Apple Watch's Real-Time Translation Allows You to Talk in Two Languages: Language Barriers No More?

Here's how to use real-time translation in case you're visiting other countries.

Visiting France will be easier if you just know French. The same goes when visiting Tokyo or Nagoya in Japan. But above all, if you are looking for the best you can have for your travels, then it is best to familiarize yourself with the common words of other countries. Of course, this is much easier with an Apple Watch.

Seamless global communication is made possible by the improved Translate app in WatchOS 11. With this, talking in two languages, no matter where you are, is now possible.
