My biggest multilingual gripe on iOS is that highlighting text in, say, Czech and pressing Translate on the popup just tells you to fuck off.

Like, sure, don't support the language, but at least give me a Google Translate link then.

Did you enable the Czech-English dictionary under Settings -> General -> Dictionary?

You can also add Czech as a language under Settings -> General -> Language & Region -> Add Language. This will let you switch your keyboard to Czech when typing and enable the language on websites and stuff. You can also switch the whole phone to Czech if you like, just by moving Czech to the top of the list of preferred languages.

For comparison, by simply using Gboard in iPhone you don’t need that and can type English and Czech in the same keyboard.

Same with SwiftKey, if for any reason you'd rather not have your keyboard from GOOGL.

I do have the keyboard enabled, but the long press translation feature is a separate thing.

They do this for cycling directions in Apple Maps too.

Come on Apple, you KNOW you don’t support cycling directions in Ireland - stop getting my hopes up every time I ask for directions. Just only show the button when you’re in a geo that supports the feature.
