translation api

The "Meet the Translation API" session at WWDC 2024 covers various aspects of integrating translation features into your apps. Here are the key points discussed:

1. Introduction:

   • Overview of the translation features available in the Translate app and system-wide translation capabilities.
   • Introduction to new APIs that leverage machine learning models for translation.

2. Simple Overlay Translation:

   • A straightforward API to show a translation overlay with minimal code.
   • Example of adding translation to an app with a single line of SwiftUI.

3. Flexible Translation:

   • Introduction to the translation session class for more complex translation needs.
   • How to translate multiple strings at a time and handle asynchronous results.
   • Example of translating user reviews and updating the UI with translated content.

4. Language Support:

   • Discussion on supported languages, including the addition of Hindi.
   • Using the language availability class to check supported languages and translation pairings.

5. Best Practices:

   • Recommendations for developing on actual devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) as the APIs do not function in the simulator.
   • Tips on attaching translation presentation and task modifiers correctly.
   • Advice on handling translations for multiple languages efficiently.
