Before iOS 26 I could press on a text message to bring up option to translate Arabic to English. This option is gone in iOS 26 and the auto translate function doesn’t let you translate Arabic.
Got a tip for us?

iMessage long press to translate

So when you long press on a message translate is still part of the contextual meaning that appears? It’s gone for me on beta 2. It’s hard to know if this is a bug or a new feature.
Thank you. Grateful for the explanation, before a long press brought up translate as an option. Got it now, an extra press!
