Whenever I need to translate a website, I always fire up Google’s Chrome browser, which detects foreign languages and pops up a handy translate button.
But no more.
Safari now offers its own handy translate feature. And, unlike Chrome, it can even translate text inside images using Live Text.
Safari translation works in multiple languages and might come in very handy if you're traveling this year. Here’s how to get the most out of it.

Apple is redesigning its chips to make them even more powerful. The upcoming high-end M3 Ultra promises to be a face-melting beast.
Apple TV+ may not have the most content, but it has a lot of the best content, a survey of IMDb ratings found. This reflects my own experience. These days, I tend to fire up Apple TV+ more than other streaming services.
Amazon’s Woot! has big savings on Macs, MacBooks and iPads.
You can find Beats headphones cheap online, but it’s hard to know if they are genuine or not: They’re widely counterfeited. These $180 Beats Studio Pros are nearly half-off, and you can rest assured they’re the genuine article. I just bought a pair and love the sound and portability.
If you own a Vision Pro headset, be sure to watch Apple’s new Immersive Video recap of the Major League Soccer playoffs, which debuts this evening. If it’s like Apple’s other Immersive videos, it’ll be amazing.
And if you have an iPhone 12, you just got a sneaky charging upgrade.

One more thing ...
The older I get, the more I see how much motivations matter. The Zune was crappy because the people at Microsoft don’t really love music or art the way we do. We won because we personally love music. We made the iPod for ourselves, and when you’re doing something for yourself, or your best friend or family, you’re not going to cheese out. If you don’t love something, you’re not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much.
