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!

Maxima . 

you're welcome, nice :smile:

 

if you add more languages, you can check this box to let Edge know you still want to translate pages in that language. this screenshot is from Edge canary that I'm using but it shouldn't be so different in Edge stable

    HotCakeX & @Maxima . 

     

    Thank you both for your input on this most relevant topic to us Expats living in sunny Thailand.

     

    I/we have been having a very hard time / problem with built in translator using all three version of Edge  stable, beta, dev for Windows 7 (myself), so my so called back-up is Google Translate which has always been the translator that I have used for a long time with I.E. 11, and still to date. 

     

    Qus. When will Microsoft provide a proper and good Thai language translator for New Edge? as Microsoft version is also in Thai language, by the way.
