I vote up Bing translator extension for new Edge
I have been encouraged by fast and effective help here (for different issue). So i decided to voice my need in good "official" translator extension for new Edge.
I replaced old Edge today (I use Edge since it was released years ago - I dislike Chrome very much). And found that there is no Microsoft Translator anymore. I wouldnt risk installing 3d party extensions on my machine..
So here is what I think:
1. I am british expat in Europe for quite a few years but I dont speak local language (dont ask! :)) and i also shop online in different countries with different languages. So I basically rely on automatic translation every day. It might seem not very common scenario but I expect is less uncommon than you think. So it would be very useful if there was a Microsoft Translator extension as it was in old Edge (the button next to favourites). I hope it gets released soon
2. the translator needs usability improved. the old Edge translator was a little bit rough on the edges (pun intended!). its a different conversation but i just want to signal to the dev team that it was an important feature and if they can make it a little more ergonomic and usable that would be greatly appreciated by people like me.
- thats a kerfuffle ! 🙂 when i installed new Edge - it said somewhere - this needs your attention. I clicked the link and it was a page saying something like - Edge Translator is not available. But you can install an extension from Microsoft store. I looked there and they seemed all 3d parties.. And also there wasnt the familiar button on the right of the address bar...
But you are right! The translator is there and it works!
