What might one do when Translate app gets stuck on "Download Offline Languages?"
I’ve got the same issue on iOS 17 and did everything Apple help suggests apart from a clean iOS install that I’m just not going to waste my time doing. The simplest solution is to delete the Apple app and use Google Translator app instead. No issues with their language packs and it works just as well if not better anyway. Sorry Apple but you do sometimes suck.

A user in an earlier conversation (closed a couple of months ago, due to "no one's replied in awhile) described the screen as follows. I can confirm that the screen might look similar to this when frozen...

Thank you for the screenshot.
Download All Languages:
This is the Translate App. Reportedly, after you have downloaded all of these languages (including English), this screen will go away. Translate app doesn't work if you download languages Apple ios has a major bug - Apple Community
One can try: Settings -> Translate -> Download Languages. There one might find that there are no Languages Available Offline (even when certain that it was once so). Download two languages and watch them populate on the screen. Once complete, go back to the app and one might find it working again.
