To use translation in a video, you can leverage the Translation API introduced by Apple at WWDC. The API provides two main options for offering translation within your app:

  1. Translation Overlay: This is a simple API that allows you to show a translation overlay with just one line of SwiftUI. It provides a system UI that translates text into the user's language. This is ideal for scenarios where you want to offer quick translations of text, such as user reviews in different languages.

  2. Text Translation API: This offers more flexibility, allowing you to translate text and display the output in any UI you prefer. You can batch requests to translate multiple strings efficiently, which is useful for translating content like documents or multiple user reviews.

For more detailed information on how to implement these features, you can refer to the session Meet the Translation API (02:10) which covers the simple overlay translation, and Meet the Translation API (04:01) for flexible translation options.

These APIs are supported on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, and they utilize on-device machine learning models to perform translations, ensuring privacy and efficiency.
