Please add an option to translate only on demand
Current translator user experience is very cumbersome, every time you open a page on a foreign language, edge pop-up translator panel with four options: translate now/ not now, always / never translate on this language. I guess I am not the only one who knows a few languages on some level and need assistance with certain areas, not for the entire page. Sadly but I see there is no option for this and every time I get the irritating translator menu. Also, I don't understand, how the context menu translator works. I guess it proposes to translate the page to English by default but when you set in the language menu "offer to translate pages on this language" to English - you get an option to translate on your browser's language.A New Chapter for Realtime AI: Reasoning, Translation, and Real-Time Transcription
Voice can be one of the most direct and productive interfaces for AI — enabling customer support agents that may resolve issues without a single keystroke, live multilingual communication that can take on language barriers as conversations happen, and voice assistants capable of reasoning through complex requests in real time. Developers building these experiences need models that can keep pace with increasingly demanding latency, accuracy, and language coverage requirements. Today, OpenAI’s GPT-realtime-translate, GPT‑realtime‑2 and, GPT-realtime-whisper are rolling out into Microsoft Foundry starting today — together representing a significant step forward for the realtime model lineup available to developers on the platform. GPT-realtime-translate and GPT-realtime-whisper GPT-realtime-translate and GPT-realtime-whisper together extend the realtime stack for live multilingual audio workflows. GPT-realtime-translate is built for continuous, real-time translation, producing translated output as speech unfolds without relying on segmented pipeline processing, while GPT-realtime-whisper provides low-latency streaming transcription of the original audio in parallel. Used together, they help developers support scenarios such as live events, cross-language customer experiences, captions, monitoring, and archival workflows that require both translated output and visibility into the source speech. Continuous stream processing: This new model translates live audio without segmenting or buffering allowing for more natural interactions. New translation and transcription capabilities: Translate between languages in real time and observe faster text to speech. Available via the Realtime API GPT-realtime-2 GPT‑realtime‑2 is a generational upgrade to OpenAI's speech-to-speech model, bringing internal reasoning and an expanded context window to real-time voice applications. Where previous speech to speech models responded immediately, GPT‑realtime‑2 can work through a problem before speaking — making it well suited for voice applications that need to handle complex, multi-step queries entirely in the audio layer without routing to a separate text pipeline. Native reasoning capability: The newest realtime model introduces stronger reasoning capabilities. Now the model thinks internally before responding. Adjustable reasoning effort via {reasoning.effort}: Explicitly request the level of reasoning the model uses -- minimal, low, medium, high – to save on cost and latency. Audio in, audio out: No need for an intermediary text step, conversation stays fluid and natural. Available via the Realtime API This models is coming soon to Microsoft Foundry. Since, May 6, the models have been rolling out into the model catalog. We are excited for you to explore and build with our evolving collection of frontier models. Use cases These models work independently, but they're designed to complement each other in real-world pipelines: Live multilingual events. GPT-realtime-translate enables real-time translation of live audio, producing translated speech along with a transcript in the target language. GPT‑realtime‑whisper can be used in parallel to capture a transcription of the original speech for captions, monitoring, or archival purposes. Together, they enable multilingual live streaming with both translated experiences and visibility into the source language. Global customer support. Route inbound calls through GPT-realtime-translate to translate conversations in real time and provide a translated transcript for agents. Use GPT‑realtime‑whisper alongside it to capture the original conversation as text for compliance, quality review, or analytics. Then pass the interaction to an agent built with GPT‑realtime‑2 using {reasoning.effort}: high for complex issue resolution, all within a continuous audio pipeline. International voice assistants. Build once and deploy across languages. GPT-realtime-translate enables multilingual interaction and provides translated output with a target-language transcript, while GPT‑realtime‑whisper can optionally capture the original user input as text. GPT‑realtime‑2 manages reasoning and conversational context, supporting more complex voice interactions.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Live Interpreter –a breakthrough new capability in Azure Speech Translation – that makes real-time, multilingual communication effortless. Live Interpreter continuously identifies the language being spoken without requiring you to set an input language and delivers low latency speech-to-speech translation in a natural voice that preserves the speaker’s style and tone.
Add an option in the Edge search bar for mobile to force the translation of web pages as in Pc Edge.
Currently on Edge for Android and iOS does not always let me translate web pages. There should be the option in the search bar as in the Pc version or some other area to be able to force the translation of a web page.
