Microsoft Translator is seamlessly integrated into the latest Microsoft Edge, providing built-in translation functionality without the need for additional extensions. When you visit a web page in a foreign language, the Translate icon appears automatically in the address bar, allowing effortless translation to your preferred languages.

Users can customize their language preferences in Edge's settings to control which languages appear as foreign. Additionally, translation of pages can be triggered via right-click context menu options. Upcoming features include selective text translation on a page for more granular control. The extension is designed to enhance user experience by making language barriers effortless to overcome while browsing securely and efficiently.

User reviews

The Microsoft Translator (Built-in) Edge add-on receives mixed reviews. Some users praise its translation quality and integration, considering it better than Google’s web page translation. However, many report frequent failures translating certain languages and websites. Users express frustration over the lack of features like translating selected text, inability to manually set source or target languages, and poor visibility or activation options in the browser UI. Several reviews note the add-on does not work consistently, leading to dissatisfaction and switching to alternative browsers for translation needs.
Pros
  • Some users find the translation quality good and appreciate it as a separate program.
  • It is considered faster and better compared to Google web page translation by some users.
  • Some users had positive experiences previously with the add-on on earlier versions or platforms.
  • Supports multiple languages, as indicated by diverse user comments.
  • The add-on is built-in and integrated into the Edge browser, which could be convenient.
Cons
  • Frequently fails to translate certain webpages or languages, including Arabic and others.

  • No way to change or recognize the source language manually, leading to incorrect translations.
  • Does not always show or work visibly in the address bar or toolbar, making it hard to activate.
  • Poor functionality leads users to rely on alternative browsers like Google Chrome for translation.
  • Some users report the add-on not working on certain operating systems (e.g., Windows 7).
  • No control or options to select target languages or activate the translation function.
  • Translation feature is considered useless or broken by multiple users, often completely nonfunctional.
