Microsoft Translator (Built-in)

Created to educate Edge users to use native translate functionality

The Microsoft Translator built into the latest Microsoft Edge browser allows seamless translation of foreign language web pages directly within the browser, eliminating the need for additional extensions. The Translate icon appears in the address bar when visiting pages written in languages outside your Preferred languages list, which you can customize in Edge settings.

Users can also translate pages effortlessly via a right-click context menu option. Soon, Edge will support translating selected text rather than the entire page, enhancing translation flexibility. For feedback or feature requests, users are encouraged to use the browser's feedback tools accessible through the toolbar or settings menu.
