Hello Elliot Kirk,
Personally, I really like the built-in translation feature of the Microsoft Edge browser, especially its ease of use; (I often use translations from other languages into Persian and English.)
- A unique feature that makes it very distinctive is that when translating a language written from left to right into a language written from right to left, it makes it fit the target language of right-aligned or left-aligned, but still has its drawbacks.
For example, it does not align some of the lines.
- Another problem that many faces are that sometimes due to the speed of the Internet and the technical problem of the translator, etc., some lines or words are not translated in the website or browser environment and automatic translation is not updated for those sections. The next problem is that the icons or arrows of websites or the homepage of the Bing browser after translation (often for translating languages written from left to right in languages written from right to left) sometimes crash or not at all or they lose their efficiency.
- The translate section feature has the problem of not showing the original text after translation
- It is not possible to suggest a translation of the website by Microsoft Edge's built-in translator, but Google Translator allows you to contribute and suggest a better translation for each phrase, which makes for a better translation on websites (translating a very different text from a website And I think you should add a way to provide and feedback like Google Translator)
- And last but not least, the Microsoft Translator is mediocre and Google Translator does a better job, but the beauty and simplicity of working with Microsoft Internal Translator are greater and it has features that Google Translator lacks and vice versa.
- The attached images can help to understand the problems mentioned or not, I hope these important problems will be solved as soon as possible. Thankful 🙏
