Translate in Microsoft Edge
For me it simply does not work at all. I went to https://www.gouvernement.fr/ on build 76.0.167.1 as a result of getting the welcome back page appear in a tab telling me about the new translate function.
There is no translate button/icon in the address bar and no context menu option to translate when hightlighting a word or short phrase either.
It seems unlikely that MS would announce such a feature that was completely broken so I'm not sure what is wrong.

Peter Row , @nehal1507 Can you update the browser (by clicking on the update icon on top right corner) and restart the browser. Let us know if the issue persists along with version no. you are on.

Anoop_Gopikumar I can confirm the reason it doesn't work is because at work I'm on the dev channel which does not have the feature. At home I'm on the canary channel and going to the same website I used as an example in my previous post Edge immediately offers it to me.
So in short the problem is MS in their welcome back page after an update tell dev channel users about a feature that doesn't exist in their build yet.
