Discussion: Edge displays in an unexpected language
Hey Insiders, thanks for your continued feedback to help us improve Microsoft Edge! Recently we have noticed a trend in feedback stating that Edge is displaying in an unexpected language. Receiving this feedback is helpful in highlighting the importance of Edge meeting your global readiness expectations. Global readiness can be difficult to get right with users speaking several languages, living in other countries, and wanting to see web content from other parts of the world. Edge tries to manage this with the 'Preferred' languages' list in Edge Settings (edge://settings/languages). The order of the languages signals to webpages what languages (or locales) you prefer. While this is a standard web practice, not all sites respects this signal from web browsers and sometimes use your IP address to determine the best language and regional content to display to you. For Edge on Windows,84 of the preferred languagescan be selected as the Edge display language which determines the language and regional formatting of the Edge user interface. For Edge on Mac, the same 84 display languages can be set based on the operating system display language.Note, changing the Edge display language will put that language at the top of your preferred language list in Edge, but you can always re-order and add more languages to the list. Now for the problem at hand, we’d like to get additional context on how Edge can better meet your global readiness expectations. What aspect(s) of Edge are displaying in an unexpected language? Edge user interface (menus, toolbars, settings, developer tools, etc.) displays in an unexpected language The New Tab Page, which shows news and weather, displays content in/ an unexpected language or region Websites you browse are appearing in an unexpected language, and Edge doesn't offer to translate the page Other - The Microsoft Edge Team43KViews7likes32CommentsDiscussion - Getting back to websites important to you
Hi, Thank you all for the insightful discussion about your use cases of the Legacy Microsoft Edge's Tab Set Aside feature and confirmation prompt when closing a browser window. In that thread, some of you have mentioned how seamlessly Collections could work with the Legacy Microsoft Edge's Tab Set Aside feature while others see these features as having distinct use cases. We continue to explore how we can improve existing features and their integration with one another to help you pick up where you left off with your browsing. To get a better understanding of your scenarios, Ihave a few questions I'd like to ask: How many groups of tabs did you have set aside in the Legacy Microsoft Edge? How long did you typically keep these groups of set aside tabs? Are you aware of or have you used the Recently closed tabs experience which is accessible in the More menu (…) and in the full page History experience (Edge 83 Canary/Dev/Beta)? Recently closed tabs automatically saves your 25 most recently closed tabs and browser windows with their tab history for 2 browser sessions. When you restore a recently closed tab or browser window, it is removed from Recently closed. You can use the Ctrl (CMD on macOS) + Shift + T shortcut to quickly restore closed tabs or browser windows. What do you think about the Recently closed tabs experience? Do you use the "Continue where you left" setting (edge://settings/onStartup) which automatically restores the tabs from your last active browser window on browser restart? Why or why not? How do your use cases differ amongst Tab Set Aside, Collections, and Recently closed tabs? Regarding some of your specific feedback: The tabs you set aside in the Legacy Microsoft Edge were migrated to the "Other favorites" folder during the first run experience. Collections created using the "Add all tabs to a new Collection" are named using a date-time formate.g. Month Day, Year. Thanks, Kofi from the Edge Localization, Collections, and History teams6.8KViews9likes21Comments
