Chrome browser’s ability to translate pages is a handy feature if you spend a lot of time browsing international websites or articles.

  1. Launch the Chrome app for Android.
  2. Access any webpage that you want to translate.
  3. Tap on the More vertical 3-dots icon options and select Translate… from the list.

This way, your accessed web page will automatically translate to the selected language.

Google Translate currently supports multiple local and international languages; all options are available under the More Languages menu.

If you’ve chosen the auto-translate option, the next time you visit a foreign language website, Chrome will automatically translate and display the text.

Bottom Line

Chrome can translate many foreign and native languages into readable text formats. If you visit any foreign language website like Chinese or Japanese, consider using the translate feature.

Please note that the translation feature only works on text, not graphical images or videos. You can use any OCR app for translating text within any image file.

Similarly, you can enable the auto-translate on Chrome computers just like we did for smartphones.
