Detailed Steps:

Select the text to translate: Open the document in which you want to translate the text using Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. Select the text you want to translate.

These built-in features make it easy to handle translation and text replacement tasks directly within the iWorks apps on your iPad saving you time and effort.
