Edge cannot translate pages that contain English and another language
Edge cannot translate pages that contain English and another language
Check this page for example, the content of the page is Chinese but Edge can't translate it into English

it seems that in "edge chromium" it does not work again to translate the page into any language, both by selecting the translator button and by selecting the text and clicking translate selected
Microsoft Edge Version 95.0.1020.44 (Official build) (64-bit)
I'm experiencing the same thing on Edge insider canary Version 80.0.331.0
I think the problem is that Edge cannot recognize the language of the web pages properly.
in the translate pop up:
it says "always translate pages from English", so Edge thinks this page's language is English and not Chinese or Mixed. that's why it's failing.
then I tried to trick Edge to think that, okay the page is in English, now translate it to another language, say Russian:
and it could successfully translate all the contents to Russian
