Besides being able to translate words, phrases, and conversations, the Translate function of iOS 14 also offers translations of whole web pages on Safari. This is a great function for when you're traveling and the default language on your browser and webpages are a language you aren't proficient in, or if you just happen to stumble across something you don't understand while browsing the internet.

How to Translate a Website on Safari

Open the webpage you would like translated in Safari.
At the top of the page, tap the two A's that appear next to the web address.
Tap Translate to English.
Tap Enable Translation.

Once you've let Safari translate the page, you'll see everything has been switched to English, but the photos, layout, etc., have stayed the same.
