You can set Lara Translate once in iOS settings, then use it anywhere iOS shows the Translate action. This makes translation feel built-in, because it shows up exactly when you need it.
See the full guide to Set Lara as your default translation app on iPhone.
Set it up in 3 steps
- Open iPhone Settings and go to the translation settings.
- Select Lara Translate as your default translation app.
- Translate inside your apps whenever iOS shows the Translate action.
What can you translate with the default iOS Translate action?
Any time iOS offers “Translate”, you can use Lara Translate instead of switching to another app. That means less friction and fewer steps.
- Messages and emails: translate text while reading or replying.
- Websites: understand foreign pages without leaving your browser.
- Short texts: translate phrases while traveling, studying, or working.
Why is setting a default translation app useful?
Because most translations happen in context. Not in a dedicated “translation moment”, but while you are doing something else.
If you have to copy, paste, switch apps, and come back, you lose time and often lose the thread of the conversation.
Using Lara Translate as the default translation app removes that friction. It keeps translation closer to the moment you need it.
Common situations where this saves you time
- Work: replying to a message from an international customer or partner.
- Travel: understanding instructions, confirmations, or quick messages.
- Study: decoding short passages without breaking focus.
- Daily life: handling small interactions where you just need clarity fast.
