The Edge browser uses Bing Translation to convert unknown text into our known language. This option is built-in and doesn’t require the installation of any extension or add-on.
To translate the page content in the Edge app, enable the Microsoft Translator option and choose the desired language for auto-translation of foreign text under the Preferred Language options.
In this guide, I have shared written instruction about:
Enable the Page Translation option

You can visit any foreign language page or site to test the translation feature. It will pop up the Translate Page dialog box and offer to translate the page to your preferred language.

Edge browser automatically detects the device language or region to set a default language. However, you can customize your preferred output language in Microsoft Translator settings. Follow these steps:
