step 4: Translate Webpages

Now, whenever you need to translate a webpage in Safari, just tap on the share sheet icon at the bottom, select either Microsoft Translator or Bing Translator, then sit back and watch the magic happen.

In the example below, you can see a Chinese website that was translated into English by Bing Translator. Notice the blue link for "English," which will open up your language preferences in the Bing app.

In this next example, a Bangla website was translated into English by Microsoft Translator. Notice there is no blue link to access language settings.

Need Automatic Translations?

If you find yourself constantly translating webpages into another language, you might just be better off using Google Chrome instead of Safari because it can automatically translate webpages into your preferred language. It'll prompt you if you want to translate when visiting a webpage not in your device's language, and you can choose to automatically convert the language in future instances.

Only one problem so far

I have been using this app for a couple of weeks now and it is working well with just the single click needed to translate an entire web page. The only issue I have encountered is an apparent conflict with hotmail. When I have this app active hotmail won´t open and I get an error message saying "repeating redirects detected". When I close the app the problem goes away. Not a huge deal but it justifies losing a star I think.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback, we will try to fix the problem you described

Love this App

I have been using it for about a month and it has been a huge help. I live in Portugal and am having a very hard time with learning the language and this makes things a little less frustrating, but I wonder if this is Brazilan portuguese as some words come out a little strange, but that's also the language. Happy it has a little button on top to click for translating the page which is wonderful.

Thanks for you feedback. I continue to work on improving the application.

It works just a little Tricky!

I thought you have to select the button on the top of my Tool Bar in Safari but to translate you have to click the secondary button in mouse on any area of the page and select "Translate page" if it doesn't work just second click on another part of the page and select "Translate Page" again and it works, sometimes the option chages to "Canel Translate Page" be aware :)

Thank you for your positive feedback :)

How To Automatically Translate A Website In Safari

Are you trying to navigate the web in a foreign language? Thankfully, Safari now has a feature that lets you automatically translate webpages into your preferred language. This makes it easier to browse and understand websites in diffrent languages without the need for any third-party software or extensions. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to use Safari to automatically translate webpages and why this is such a useful tool.

Let’s start by discussing how to automatically translate a webpage in Safari. First, open Safari on your device and navigate to the webpage you’d like to translate. Once the page is loaded, tap the ‘aA’ icon in the top left corner of your screen which will bring up a menu of options. From here, select the language you would like to translate it into and tap ‘Enable Translation.’

Once enabled, Safari will detect if it can automatically translate any foreign webpages you visit based on your Preferred Languages list. When visiting a website in a different language, Safari will offer you an option at the top of the page that says “Translate Page” with an arrow pointing downwards next to it. Tap this button and select the language you would like it translated into from the drop-down menu.

The benefits of using Safari’s automatic translation feature are numerous: it saves time, makes navigating websites much easier, and eliminates any potential language barriers that might otherwise exist. Additionally, no third-party software or extensions are required as all of this is already built directly into Safari itself!

In conclusion, usng Safari’s automatic translation feature is an easy way to quickly and accurately translate webpages into your preferred language without needing any additional software or extensions. We hope this guide was helpful for understanding how to use this convenient tool!

Making Safari Automatically Translate

To make Safari automatically translate web pages on your iOS device, start by opening the Safari browser. Once you’re at a web page that you’d like to have translated, tap the ‘More’ button located in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu with options for sharing, finding, and more. Turn the switch next to Microsoft Translator to the green ‘on’ position and tap ‘Done’. From now on, whenever you open a page in Safari that needs translating, it will be automatically translated into your preferred language.

Can Safari Automatically Translate Web Pages?

Yes, Safari can automatically translate web pages! It uses your Preferred Languages list to detect foreign webpages. Once it detects a foreign language, it will display a pop-up window that allows you to choose whether or not you wuld like to have the page translated. If you choose to translate the page, the entire webpage will be translated into the language listed in your Preferred Languages list. This feature makes it easier to view and understand webpages in languages other than your native one.

Automatic Website Translation

In order to get a website to translate automatically, you need to enable the translation feature in your browser. On a computer, open your Chrome browser and click on the ‘More’ icon at the top right corner. Then select ‘Settings’ from the drop-down menu and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Advanced’. Under the ‘Languages’ section, select ‘Language’ and then turn on the feature for ‘Offer to translate pages that aren’t in a language you read.’ Now when you come across a webpage that isn’t in a language you understand, Chrome will offer to automatically translate it for you.

Enabling Auto-Translate in Safari on iPhone

To get Safari to auto translate on your iPhone, open Safari and go to a website in a language you’d like to translate. Tap the aA button at the top of the page and select the language you woud like to translate to. Then tap Enable Translation. Once this is enabled, your phone will automatically detect and translate foreign language webpages for you as you browse.

Troubleshooting Safari Translation Issues

If your Safari is not translating, it may be because the web page you are trying to view is either not in the same original language or is on a different domain. Safari automatically translates web pages based on their language and domain, and will only translate them if they remain unchanged. If either of these two conditions are not met, then Safari will not translate the page for you.

Safari’s Translate Option: Where Is It?

To find the Translate option in Safari, firt go to the web page you want to translate. Look for the Smart Search field at the top of the page. If the page can be translated, the Translate button will appear in this field. Click on this button and a drop-down menu will appear with a list of languages from which you can choose. Select your desired language and Safari will begin translating your page automatically.

Safari Extension for Translating Text

Yes! There is a great translate extension available for Safari, called Translate for Safari. This extension is just one click away, and can be used whenever you need to quickly translate entire webpages or single paragraphs. It can even translate text that you write in emails, forms or documents. With this helpful tool, you can easily access the translations you need with just a few clicks!

Does the iPhone Feature Automatic Translation?

Yes, the Translate app on iPhones has automatic translation capabilities. The app can translate text, voice, and conversations between any of the supported languages. You can even download languages to translate entrely on a device, even without an internet connection. Translation is available for most of the major languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and many more.

Enabling Translation on an iPhone

To turn on translation on your iPhone, go to your device’s Settings app. Tap General and then tap Language & Region. Under the Languages section, select Add Language, then choose the language you want to translate from the list of available languages. Once you’ve added the language, tap Translate and make sure that Translate is set to On. Now whnever you copy text on your iPhone, you can slide your finger over Paste and translate ? [Language] and then let go to instantly translate it.

In conclusion, automatically translating a webpage on iOS 14 and later is now much easier thanks to Safari’s webpage Translation feature. All you need to do is enable the Microsoft Translator in the browser settings, and Safari will detect any foreign webpages you visit and offer to translate them automatically. To turn translation off, simply go to your Chrome settings and toggle the “Offer to translate pages that aren’t in a language you read” setting. With this feature, it’s easier than ever to quickly access information from websites all around the world.

💬 Translation of the next huge Safari extension on iOS 15

With the launch of the new Turn Off the Lights Safari extension on iOS 15 (that is coming this fall). That makes browsing the internet on the Safari web browser more comfortable, that by dimming the screen and enabling Dark Mode on all websites. And you can already download the Safari extension from TestFlight for the iOS 15 beta users. There is also a bunch of new texts to translate for this new iOS platform.

Translate Safari extension on iOS 15

With the announcement of the WWDC 2020 previous year that Apple is joining the Safari Web Extension technology. That is great news, as we can use the same code as in the Google Chrome extension. It makes creating a browser extension very easy and use the translation files on all web browsers. And now in WWDC 2021, the Safari extension will also work on mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad.

Turn Off the Lights browser extension is free and Open-Source. And it has a strong translation community that makes this number #1 accessibility too available in all languages. So we thank all translators for their help and contribution to making this available in your local language. However, for a Safari extension on iOS 15, you need to have an app to get this extension in your mobile Safari web browser. So here we create a new starting place with useful links and video tutorials. And those are needed to translate.

Supported Languages

If you write one of these languages: Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Asturian, Azerbaijani, Basque, Bengali, Bulgarian, Burmese, Catalan, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Traditional (Hong Kong), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (United Kingdom), Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kabyle, Kannada, Korean, Kurdish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazilian), Romanian, Russian, Serbian (Cyrillic), Serbian (Latin), Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Spanish (Argentina), Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu (Pakistan), and Vietnamese. You can help to make this free Safari extension understandable for these languages.

What are you waiting for Translate it Now! And if you know a friend that writes one of these languages, do not hesitate to share this news with them.

Are you learning a new language? Then you probably know the pains of using online translation services. By the time you’ve copied and pasted a piece of text into your translator and then put it back in context, you’ve lost two minutes and broken your flow.

Alex Chernikov created a simple browser extension called Mate when he was 16. Instead of cutting and pasting, Mate translated text in his browser window. After uploading it as an extension on the Chrome Web Store, he went to university and forgot about it for two years. When he checked how it was doing, it had reached 130,000 customers despite zero updates. He decided this was the perfect time to monetize.

After years of maneuvering in a hotly competitive app market, Alex and his cofounder, Andrii, pushed their way to the top of both the Mac and iOS App Stores to make $250,000 last year. Here’s how they went from another no-name translation app to a featured product for iOS.

Developing Huge Solutions at 16

Back in 2012, 16-year-old Alex was in high school in Ukraine learning English in the hopes of studying abroad for university. Like many, he spent hours reading content online he’d run through Google Translate.

“I was reading a lot of blogs, articles, and Wikipedia pages in English to learn,” he says. “I got tired of copying and pasting everything into Google Translate and I felt it would be cool to just double click on words to get the translation.”

While this would have been an idle thought to most, Alex had been coding since he was 13. He created a Google Chrome extension and then uploaded it to the Chrome Web Store. He nearly forgot about it, but then, two years later, he had another peek and was blown away.

“It had magically grown to 130,000 users and I had a whole inbox full of people asking for improvements,” he says.

Despite a large customer base, Alex didn’t monetize Mate at the time. “I had the luxury that I was young and didn’t have commitments,” he says. “I was playing around with other things like game development.”

In 2016, Alex’s funds were running low and his other projects hadn’t panned out. He decided to take advantage of the demand he was seeing for Mate by porting it to other platforms.

“I approached my classmates at my university to make versions for other platforms like Safari and the App Store. We made these versions for other platforms but it still wasn’t making money.”

Most of the classmates who helped him eventually moved on to other things. However, one of them, Andrii, stuck around and went on to become Alex’s cofounder. 

“I studied abroad in Ukraine for a semester and we met there,” says Alex. “Andrii is an engineer by background. Today, he’s kind of our all-in-one, DevOps, CTO, and Project Manager. We ended up becoming real cofounders and we started a real company.”

One step at a time, the duo collaborated to create and sell app versions of Mate, monetize users, and experiment with other apps. While the other apps all ended up being scrapped, Mate stuck around and grew into the almost quarter-of-a-million-dollar business it is today.

What is Mate?

Mate is a translator app targeted at expats, language learners, and digital nomads.

Instead of copy-pasting a word into Google Translate, customers double-click any word to translate it right from their browser window. “We integrate nicely on the native level with any website,” says Alex. “When working with a language that’s not your mother tongue, you can save 30-50 interactions per day with our service.”

Mate has an API for the six most common languages on the platform (Alex says they make up 80 percent of all translations). For the rest, Mate uses the Google Translate API.

“I would say the translation quality isn’t much better than Google Translate,” says Alex. “What we sell is good UX. Especially on iOS, our users adore that they can read websites without having to copy-paste. Neither Google nor other apps like DeepL have the integrations we have.”

The majority of Mate’s business is through its browser extensions for Chrome, Opera, Safari, Edge, and Firefox. For browser extensions, Mate runs a freemium model providing their basic text look-up function free of charge. 

If you choose to purchase the pro version, you gain access to dozens of extra features geared to help the aspiring language learner. Mate Pro features phonetic transcriptions, articles for nouns, and a phrasebook where you can create lists of words you want to learn.

On the app stores, Mate offers their entire app with all the above features free for seven days before requiring payment.

So far Alex and Andrii have kept the team small. “We have two developers, a CS guy, and two team members for marketing on YouTube and in the App Store,” says Alex.

Growth at Mate has recently declined slightly. Alex says they made $250,000 last year but have only made $35,000 since September of 2021 – he believes this is a temporary drop while they switch to a subscription model.

Playing the Long Game on the App Store

Alex says there have been two major growth milestones at Mate. One was when the team first took App Store rankings seriously. The second was the iOS 15 update.

Their first revenue jump occurred in the spring of 2019 when Alex and Andrii started focusing on app store optimization. Similar to SEO (search engine optimization), app store optimization is a process of targeting keywords in app stores to increase app ranking.

“You start with low-competition keywords and work to unlock increased access to better keywords with higher traffic,” says Alex. “You can also try to unlock higher conversion rates with compelling screenshots and app reviews.”

The second jump was when Apple announced Safari browser extensions for iOS in September of 2021.

Mate was already immensely popular on the Mac App Store, topping the rankings in two years. Ranking on the iOS App Store was much harder. Alex says this is because the iOS store is extremely competitive.

“We tried very hard to rank in the iOS App Store and it just wasn’t working,” he says. “That was until iOS 15.”

The iOS 15 update was the moment the Mate team had been waiting for. “Browser integration is what 90 percent of our customers come for,” says Alex. “We have dozens of integrations with services like Netflix and most of our customers use Chrome and Safari. Before the iOS 15 update, people had to click three times in Safari on their phones to translate anything.”

The Mate team immediately ported their Safari extension from Mac to iOS and released the update on the same day that iOS 15 launched. Sales soared. However, getting those sales wasn’t entirely an overnight stroke of luck – Mate had been playing a long game with their content marketing to prepare.

“We were 100 percent certain that once browser extensions dropped on iOS, all the blogs about software would make listicles about the 10 best Safari extensions for iOS,” says Alex. “We wrote a blog titled 10 Best Safari Extensions ahead of time. Once the actual extensions dropped we became the first result for iOS Safari extensions.”

Publishing the first listicle ahead of the new release didn’t just get Mate to the top of Google search results, it also provided huge backlink opportunities.

“Once one listicle is made, other sites usually make their own listicles by taking your listicle and shuffling the order,” says Alex. “Because so many sites copied that article, we appeared all over the web with a ton of backlinks.”

While Alex can’t prove it, he also thinks some people at Apple may have pushed internally to give Mate more exposure. The two founders had been speaking with them for some time.

“We always knew Apple would get an iOS browser extension feature eventually,” says Alex. “We’d previously shown Mate to people at Apple like the head of Safari extensions and let them test it. We never asked directly, but we think our app was shown around internally and that greatly helped us to get all those features.”

Could Google Ever Take Down Mate?

As for competition, Alex thinks that there is little to worry about from their most obvious competitor, Google Translate.

“It’s too small a niche,” he says. “Google Translate is a side-tech they use on YouTube to help translate and monetize ads. I don’t think they ever intend to make money with it besides selling the API.”

Alex believes Mate is on the verge of a third major pivot: They plan to upgrade their tech, start switching to subscriptions, and begin selling B2B.

“The idea is that after one year we get rolling subscriptions,” he says. “Another thing that we want to experiment with is B2B sales. I’ve noticed we have many people in customer support roles using our product. These are people at large businesses like Apple, Booking.com, and Shopify. I want to come to bigger companies and sell them 1,000 subscriptions at a time.” 

Advice for Communication Tech Founders

If Alex had to do it all over again, he would have stayed focused on Mate from the start instead of his other projects. 

“One of the best things I learned is that you need to stay focused on one thing. We spent a couple of years working on other apps and none of them ended up being worth the time spent. A year ago we got rid of all of them and focused completely on Mate.”

Another piece of advice he has for founders is to be wary of creating solutions specifically for the language learning niche.

“We position ourselves as a communication tool not a language learning tool,” Alex says. “People who learn languages are usually learning them to move to another country for work or study. In both cases, customers are generally young and don’t have much they’re willing to spend. You can’t charge a lot.”

Alex’s last piece of advice is for engineers:

Sixty to seventy percent of success is how you sell, promote, and market.

“You don’t need to go down the rabbit hole of working on your product too much. Sixty to seventy percent of success is how you sell, promote, and market. Thirty percent of it is the product. I made this mistake myself when I was younger. I recommend reading a book called Traction by the DuckDuckGo founder. It says you need to spend 50 percent of your time building and 50 percent marketing.”

Big tech doesn’t necessarily trample everyone out of the market. Alex’s story shows there are still many small problems that big businesses are unwilling to spend the time or resources to fix. However, they are still profitable at a small scale and many big tech companies will even help promote these solutions if they make their platform more desirable. Make that simple fix and see if anyone else likes it.

Rumor: iOS 18 to include new ‘Safari browsing assistant’ AI feature

iOS 18 is rumored to include a number of new artificial intelligence features spread across the entire operating system. A new rumor today suggests that one of those features could be “Safari browsing assistant.”

As for what that means, we are left to speculation for now…

Safari browsing assistant rumored for iOS 18

In a post on social media today, code sleuth Nicolás Álvarez shared two new features in the works at Apple:

• Safari browsing assistant
• Encrypted visual search

According to Álvarez, both of these features use Apple’s Private Relay infrastructure to send data back to Apple. Álvarez speculates that this is a privacy-preserving practice on Apple’s part, so it doesn’t learn user IP addresses. Of note, iCloud Private Relay is currently only available to iCloud+ subscribers.

( Update : Álvarez says that it’s not actually iCloud Private Relay but rather an “Oblivious HTTP gateway.”)

Apple already offers different visual search-style features, integrated into Spotlight and the Photos app. It’s not explicitly clear if “encrypted visual search” is just a more secure version of existing features or something new entirely.

The more interesting thing here is the “Safari browsing assistant” feature. Based solely on the name, this feature sounds like it will bring AI features of some sort to Safari, similar to what other browsers already offer. Microsoft’s Edge browser, for example, has different Copilot AI features built in. Arc from The Browser Company also combines a variety of AI features with web browsing.

Bloomberg reports that Apple is likely to team up with a company such as Google to power some of its new AI features. We aren’t expecting any announcement from Apple about a partnership until WWDC at the earliest.

iOS 18 is expected to be announced at WWDC, which kicks off on June 10. Check out our in-depth guide for more details on what to expect from AI in iOS 18 .

Álvarez has also reported that iOS 18 will bring two new features to Apple Maps on iPhone, including custom route creation and new topographic maps.

iOS 18 rumored to have a mysterious Safari Browsing Assistant feature

An iPhone running iOS 17

Apple is a few months away from introducing the new features it will be including in iOS 18 at WWDC 2024. As the rumor mill ramps up ahead of the event, two new features have surfaced that could improve how users browse the internet.

According to Nicolas Alvarez on X, the features are titled "Safari browsing assistant" and "Encrypted visual search." Alvarez doesn't go into detail about the features of each, but does say that they each appear to use the Private Relay infrastructure to send data to Apple.

Though actual details of the features remain unknown, the names do at least offer some hint as to what they could be.

Coming in iOS 18: - "Safari browsing assistant" - "Encrypted visual search" Both features seem to use the Private Relay infrastructure to send data to Apple (so that they don't know your IP?). — Nicols lvarez (@nicolas09F9) April 10, 2024

The Safari Browsing Assistant could is naturally linked to Safari itself, but the name may mean some sort of intelligent help could be summoned for users trying to accomplish tasks. Since Apple has been working on AI and machine learning, there's a good chance the technologies will be in play here.

The other, Encrypted Visual Search, could be an evolution of existing search systems available in its operating systems. For example, Spotlight does allow for the content of images to be found, while Visual Look Up offers more information about items detected in images.

Alvarez is uncertain as to what exactly is being changed with Encrypted Visual Search, other than "better privacy" for users. However, Visual Search has also been mentioned in visionOS , albeit not used in the software itself.

It's also entirely plausible that it could be Apple attempting to provide an image-based search system, similar to the function in Google Image Search. But, since Apple doesn't want to offer a full-blown search engine to the public just yet, this seems a little doubtful.

Other recently discovered features include Apple Maps routes , a redesign inspired by visionOS, and more home screen customizations .
