I love that Edge now has translation built in, but why does it only allow me to translate if the page isn't in my preferred language? I'm an English speaker learning Spanish. I'd like the option always available to translate a page, even if it's already in my preferred language. For example, I'd like the ability to translate an English page (my preferred language) into Spanish. Please consider changing the way translation is implemented to allow this for folks. Thank you and everyone for your work on this awesome new browser!
Thank you.

Hey Joshua Morrison - the way you can do that today is via the context menu.
- Translate option would show up in the context menu on a English page as well.
- When you select that translate icon comes up near the address bar.
- Once you click on that, you get ability to choose your target language.
Hope this helps.
I think an interesting point that comes out is can we name the context menu option better.
