Switching between apps to translate a word, menu item, or sign is a constant interruption when you are travelling or working with international colleagues. A Google Translate shortcut for iPhone brings instant translation right to your home screen or action button. Just tap, speak or type, and the result appears in seconds, no app switching, no loading screens.
Tap the shortcut and choose whether to type or dictate your text. The shortcut sends the input to the Google Translate API and displays the translated result as a notification or spoken response. You can customise the default source and target languages so the most common pair you need is always pre-selected.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Translate selected text from Spanish to English using Google Translate').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the translation shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add the Google Translate shortcut directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Translates without leaving your current context, ideal when reading a foreign document or website.
Dictate what you want translated for fully hands-free operation while travelling.
Supports all languages available in Google Translate with a simple menu to switch pairs on the fly.

Describe this shortcutCredit is required before Turin builds it. Review the actions, then install.
Signed-in users can build one custom AI shortcut each day for free, subject to free-model availability. Continued generation uses prepaid credit according to model usage, and a 0.1 credit compile fee applies only when an installable paid shortcut is stored. No subscription or App Store download is required.
Compatibility depends on the actions the shortcut uses and the software on your device. Review the generated actions before installing, especially when a shortcut relies on newer Apple features or third-party apps.
It depends on its actions. Device-only actions can run locally, while web, weather, AI, and other online services need a connection. Turin needs a connection to build and install the shortcut.
Absolutely. You can describe any changes to Turin and get a new version in seconds, or open the shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app and edit the actions directly.
