Translating SharePoint pages with built-in Edge translation features not working as expected
Hi everyone Am hoping someone can please help with the translation features now built-in to Edge. We are very keen to try to use these to enable our users to choose to translate SharePoint news a...
ganeshsanap This is understood, the question is why does it appear only sometimes.
AnetaKotucha From our research we found it was dependent on the type of content on the page. It appears for news pages and other text prominent pages, not for home pages and similar. Also only works on modern not classic. This is only our non-confirmed findings.
We have created a set of (modern) SharePoint communcation sites, most of them with language set to English, but some of them are meant to include text in languages other than English.
And such - few sites are created with language set to Chinese.
I have added now text in Chinese to one of those sites and also created 1 news post in Chinese language. Headers of webparts are also now all in Chinese language.
When I now open this site in the Edge browser of a user with 3 languages configered, but none of them Chinese, I still don't get to see the translate option poping up.
Edge browser has the option enabled: "Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language I read".

However, I think I found a workable solution.
When you right click the page you're on, you will get the option "Translate to ... " (English in my case). When you use it the site gets translated.
I'll go on and see if that works for all sites.
If someone has a better solution, please let me know.

AnetaKotucha It should work for all site. Right click > Translate to English option is available for all sites (even sites with English language).
This option is available on Chrome browser as well.
