A foreign-language app, chat, game, or webpage can be difficult to understand when the text cannot be copied or selected. Screen Translation lets you translate words directly from your phone screen, so you can keep using the original app while getting the meaning you need.
This guide explains how to set up and use Screen Translation in AI Phone.
