Could you build this?
Partial While an iOS translation UI is straightforward, high-accuracy offline OCR and on-device neural machine translation across 58 languages requires optimized on-device ML models and memory management.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an iOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) integrating Apple's Vision framework or custom lightweight ML models (such as Quantized MarianMT or Whisper/NLLB via CoreML). The hard part is packaging and running 58 offline translation model weights within iOS app store size limits and runtime thermal/memory constraints without degrading translation quality.
