The translation overlay is a powerful tool for developers looking to efficiently add multilingual support to their apps. Its focus on ease of integration, on-device processing, and real-time translation capabilities opens new possibilities for creating accessible and globalized apps on iOS. However, if you seek more control and customization, you may need to consider augmenting the built-in UI with custom components.
Here are some factors that you should consider:
Accessibility: Ensure that the translation UI is accessible to users with disabilities, following Apple’s accessibility guidelines.
Privacy: Consider privacy implications when using cloud-based translation services.
Testing: Thoroughly test the translation UI across different devices and iOS versions to ensure compatibility and performance.
By carefully considering these factors, you can make informed decisions about using the built-in system translation UI or taking advantage of custom translation APIs. You’ll learn about that in the next lesson!
