iOS can now directly translate. Just long press on the text in any app, even if it’s in a picture or screenshot.

Unfortunately it barley works (unless I'm doing something wrong)

I had little success in the following apps testing with both pictures and text where I could: LINE, Daily Chinese, HelloPanda, Firefox (works on text that can be highed only and some images but doesn't work on video thumbnails for example), Mail - doesn't work on text that can't be highed.

Safari works on some images and text that can be hilighted but not on text that can't be hilighted.

Let me know if there is something I'm doing wrong, I'm desperate to get this working better.
