Browsers and Mail Translate Pages in Microsoft Edge

This tutorial will show you how to translate pages in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The Microsoft Edge web browser included in Windows 11 is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.

If you open a page written in a different language than your preferred languages in settings, Microsoft Edge will automatically prompt you to translate it by default.

The Translate icon appears in the address bar when you go to a web page that’s written in a foreign language. A language is considered foreign to you if it's not included in your Preferred languages list in Settings. You can add and remove languages for your preferred languages list in Microsoft Edge.
