IOS – How to use the desktop version of Google translate on the iPhone

desktopgoogleiosmacos

The desktop version of Google Translate has features that are not available when using the App on an iPhone (e.g., the phrasebook). I’ve tried to use these features by accessing the desktop version of Google Translate on my iPhone via the “request desktop app” feature in both Safari and Chrome without success.

Is there anyway to use the desktop version of Google Translate while on an iPhone?

I think what you want is in the Google Translate ios app. At least the phrasebook.

Here's Google's documentation that talks about how to use the phrasebook (save translations) on different platforms.

Save translations - IOS

Add a word or phrase

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Translate app.
  2. Translate a word or phrase.
  3. Next to the translation, tap Star translation.

See & delete translations

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Translate app.
  2. At the bottom, tap Saved.
  3. To remove a word or phrase, tap Star translation.

Note: Your app phrasebook saves on the app only. You won't see it on other devices or in your mobile browser.
