Use Microsoft Translator in Microsoft Edge browser
The new Microsoft Edge supports translation for more than 60 languages. The browser will automatically prompt you to translate a webpage when when the page you're opening is in a language other than those listed under your preferred languages in settings.
1. Open a webpage in Microsoft Edge. The browser automatically detects the language of the page and a menu appears asking you to confirm that you want to translate the page.
2. Do any of the following:
-
In the Translate to list, choose the language you want to translate the page to. The default is the language you've set for Microsoft Edge.
-
To translate the page, click Translate.
-
To always automatically translate from the source language, select the Always translate from [Language] check box.
-
To skip translation, in the list on the lower right, select Not now to skip translation or Never translate [Language] to never have the panel appear when you go to a page using that language.
-
3. On side of the address bar, you'll briefly see the status showing that the page has been translated.
