How to translate a web page on iphone with microsoft translator.

If you're running iOS 14 or later, Safari now comes with a translation feature baked into the browser, making it easier than ever to translate a web page on iPhone and iPad.

Once enabled, text is translated in-line on the webpage that you're viewing. It's a handy tool if you want to read websites that are written in different languages, and it's available right in the address bar in Safari.

With this in mind, here's how you can translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to translate a web page on iPhone in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

In iOS 15 and later, the ability to translate a web page's language to your native language is now a built-in part of Safari. As such, you no longer need a third-party app to translate. Here's how to use built-in language translation in Safari in iOS 14, iOS 15, and later.

• Tap the action button on the left side of the address bar while visiting a site that you need to translate. The button looks like two A's next to each other.
• Tap Translate to [Your Device Language] .

• Tap Enable Translation if prompted.

Your page will then be translated into the primary language that you've set on your device. If you want to revert back to the page's original language, take the following steps.

• Tap the translate button in the Safari address bar. It takes the place of the standard action button on the left side of the address bar.
• Tap View Original .

The page will revert to its original language.

If you're running a version of iOS 13 or earlier on your device, then a third-party app with a translation extension is what you'll want to use. Microsoft's Translator extension is an excellent tool for the task, as it translates the web page in place when activated.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator is a great third-party solution for translating web pages, and its translations take place in-line on the web, rather than taking you to another, translated version of the page like some other apps.

Once you've got it downloaded, you can set up the action extension for translation web pages.

• Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
• While viewing a web page, tap the share button .
• Scroll to the left on the bottom row of icons.

• Tap the More button.
• Turn the switch next to Microsoft Translator to the green 'on' position.

Now that you have the app installed, you can use it in Safari from the share menu.

• Head to the web page that you want to translate.

• Tap the share button at the bottom of the display.
• Tap the Microsoft Translator button. The extension will then translate the entire page for you.

Have you landed on a webpage in a foreign language when browsing Safari but can’t read it? Though many translation tools are available, Safari also offers a built-in translation feature to understand web pages in different languages. So, you don’t need to install any third-party tools or extensions. Let’s learn how to translate a webpage in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to translate a webpage in Safari on iPhone and iPad

Safari supports translation to Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Just check for the “Translation Available” popup in the address bar to ensure the website offers translation. Now, follow the steps below to translate web pages in Safari on iOS:

• Open Safari → Go to the webpage you want to translate.
• Tap the AA icon located in the address bar.
• Select Translate to [language] .

How to add preferred languages to Safari webpage translation on iPhone

By default, Safari will only translate into your device’s default language. However, you can add other supported languages rather than your device’s default one.

• Launch  Settings → Go to  General.

• Tap  Add Language  and choose a Safari-supported language .

• Go to the desired website and tap the AA icon on the address bar.

Why is my translate button missing in Safari on iPhone?

Are you using iOS 13? If yes, you don’t have the built-in translation feature. Therefore, you must install third-party language translators like Microsoft Translator or Translator Safari extension. Now, use these Safari extensions on your iPhone and translate any web page to your preferred language.  

If you use iOS 17, the translation option may be missing because your device language is set to the same language as the webpage you want to translate. Besides, the website may be incompatible with Safari’s translation tool or not support your preferred language.

If you still see the translate button missing on Safari, you can clear your cache and browsing history or reset your iPhone . Alternatively, use a Safari translator extension and enjoy content in your native language.

How to use translator extensions in Safari on iPhone

There are multiple Safari extensions to accomplish the same. Here, I have used Microsoft Translator to illustrate the below method.

• Download Microsoft Translator .
• Go to  Safari  and open any  website you’d like to translate.
• Tap the  Share icon.

If you do not see the  ‘Translator’  option in the Share Sheet, tap  Edit Actions , locate, and tap the  green plus icon  for Translator. Also, toggle on Translator . Finally, tap  Done . Now, you will see the option to translate in the Share Sheet.

To add other languages to the Microsoft Translator extension, follow the steps below:

• Open the  Microsoft Translator app  → Tap the  settings icon  at the bottom right.
• Now, tap  Safari Translation Language  → Select your preferred languages .

So, that’s all for today, folks!

Thanks to the embedded translation feature, you can now easily translate a webpage in Safari without leaving the website. You can also  use Google Lens on your Mac  to translate text from images. What’s your preferred language to consume content? Let me know in the comments below.

How To Translate Web Pages In Safari

The international nature of the internet is one of the best things about it. You can visit web pages and find information from countries all across the world, but this also means it's likely you'll stumble across sites that are written in different languages. It can be a major hassle to translate web pages using third-party software or other means, especially if you don't visit websites outside of your native language very often. 

Fortunately, many modern web browsers possess the ability to translate web pages natively, so you can still read the content in your preferred language. Apple has included a translation feature in its Safari browser, so you can easily translate pages on Mac, as well as the iPhone and iPad. This article covers the translation process on each respective Apple device, as well as how to navigate any hurdles you may encounter.

How to translate web pages in Safari on Mac

To translate a web page in Safari on Mac computers, you need to be using Monterey 12 or Big Sur 11.0 . Also, the page needs to be compatible with the translation feature. Here's how to find out whether you can translate the web page in Safari and how to do it (via Apple ).

1. If Safari can translate the web page, you'll see the "Translate" icon appear in the Smart Search bar at the top of the browser. 

2. Click on the "Translate" button.

3. Select the preferred language you want the page translated into.

4. If prompted, select "Enable Translation."

5. To change it back, select the Translate icon again and click on "View Original."

If you don't see the language you want to translate the page into, try this:

Go to Apple menu > System Preferences.

Select "Language & Region."

Select "General."

Click on "Add" to add a language to your list of preferred languages.

After you add a language, go back to the web page and look at the Translate list again to see if your preferred language has appeared.

How to translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad

The ability to translate web pages is available on devices running iOS 14 or later. You'll also need to be on a web page that is compatible with this feature. Here's how to translate pages in Safari on iPhone or iPad devices with iOS 14 or newer.

If the web page can be translated, you'll see the "Translate" icon flash for a second in the search/address bar at the top.

2. To translate the page, tap on the website options icon, which looks like the letter "A."

3. Tap on "Translate to [Preferred language]."

4. Tap "Enable Translation" if it appears.

5. The page will be translated. To go back to the original language, tap on the website options icon and select "View Original."

If the language offered isn't what you want the web page translated into, you'll have to change your preferred language order in your iPhone settings. Here's how:

Go to the Settings app.

Go to "General" > "Language & Region."

3. Under "Preferred Language Order," either move a language to the top or select "Add Language," choose one, and set it as your top preferred language.

4. Your iPhone will restart to make the change.

Be careful when making this change, as it will change supported apps and websites to your first preferred language.

How to translate web pages in Safari on older versions of iOS

You're not out of luck if you're an iPhone owner using an earlier iOS version than 14. You can also easily translate Safari web pages with the workaround of using an app, such as Microsoft Translator. This app comes with a Safari extension as well, making it a great choice for translation. Here's how to use Microsoft Translator on a Safari webpage (via Microsoft ).

1. On Safari, go to the web page you need translated. 

2. Select the text you want to be translated by tapping and holding it, and then moving the selection bars on the text. 

3. Now tap on the "Share" button that appears in black above the text or the icon at the bottom middle of the Safari menu. 

4. Scroll down and tap on the "Translate" button, which appears if you have Microsoft Translator downloaded. 

5. Choose the source language and the target language to get your translation. 

6. Tap "Done" to close the translator.

This can also be good to use on websites that normally don't provide the translation option, even in iOS 14 or above. 

Can Safari automatically translate web pages?

When you first visit a web page on Safari in a foreign language, it will detect if it can be translated to a different language based on what you have set in your Preferred Languages settings. From there, you'll need to choose to translate it using the instructions above. However, you won't need to do this for every page on the site. Safari will also translate pages on the same domain you originally translated from. 

If you go to a website of a different language or visit a different domain, Safari will then end the automatic translation. Also, if you close the site and then come back to it, it will no longer be translated (via Apple ). So, you'll need to choose to translate web pages yourself every time you visit a website in a foreign language. From there, though, pages within the same domain will be translated automatically.

How to translate webpages on Mac, iPhone and iPad

If you are planning a holiday, working with colleagues or clients in different countries, or if you are just wanting to research something that happens to be in a different language, then you may be wondering if it is possible to translate a webpage into English or another language so you can read them.

The really good news is that this will soon become a simple process as Apple’s iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur will include a new feature that will make translations easier than ever.

How Translations will work in iOS 14 & macOS Big Sur

Once iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur arrive this autumn it will be possible to translate an entire webpage from or to the following languages: English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese. The new webpage translation feature will initially be in Beta, even once the operating systems are out of beta.

To find out how to use Siri and the new Apple Translate app on the iPhone read: How to translate text and speech on iPhone.

How Safari Translations will work in iOS 14

• This will bring up some additional options compared to iOS 13, including a new Translate to English option (This will default to your device’s language).
• Tap Enable Translation if required.
• If you want to return to the original, tap on Translate (which will have replaced the aA button).
• Tap View Original.

Read more about the features in iOS 14 here.

How Safari Translations will work in macOS Big Sur

Apple hasn’t revealed exactly how the Translation feature will work in Safari on the Mac as yet. However, we expect that it will be performed in a similar fashion to the iPhone and iPad.

How to translate webpages now

Right now there are a few options if you want to translate webpages on the iPhone, iPad or Mac. These include using the Microsoft Translator app, Google Chrome on iPhone, iPad and Mac, or using the Google Translate website. We’ll cover each below.

Using Microsoft Translator

One way to easily translate webpages is to use the free Microsoft Translator app on your iPhone or iPad. There is no Microsoft Translator app for the Mac.

Here’s how to use Microsoft Translator app:

• Download the Microsoft Translator app here.
• Open the webpage you want to translate in Safari and tap on the Share button at the bottom.

Using Google Chrome on iOS

You can also use Chrome to automatically translate webpages.

Chrome for iOS includes a built-in translator.

• Download the Google Chrome app for iOS here (it’s free)
• Open Chrome on your iPhone or iPad.
• Go to the page you want to translate.

• Tap on English (assuming that’s your default language).
• The page will translate into your language. If you want to see the original then just tap on the other language shown.

Sometimes we found that the translation option wasn’t immediately visible, this may be due to a delay while the translation takes place or it may just need to be triggered by scrolling around on the page a bit.

Using Google Chrome on a Mac

You can also translate webpages using Chrome on the Mac.

• Open Chrome on your Mac. (You can download it here )

• You will see two language options: your own language and the one the page is written in. Choose your language.

Using Google Translate on a Mac

If you would rather not use Chrome, you can just use the Google Translate webpage to translate entire webpages.

• Go to the Google Translate webpage.

• Now choose the language you wish to translate it into.

Once you are viewing the page in the translated language any links you click on within the page will be automatically translated for you. This is particularly useful if you want to translate entire websites.

Another language related feature coming in iOS 14 is the new Translate app. You can learn how to use that here: How to use Apple Translate .

There is so much valuable content available on the internet which remains inaccessible to most people due to language barriers.

On average, a normal person knows one or two languages at most, but websites, blogs, and articles are written in several languages that most people don’t understand. To break this barrier, Google Chrome introduced the translate feature that translates any foreign webpage to your native language automatically.

But sadly there’s no such feature available for Safari.

Moreover, in iOS devices, it’s not even possible to change your default browser without jailbreaking it (which we don’t recommend). There is no official way to translate a webpage on Safari, but don’t worry we have found some workarounds which will definitely work for you on your iOS device.

How to translate a page in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Learn how to use Apple’s built-in translation tool to translate web pages in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac if you come across a website that’s in a language you can’t read or understand.

Supported devices and languages

You can use Apple’s native web page translation feature inside Safari on an iPhone, iPad, and Mac running iOS 14, iPadOS 14, or macOS Big Sur and later to translate into the following languages :

• Chinese (Simplified)
• Chinese (Traditional)
• Portuguese (Brazil)

This method requires no third-party app download or Siri shortcut installation.

How to translate a web page in Safari

On iphone or ipad.

• Visit the website you want to translate in Safari.
• Tap AA from the address bar and choose Translate to English or a language you see there.
• The first time you do this, Apple will ask your permission to process your request. Tap Enable Translation .

• View the website in Safari.
• Click the translate icon , and choose Translate to English or a language visible here.
• Click Enable Translation if this is the first time you’re using this service.

Using Apple’s web page translation

• Automatic translation: After translating one web page on a website, if you tap another link on that same site (domain) in the same original language, Safari should automatically translate it to your chosen language so you don’t have to follow the translation steps again and again while reading that website.
• View Original: After you follow the above steps, you can tap the AA button on iOS or the translate icon on Mac and choose View Original to get back to the original language of that web page.
• Inform Apple of issues: If you think the translation provided by Apple in Safari is incorrect, inappropriate, or broken, use the Report Translation Issue button, pick an appropriate reason, and hit Report to submit your feedback.

Add more language to Safari translation

Apple says that “ the availability of translations and the number of languages that can be translated may vary by country or region .”

With that in mind, you can have more options for Safari translation by adding that language to your system’s language settings.

Go to Settings > General > Language & Region > Add Language and select a language . Now, you can choose to set this new language as your primary system language for all menus, settings, and everything. However, if you only need to use it for translation, tap Use English (or your current system language). This will add the new language to your iPhone but still keep English as the primary system language.

Now go to Safari, and it should automatically refresh your open web pages. After that, follow the above steps, and you will see Translate Website instead of Translate to English. Tap Translate Website and pick a language .

Click the translate icon in the Safari address bar and choose Preferred Languages . You can also reach this setting screen by going to System Settings > General > Language & Region . Now, click the plus button (+) under the Preferred Languages heading, choose your language, and click Add . Like the iPhone, you can use the new language as your system language or continue to use English. After this, if you’re prompted to add this new language to your Mac’s keyboard, you can hit Cancel .

Next, visit Safari, and you should see the option to Translate to the newly added language .

Restart your device if you don’t see the language for translation in Safari even after adding it by following the above steps.

Although Safari is a feature-rich browser and contains many essential features, one important functionality that is still missing is the automatic translation of web pages. Other browsers, such as Google Chrome, allow you to translate web pages on the spot, but you’d be surprised to know that Safari has had this capability for a long time.

Apple allows third-party developers to create extensions for Safari which integrate with the browser. In the same way, you can install a third-party app that offers an extension for translating web pages. One such app is Microsoft Translator .

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to translate webpages in Safari on iPhone or iPad using the Microsoft Translator app.

Step 1: Download and install Microsoft Translator from the App Store.

Step 2: Open Safari and tap on the share sheet icon in the bottom menu bar.

Step 3:  Scroll to the end of the activities row and tap on the More button.

Step 4: A list of available extensions is displayed. Find Microsoft Translator in the list and toggle it on. You can also reposition its place by tapping and holding the grabber next to the toggle and moving it to the top of the list. Once you’re finished, tap on the Done button in the top right corner.

Step 5: Now you’ll see the Microsoft Translator extension in the activities row.   When you’re on a web page which you wish to translate, tap on the share sheet icon and then select Microsoft Translator from the activities row. Within a few seconds, the entire web page will be translated to your preferred language.

How to Choose Your Preferred Language for Translation

Microsoft Translator automatically detects your preferred language based on your device’s language settings. However it is possible to change it via the app’s settings.

• Open Microsoft Translator app and then tap on the settings icon in the bottom right corner.
• Tap on Safari Translation Language.
• Now choose your preferred language.

This is how you can translate webpages in Safari on iPhone or iPad. Using this method, you no longer have to depend on third-party web browsers such as Google Chrome. You can take advantage of the translation extension offered by third-party apps to quickly translate webpages in Safari.

Troubleshooting, how to translate webpages in safari on iphone & ipad with microsoft translator.

As you may already know, Google Chrome offers the ability to translate webpages on iPhone and iPad from one language to another, helping you convert webpages from something like Spanish or Chinese to English (and of course any other combination of languages). While the iPhone and iPad gain this feature natively with Safari in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, earlier versions of Safari do not support language translation by default. Not to worry though, because with Microsoft Translator you can give Safari the capability of converting webpages from one language to another.

Obviously not everything on the web is written in English, so rather than get stalled out of your browsing by language barriers, using a conversion tool to switch the language is really handy. Thankfully, Microsoft’s Translator app adds an option for translating web pages to iOS Share Sheet, which can be used within Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How-To Geek

How to translate web pages in safari on mac.

Have you landed on a French or Spanish website? Translate it to English with the press of a button!

Often find yourself on websites with text in a foreign language? If you use Safari, there's no need to go to Google Translate. You can translate web pages between seven languages right in Safari on a Mac.

Starting with Safari 14.0, Apple included a translation feature directly in the browser. As of this writing, the feature is in beta, but fully functional. If your Mac is running the latest version of macOS Mojave, Catalina,  Big Sur , or newer, you can access the translation feature.

The translation functionality works between the following languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

By default, you can translate any of the above languages to English. You can also add more languages to the mix (we'll talk more about that below).

To get started, open a web page in one of the supported languages. Safari will automatically recognize that language, and you'll see "Translation Available" in the URL bar, along with a Translation button; click it.

If this is the first time you've used the feature, a pop-up will appear. Click "Enable Translation" to turn on the feature.

In the translation menu, select "Translate to English."

The text on the page will instantly convert to English, as shown in the image below. The Translation button will also turn blue.

To disable the Translation feature and return to the original language, click the Translation button again, and then select "View Original."

As we mentioned above, you can also translate to languages other than English. To do so, click the Translation button, and then select "Preferred Languages."

This opens the "Language & Region" menu in System Preferences. Here, click the plus sign (+) to add a new preferred language. You can add multiple languages here while continuing to use English as the default language across your Mac.

In the pop-up, select the languages you want to add, and then click "Add."

System Preferences will ask if you want to make this your default language. Choose the previous default language if you want it to remain the status quo.

Now that you've added a new preferred language, you'll see the translation button even when you visit web pages that are in English.

The translation process for a preferred language is the same: click the Translation button in the URL bar, and then select "Translate to [the language you selected]."

Again, you can view the original at any time by simply clicking "View Original" in the Translation menu.

If you're traveling to a new country, you can also use the built-in Translate app on your iPhone or iPad to quickly translate speech between multiple languages.

How to Enable Automatic Website Translation in Your Web Browser

Learn how to enable automatic translation in popular web browsers and understand the importance of professional translation services when it comes to accuracy, cultural relevance, and seo optimization..

Emily Sorrentino

May 24, 2024

The need for multilingual content accessibility for websites has grown significantly as use of the internet has become commonplace around the world. For users looking to translate web content without incurring costs, web browser translation solutions offer a practical and effective option. These built-in features or extensions allow users to translate content directly within their browsers. However, while these solutions are convenient and cost-free, they are not always the best choice for every situation. For business-critical content, professional translation services are often necessary to ensure accuracy and cultural relevance in website translation.  

This blog post explains how to enable website translation directly in your web browser and why this often results in subpar translation quality and user experience.

Understanding Web Browser Translation

Web browser translation tools allow users to translate web content directly within their browser. These tools are often built-in features or available as extensions, making them easily accessible and user-friendly. Popular web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari offer these translation capabilities.  

How Can I Enable Google Chrome Translation?

Google Chrome provides an integrated translation feature powered by Google Translate. Here’s how to enable and use it:  

• Open Google Chrome and navigate to a web page in a foreign language.  
• Chrome will automatically prompt you to translate the page. Click “Translate” in the pop-up banner.  
• To customize language preferences, click on the three-dot menu icon, go to “Settings,” then “Languages,” and select “Language settings.”  
• From here, you can add preferred languages and enable automatic translation for specific languages.  

Pros : Free, quick, easy to use. Cons : Potential inaccuracies limited cultural context.  

How Can I Enable Mozilla Firefox Translation?

Firefox users can access translation tools through add-ons and extensions. Popular options include “To Google Translate” and “Translate Web Pages.” Here’s how to get started:  

• Open Firefox and visit the Add-ons Manager by clicking on the menu icon and selecting “Add-ons.”  
• Search for translation extensions like “To Google Translate” or “Translate Web Pages” and click “Add to Firefox” to install.  
• Once installed, use the extension to translate web pages by clicking the extension icon and selecting the translation option.  

Pros : Customizable, supports multiple languages. Cons : Requires installation, may need configuration.  

How Can I Enable Microsoft Edge Translation?

Microsoft Edge features built-in translation through Microsoft Translator. Here’s how to enable it:  

• Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to a web page in a foreign language.  
• Edge will prompt you to translate the page. Click “Translate” in the prompt.  
• To manage language preferences, click on the three-dot menu icon, go to “Settings,” then “Languages,” and configure your preferred languages.  

Pros : Seamless integration, easy to use. Cons : Limited to Edge browser.  

How Can I Enable Apple Safari Translation?

Safari offers translation capabilities on macOS and iOS devices. Follow these steps to enable automatic translation:  

• Open Safari and navigate to a foreign language web page.  
• Click the translation icon in the address bar, then select “Translate to [Your Language].”  
• Manage language settings through “Preferences” and add preferred languages as needed.  

Pros : Easy to use on Apple devices. Cons : Limited language support, available only on newer versions of Safari.  

Limitations and When to Seek Professional Help  

While web browser translation tools are convenient and cost-effective, they have limitations in terms of accuracy and cultural relevance. The translations produced by these tools often lack the depth and precision required for business-critical content. For instance, automated translations can:  

• Misinterpret Nuances : Automated tools may fail to capture the subtleties and nuances of the original language, leading to translations that sound unnatural or are culturally inappropriate.  
• Introduce Errors : Complex technical terms, industry-specific jargon, and idiomatic expressions can be mistranslated, resulting in potentially misleading or incorrect information.  
• Fail SEO : Translations may not be optimized for search engines, impacting the website’s visibility and performance in global search results.  
• Cultural Insensitivity : Automated tools do not account for cultural sensitivities, which can lead to translations that are offensive or fail to resonate with the target audience.  

For businesses and critical content, professional translation services are recommended. MotionPoint can enhance web translation efforts with high-quality, culturally adapted translations that ensure your message resonates with diverse audiences. MotionPoint offers several benefits over web browser translation tools:  

• Adaptive Translation : Leverage advanced AI and machine learning technologies to provide fast, scalable translations that maintain high quality and adapt to your evolving content needs.  
• Human Expertise : Professional linguists ensure translations are accurate and culturally appropriate, maintaining the integrity of your brand’s voice.  
• Consistent Quality : Rigorous quality assurance processes guarantee consistency and accuracy across all translated content.  
• SEO Optimization : Translations are optimized for search engines, improving your site’s visibility and ranking in international markets.  
• Cultural Relevance : Translations are adapted to fit local cultural norms and expectations, enhancing user engagement and trust.  
• Comprehensive Support : End-to-end translation management, from project initiation to final implementation, ensures a seamless experience.  

Conclusion  

Web browser translation tools provide a free and practical solution for accessing multilingual content. By leveraging these tools, users can easily translate web pages and enhance their browsing experience. However, for businesses seeking higher accuracy and cultural relevance, professional translation services like MotionPoint offer superior quality and reliability. MotionPoint’s solutions ensure that your content is not only accurately translated but also culturally adapted and optimized for global reach.  

Contact MotionPoint for professional translation and localization services to ensure your content is accurately translated and culturally relevant.

iPad   YSK: iPad 11” vs 13” Safari Desktop Class Browsing Differences

Owning both newer IPP models, if you keep both iPads in their standard ’default’ display as opposed to the ‘more space’ setting they act very different even if you have Safari desktop mode enabled for all websites. For example, YouTube on the 13” will display the entire side column but on the 11” you need to have the more space setting in enabled to get this. Additionally, on the 11” in default mode some websites will still suggest you download the app presumably because it doesn’t know how to translate your display resolution as mobile or desktop. Sadly some folks may find the more space option on the 11” too small so if you want true desktop web browsing then you’ll need the 13” or use the more space feature on the 11”. Hope this helps.

Real-time video translation comes to Microsoft Edge

Following up on the massive Copilot+ announcements from yesterday, Microsoft’s AI toolset keeps getting bigger and bigger. As part of its annual Microsoft Build develop conference, Microsoft has announced an update to Edge that grants it the power to translate videos to different languages in real time.

Microsoft affirms that the upcoming AI feature will translate videos on the browser to multiple languages using subtitles and/or dubbing in real time. Microsoft has not said if the option will be set by default or where the user can go to turn this feature on or off, but it could be somewhere in Settings .

To begin, the sites where the feature will be available are Reuters, YouTube, Bloomberg, CNBC News, Coursera, and more. We’ll have to wait and see what other sites fall into the “more” category and if other video platforms, such as Dailymotion or Vimeo, are added to the list.

The list of available languages for the new feature would’ve been better if it had been longer. Still, for now, Microsoft says that the confirmed options are English to Hindi, German, Russian, Italian, and Spanish — and, of course, Spanish to English. So far, several languages, such as Portuguese, Arabic, French, Korean, Japanese, and more, are missing from the list, but hopefully they will be added soon.

Plans exist to add more languages to the list as the feature begins its rollout. Whether this is a feature that can run on the neural processing units (NPUs) in the new Copilot+ PCs is unclear, though the feature appears to be available for all PCs.

Editors' Recommendations

• Microsoft is adding a controversial app to Windows 11
• Microsoft finally kills this legacy Windows app — for good this time
• This secret Microsoft Edge feature changed the way I work
• OpenAI and Microsoft sued by NY Times for copyright infringement
• Microsoft Bing and Edge are getting a big DALL-E 3 upgrade

We’re just a week away from Microsoft’s upcoming Surface event, yet a plethora of renders and information have just leaked out, spilling the beans on a new Surface Laptop Studio 2, updates to the Surface Laptop Go 3, and an all-new Surface Go 4.

According to the German website WinFuture (via OnMSFT), this information was gleaned from third-party retailers who have already been provided with official data from Microsoft. It’s a slip-up Microsoft would rather have avoided so close to launch day.

Microsoft makes it easy to change the default browser in Windows 11. That's important if you require special features specific to one of the many web browsers that are available on a PC. Unfortunately, it's not as simple to be rid of Edge entirely.

Microsoft Edge will still load to open some other file types. When opening a link from Windows Settings or other system components, the webpage will load in Edge. That's now about to change, however, according to a recent Windows blog post.

Microsoft has announced a host of updates that will soon be available for its Edge browser, including the Microsoft 365 Copilot feature and Sidebar app support for developers.

The company is showcasing the new features during its annual Build developer conference, which is currently taking place from May 23 through May 25.
