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.

Webpage Translation in Safari on Mac

Safari analyzes each webpage you visit to determine its language. This determination is made entirely on your device. If the webpage can be translated to any of your preferred languages, you can choose to translate it. If you translate, Safari will send the webpage’s contents (including the full text) to Apple’s servers for translation. After the translation is complete, Apple will discard the contents of the webpage.

Note: The availability of translations and the number of languages that can be translated may vary by country or region.

If the webpage was not viewed in Private Browsing mode, then Safari will also send the webpage’s address to Apple. Apple will store the address for up to 5 years to improve Apple’s products, services, and technologies. Since Apple does not store the contents of webpages you translate, only publicly accessible webpages will be used to improve Apple’s products, services, and technologies.

Webpage contents and addresses sent to Apple aren’t associated with your Apple ID, email address, or other data Apple may have from your use of other Apple services.

In order to provide you with a better browsing experience, after translating a particular webpage, other webpages in the same domain that you visit within the same tab may also be translated. Safari will stop automatically translating when you visit a webpage that is no longer in the same original language, or a webpage on a different domain.

How To Translate Web Pages In Safari

keyboard with blue key reading Translate

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 in Safari to Another Language Using Apple's New Translation Tool

Since iOS 8, it's been possible to use third-party tools such as Bing Translator and Microsoft Translator to translate foreign language webpages in Safari into your primary language. Now, in iOS 14 , there's a better way to do it.

Before, third-party translation services would create Safari extensions, which made it possible to convert languages on pretty much any foreign language website. For example, after installing the service's main app and enabling its Safari extension, if you came across a webpage written in Spanish, you could open the Share sheet, tap the service's extension in the list of actions, then see the text turn into English.

More Info: How to Translate Webpages in Safari Using Third-Party Tools

Fast forward about six years, and Apple now has its own translation tool for Safari. It's much easier to access and manage, and it doesn't rely on extensions in the Share sheet. You can still use third-party extensions to translate foreign text if you want, and that may be necessary if Apple doesn't support your primary language.

Apple's "Translate" service, which has its own iOS app for off-Safari translations, is very new, so the number of supported language pairs is small. Those include any combination of English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. Plus, the feature is only available in the U.S. and Canada right now. As the translation feature improves, more languages and support countries will be added, and the number of compatible webpages will increase. But for now, it's good enough if you use any of the mentioned languages.

1. Translating a Webpage in Safari

There are a few ways you can translate text on a webpage in Safari from one language to another. Option 1 uses the Safari website menu, while Option 2 uses Safari's translate icon, which only appears for a second.

Option 1: Via Safari's Website Menu

In Safari, visit a webpage you want to translate, then tap on the "AA" button in the Smart Search bar to reveal a menu that includes tools such as Reader View , Request Desktop Website , and Website Settings . New to iOS 14 is "Translate."

Depending on the context, you may see different options appear on the menu. For example, we'll use English as the primary language.

Translate to English: This appears if the webpage you're on is in a language that's included as a secondary one in your Settings app. Also, you'll see this if you don't have any secondary languages chosen at all in Settings.
Translate Website: This appears if the webpage you're on is in a language that's not in either your primary or secondary languages set on your iPhone in Settings. It does not apply if you don't have any secondary languages chosen at all in Settings.
Translate to [OtherLanguage]: This appears if the webpage you're on is in your primary language. It could say Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese. Whichever supported secondary language in Settings immediately follows English in the preferred order will appear. (You can reorder them, but more on that later.) This label does not apply if you don't have any secondary languages chosen at all in Settings.
Nothing: If you don't see any translate option, you're on an English language website, and you don't have any secondary languages chosen at all in Settings.

If you get the "Translate Website" option and tap that, an action sheet will appear at the bottom. In it, you'll see your primary language and any secondary languages (if you have any installed) in your preferred list in Settings. Since iOS 14 isn't ready for prime time yet, the languages it shows may be a little buggy.

Option 2: Via Safari's Translate Icon

When you land on a webpage that's in any of the supported languages other than your primary one, the address bar will quickly say "Translation Available" with a translate icon to the left where the "AA" button normally resides. It only appears for a second after the page fully loads, but if you're quick enough, you can tap that button.

If you have multiple supported languages in Settings, when you tap the translate button, the action sheet will appear where you can choose the language to convert to. If you don't have any other supported languages beyond your primary one, it will just convert it to the primary one.

Continuing with the Translation

Once you tap on a translate option, no matter which option above you used, you'll see get a pop-up asking if you want to enable translation — if this is your first time using the feature.

According to Apple, "the address and contents of this webpage will be sent to Apple to process the translation," but it also mentions that the content is not stored or retained by Apple. If you tap on "Learn More," you can read more about the feature and how it works. Tap on "Enable Translation" from the pop-up or from the Webpage Translation details screen to translate the webpage to the other language.

After enabling translation the initial time, from then on, you can simply use Option 1 or Option 2 above to translate without the pop-up appearing anymore. Whenever you're viewing a translation, the "AA" button will stay as the translate button to let you know it has been translated.

The more you use the feature, the better it will work in Safari. If you tend to translate webpages on a particular website, you may see them automatically translate in the future so that you don't have to do it manually.

2. Viewing the Original Langauge Again

To translate an already translated webpage back to its original language, simply tap on the translate button in the Smart Search field, then tap on "View Original."

3. Adding More Preferred Languages to Translate To

If the "Translate Website" option appears, you can choose from one or several language options, but only if they're added as a preferred language. To add secondary languages, tap on the "Translate Website" option, and select "Preferred Languages." Alternatively, you can go to Settings –> General –> Language & Region.

Next, you'll see all of your preferred languages, if you have any set. Tap "Add Language" at the end of the Preferred Language Order list. If you don't have that section, tap "Other Languages" at the top.

Next, choose one of the supported languages. When you do, iOS will ask you if you want to change your main language to the new one or keep the current language but add the new language as a preferred one. Tap on "Keep English," and your phone will quickly restart to save the change.

Once your device boots back up, you'll see the newly added language in the list of your preferred languages. You can then reorder the languages into your preferred order, and that order will be how it shows up in Safari. Go back to Safari, and when you tap "Translate Website," the action sheet should have your other languages listed.

Just updated your iPhone? You'll find new emoji, enhanced security, podcast transcripts, Apple Cash virtual numbers, and other useful features. There are even new additions hidden within Safari. Find out what's new and changed on your iPhone with the iOS 17.4 update.

Under the Languages section, select Add Language, then choose the language you want to translate from the list of available languages. Once you’ve added the language, tap Translate and make sure that Translate is set to On. Now whnever you copy text on your iPhone, you can slide your finger over Paste and translate ? [Language] and then let go to instantly translate it.

In conclusion, automatically translating a webpage on iOS 14 and later is now much easier thanks to Safari’s webpage Translation feature. All you need to do is enable the Microsoft Translator in the browser settings, and Safari will detect any foreign webpages you visit and offer to translate them automatically. To turn translation off, simply go to your Chrome settings and toggle the “Offer to translate pages that aren’t in a language you read” setting. With this feature, it’s easier than ever to quickly access information from websites all around the world.

Description.

Translate for Safari is a wonderful extension, just a click away, ready to use every time you need to translate entire webpages or just paragraphs. It can also translate text you write in email, forms or documents. Navigate the web and translate the entire page in your preferred language (automatically after page load or manually only when you want to) - that's it. You can also select only paragraphs to translate (with voice read included). You will not loose the visual layout (the page will look the same) or functionality (the page will work the same). So every time you need to read a website, buy online, research a report or some instructions in a language you do not understand, just use this extension and everything will be easier.

Developer Response ,

Dear user, The app is reviewed and tested by Apple, so it is not harmful at all for your browsing experience. Actually, all your Safari extensions (like Evernote, AdBlocker and so on) will have the same description there, this is the standard. You can download other extensions from the App Store and you will see that the same label will appear. Back to my app: the extension can access your webpage just to be able to make it’s job/features, but the extension is not collecting any information, is not accessing any information from your browser, it’s not monitoring anything or sending data over the Internet in any way. It's very safe. The only reason the label is there is because the extension must access your loaded webpage in order to change it. Also, it's reviewed and tested by Apple in order to enter the App Store and they do not allow apps or extensions that collect information about you. You can also review the privacy terms from here (the In a Nutshell section is enough): https://alexdenk.eu/privacy-safari-extensions.html So keep using the extension with confidence.

The app is fast-ish (not always) and reliable. BUT and it's a big but...it WILL translate the original text as well if you are trying to see what a word means. For exaple, lets say you translate a paragraph and you're reading it and want to know what the original word was so you highligh and select to see it (that is a feature of the app). It will show the current translated word and the original but ONLY translated so you will see the same word twice (for example, cocinar----cocinar). It will appear exactly like this and this haappens when the app is set to auto. There is no way to undo this.

Works well!

The full page translator website google offers (but makes increasingly hard to find) sometimes doesn't load the images on a page, and it's not ideal to have to find that website every time. I'm a safari user because it's the browser with the lowest impact on my system, and this integrates well.
