Why not adopt translation tool into the TTS reading of Edge?
Hi,
Edge can read aloud Chinese text in Chinese accent and language, English text in English accent and language and so on.
so where is the problem exactly?
Another thing, (using translation + Read aloud together)
I can go here:
translate the whole page to Chinese simplified first, and then go to ellipsis menu (...) and select Read Aloud to read the entire page for me. Edge will automatically use a natural Chinese voice to read it. again no problem. it uses native Chinese natural voice.
also take a look at this:
HotCakeX Thank you for your reply! But that is not what I mean. If I wanna see something in language that I have zero knowledge about, I have bunches of extensions to use like these ones:

I just mean that if someone who want to read a foreign article with its original reading while he was not that familiar with the language, or someone who are learning a target language and try to read something in that language with the assistance of the Edge TTS reading. The Edge TTS reading will help a lot if it add this translation function!
For instance, now a Persian speaker trying to learn German with the assist of Edge TTS. If you add the translation of each word and sentence. It did help a lot and could accelerate your language learning!
"If you add the translation of each word and sentence. It did help a lot and could accelerate your language learning!"
Well you can do that too, highlight a text (word or sentence), right-click and select read aloud, or translate.

HotCakeX What if I just want to read the complete article the same speed as the native speakers? If you click each sentence to read and translate, it's a waste of time! TTS‘s major functions lying in reading an article in a foreign language. Not much people use it to read article in their native speech. Some old generations of ethnic minorities like Uyghur and Tibetan are not used to read a long article in Chinese, but they just want to read the original article with a little assistance of translation. If the have to read the whole passage all by click of mouse, it will be a little boring. And farther more, many extension have already reach this goal of sentence translation and reading like this：
