iOS 14 adds a new standalone Translate app. This stock application is able to recognize languages and translate speech in real-time. But there is more. Safari can now also translate entire web pages.
The web page translation feature is currently in beta testing.

In these early stages the supported languages are English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese. At the time of writing, this new feature is only available in the U.S. and Canada region. However it should expand soon to other regions. iOS 14 is scheduled to be released to the public this fall.
