SwiftBindings.Apple.Translation

SwiftBindings.Apple.Translation

Native .NET bindings for Apple's Translation framework — on-device language translation and language-availability queries. These are not Objective-C proxy wrappers; they use .NET 10's native Swift interop for direct, high-performance calls into Swift APIs from C#.

📖 Full usage guide → — requests/responses, sessions, batch translation, language availability, and error handling, with the exact C# names emitted by the generator.

Installation

dotnet add package SwiftBindings.Apple.Translation

Requirements

• .NET 10.0+
• Target framework: net10.0-ios26.2 or higher. The package is compiled against the iOS 26.2 SDK supplement, so your app's <TargetFramework> platform version must be ≥ 26.2 to restore it — an explicit lower TPV (e.g. net10.0-ios18.0) or a bare net10.0-ios whose installed workload defaults below 26.2 fails restore with NU1202. This is the compile-SDK pin, not your app's deployment minimum.
• Deployment minimum is separate — set your app's real minimum OS with <SupportedOSPlatformVersion> (independent of the TFM above). Individual APIs that need a newer OS at runtime are gated by generated [SupportedOSPlatform] attributes; the C# compiler flags a call that isn't valid for your target.
• macOS host for development

Usage

using Translation;

// Translate a single string
var request = new TranslationSession.Request("Hello, world!");
var sourceText = request.SourceText;            // "Hello, world!"
var clientId = request.ClientIdentifier;         // optional correlation id

// Inspect availability metadata
var availability = new LanguageAvailability();

// Errors
var error = TranslationError.UnsupportedLanguagePairing;
var description = error.ErrorDescription;
var reason = error.FailureReason;

TranslationSession, LanguageAvailability, and the TranslationError cases are all bound; the Swift-side TranslationSession is driven by the SwiftUI .translationTask modifier — refer to Apple's documentation for the full request/response lifecycle.
