So, I hear a lot of you are switching to the Red Note app. It's no surprise — it's a fantastic platform! But let’s be honest, running into those Chinese posts can feel like hitting a language barrier. Translating them one by one? Total drag, especially when you're staring at a whole screen of Chinese text. Don't worry, though, I've got you covered.

Did you know your iPhone has a built-in full-screen translation feature? It’s free, super simple to use, and here’s how it works:

How to Translate Chinese Posts Using Your iPhone

  1. Take a Screenshot: Find the Chinese post you want to translate and take a screenshot of it.

  2. Open the Screenshot: Tap to open the screenshot in your Photos app.

  3. Access Markup Tools: Tap the Markup icon (the pencil icon in the top right corner). If the text is already detected, you might not need to do this step.

  4. Detect Text: Once the text is detected, you’ll have the option to view the English translation.

  5. Detailed Translation: Tap on specific lines to get detailed translations. This is especially handy for reading comments without any hassle.

One-Click Translation via Web

If you’re after something even quicker, the web version of Red Note (https://www.xiaohongshu.com/) on your iPhone or computer has an automatic translation feature. This is a real lifesaver for translating entire screens or engaging with posts.

Leave Comments in Chinese

Want to interact with Chinese users? You can leave comments in Chinese with ease:

  1. Download a keyboard app like Gboard.
  2. Use its built-in language input settings to translate directly into Chinese.
  3. It's easy, convenient, and opens up a world of interaction possibilities.

Looking Ahead

The Red Note app team is aware of the need for better multilingual support, so fingers crossed for an in-app translator in a future update. That would be a game-changer!
