Add a Secondary Language in Microsoft Edge

This post shows students and new users steps to a secondary language using the Microsoft Edge web browser.

When you typically read and write in a particular language, you can add your preferred Language to Edge and make it your default or switch between multiple languages when needed.

Adding a language in Edge is pretty straightforward. However, not everyone is comfortable doing it. We’ll show you how to do that below. When a secondary language is added, Edge won’t prompt you to translate when you visit a web page written in that Language. It will display in its native version.

This should work on all Edge browsers installed on any operating system, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Edge, Chrome, and other browsers automatically prompt you to translate web pages written in a different language from the default chosen in your browser. In some cases, this will not work. In that case, you can manually choose the secondary language preference to translate.

To start with additional secondary Language in Edge, follow the steps below.

How to add secondary Language on Microsoft Edge Browser

To change or add a second language on the Edge web browser, click on the three dots (ellipse) at the right side of the Edge browser and click on Settings.

On the Edge Settings page, click Language on the left menu, then click the Add Languages button on the right pane area to add a language.

When the pop-up window opens, search for the Language you wish to add or scroll down the list and select the Language (s) you want to add.

Once the Language is added, it should appear on the list of languages added to Edge.

Once you’re done, relaunch Edge to apply the new changes. Afterward, the next time you visit a web page in one of the languages selected above, Edge will display its native version without prompting to translate.

That should do it!
