import Translation - Just By Speaking

At WWDC24, Apple announced Translation, a new ML-powered framework in iOS 18 providing APIs to access the models powering iOS’s Translate app. One nice surprise – the basic implementation is already available as of iOS 17.4 – so developers can easily add a system provided translation overlay in SwiftUI using the .translationPresentation() modifier. I first tried experimenting with this in June, but Xcode wasn’t recognizing the modifier on my SwiftUI view.
