Language Translation

Translate webpages in Chrome

When you come across a page written in a language you don't understand, you can use Chrome to translate the page.

1. On your computer, open Chrome.

2. Go to a webpage written in another language.

3. At the top, click Translate.

4. Chrome will translate the webpage this one time.

Not working? Try refreshing the webpage. If it’s still not working, right-click anywhere on the page. Then, click Translate to [Language].

 

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.
