Hello, everyone.
My name is Shawna.
Today, I'm going to show you
how to use the Translation tool
in the Snap&Read iOS
Safari extension.
Follow along with me and don't
be afraid to pause the video,
rewind, and go back if
you missed anything.
Let's get started.
So we're going to begin by
navigating to our iPad screen.
And we will select our
Safari app and open it up.
I will now need to activate our
Snap&Read iOS Safari extension,
which I will do by navigating
to the upper-right-hand corner
of my web browser and selecting
the box icon with the upward
arrow coming out of it.
That is the Share button.
So we're going to click on that.
And a pop-up menu will appear.
In the third row down, you'll
see a grayed out Snap&Read
icon.
So you'll select that option.
And your Snap&Read iOS Safari
extension toolbar will appear
in the upper-left-hand
corner of your screen.
So we're going to
bring that down here.
I am reading about the biography
of Martin Luther King Junior,
but I want to translate this
to French, because I also
speak French.
We will need to activate our
Translation tool in order
to do that.
I will need to click on
the Translation tool,
which is the icon on the very
right of your Snap&Read iOS
Safari extension toolbar.
It looks like a symbol to
the upper right-hand corner
of the letter A. The
first thing I will do
is click and hold the
Translation tool for a second,
and then let it go.
This will bring up
a pop up menu that
says, Translate Into with a
language specified below that.
Click on the language, and
another menu will pop up with
a list of all the languages that
Snap&Read read can translate
English to.
Click on the language that you
want the text to translate to.
I'm looking for French,
so I will select French
from the list.
Below the Translate
Into option, you
will see the Translation
Voice option.
Select the name
below that, and you
will be able to
select a voice that
reads that language to you.
Once you are done
changing your settings,
you can click anywhere
out of that menu.
You will now need to select
the text you want translated.
Click and hold on
a word in the page
that you want to
translate, and let it
go when it is highlighted blue.
You will see blue markers
at the beginning and end
of your highlight.
Move those to select the
entirety of your text
that you want translated.
I'm going to select this
whole paragraph here.
Now, click on your
Translation tool.
Your text has been translated
with the click of a button.
So simple and lightning fast.
Another cool feature
with the Translation tool
is the quick ability to switch
that language back to English.
You can click anywhere in
the newly translated text,
and you'll be able to see
the English version as well.
If you click on that text
again, it will bring it back
to the translated version.
This is particularly
useful for people
learning another
language, because it
allows you to quickly compare
words and sentences to help you
analyze the usage of words
and sentence structures
in the different languages.
The Translation tool
is changing the way
that you read text in
different languages.
