Translating a document with Apple's tools typically takes just a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the length and complexity of the text.

Estimated Duration: 5 minutes

Apple's translation tools, such as the built-in Translate app or document translation features, use AI-powered machine translation to quickly process text. For a standard one-page document, translation is nearly instantaneous (under 10 seconds). Longer documents (10+ pages) may take a few minutes. Factors affecting speed include internet connection (for cloud-based features), text complexity, and formatting. For best results, ensure your document is in a supported format (PDF, Word, etc.) and use a stable internet connection if cloud processing is required. Apple's neural engine in newer devices also accelerates on-device translations.
