Useful distinctions
Restore runs on device. Cloud Translate and Explain send the text required for the request through Ponte’s service to Anthropic. Credits are tied to the device and do not transfer to a replacement device or restore through Apple ID. Translation quality varies; users can compare passages with the original.
