Translate a draft

What it does

If you dictated in one language and want to read the draft in another, tap Translate. The app shows a translation under each section and under each audit verdict. The original text is not changed.

How to use it

1. Open a draft and find the Translate button (globe icon) above the draft sections.
2. Tap it. When it finishes, the button reads "Translated · " followed by the language code.
3. A caption tells you what to do next. It reads "Open a section's “Translation” below to read it in", followed by the language code.
4. Open the Translation section under any part of the draft to read it. The audit cards in the Audit pipeline also get a Translation section for their verdicts.

Settings that affect it

• The target language is your Interface language (Settings > Interface language). If it is set to System default, the target is your iPhone's language.
• If the draft is already in the target language, the button is switched off and the caption says "Draft is already in", followed by that language code.

Limits and honest caveats

• A translation is for reading only. It is displayed next to the text and does not change the draft.
• Translations are made by AI (artificial intelligence) and carry the label "AI-generated · not legal advice". Wording can be wrong, and in a legal document a wrong word matters. Check with a person who knows both languages before you rely on it.
• If it fails you see "Couldn't translate right now. Please try again." If the server has nothing for this draft, you see "No translation available for this draft."
• Read-aloud reads the original text, not the translation. See "Read a draft aloud".

FAQ

Does the translation change my draft? No. It is display-only, so the draft keeps its original text.
