Translate in Microsoft Edge
The Microsoft Translator extension is no longer needed! To help bring all the web to you, we are adding the ability to translate web pages to the preview channels of Microsoft Edge. Translation is no...
I can also confirm that automatic translation works sporadically on Edge Dev v76.0.167.1. It's hit or miss in most situations and I'm yet to pinpoint what triggers the automatic translation prompt.
debsuvra , It might have happened because the language that 'Translate' feature detects has been marked by you for auto-translate while some other languages haven't been set for auto-translate. In case of web pages which has content in multiple languages, preference of the dominant language that we detect would determine the behavior. Please do confirm if this is not the case.
Anoop_Gopikumar Hi, I can confirm that is not the case as I haven't marked any languages for auto-translate yet.
- Thanks for sharing all the feedback! One of the top feedback from above discussion is that sometimes you don’t get translate prompt. We have rolled out translate incrementally to our user base. Currently all of you should have Translate capability lighted up across Dev and Canary builds. Please do check for following:
- Update Edge by clicking on update icon on top right corner
- Restart Edge if necessary and check if the issue persists.
- Check if a language is marked as your known language, by visiting Setting languages. If this is accidentally added, remove it from there.
When does Edge not offer Translate:
- When a page is in a certain language and that language has been marked as a language that you know. You can look up at this list by going to Setting languages
- When content in a given page is too less for us to successfully detect the language of the page
- When the web page has multiple languages and the predominant language is one that is in your known list of languages.
If issue still persists, please let us know. If possible, do share the URL in reference as well.
Thanks!
