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.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to use translate webpages in safari for mac.

Ever ended up on a webpage in a different language and wished you could translate it instantly? With the latest versions of Safari for Mac, you can use a native translation feature to convert a webpage from a foreign language to your native tongue. This is fantastic for many obvious reasons, particularly if you want to read international news from an original source rather than a regurgitated spin version from a US outlet.

Safari’s built-in language translation feature is for modern versions of Safari and macOS, so as long as you’re running Safari 14 or newer in macOS Big Sur or newer, you’ll be good to go. If you’re on an earlier version of MacOS, then you may find use in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, which also have native language translation features available, or you could use an iPhone or iPad if they’re running modern system software, as Safari for iOS and iPadOS have the translation capability too.

Want to try out the new translation feature to translate webpages in Safari on the Mac? Then read on!

How to Translate Webpage Language in Safari for Mac

There you go. Now you’ve learned how to take advantage of the new built-in translator in Safari on your Mac.

Current supported languages for translation are English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

If you’re unable to find the native translator in Safari and you’re running Safari 14 or later on macOS 11 or later, it’s probably because you’re living in an unsupported region or trying to use an unsupported language. This new feature is currently limited to users living in the United States, UK, and Canada, but will expand as time goes on. If you’re too impatient to wait, you can change your Mac’s region to either of these countries and then access the translator.

Do you use an iPhone or iPad as your primary mobile device? If you’ve updated your device to iOS 14/iPadOS 14 or later, you will be pleased to know that you can translate webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad in a similar manner as detailed here .

I live in the Netherlands. Using iMac 10.15.7, Safari 14.0.3. I did not get the translate icon. In iMac preferences, in Language and Region I changed Country to US and in UK, after restart neither produced a translate icon. I tried iPhone 11, iOS 14.4.2, tried Safari using same website, No translation icon….

What is wrong?

Translate is available for English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. The Mac must be running macOS 11 or newer to have this capability.

On the iPhone and iPad, the translate feature is tucked behind the webpage options accessible in the URL bar.

For Mac users running prior versions of MacOS, Chrome offers a similar webpage translation feature.

Conversely, I’m using Safari 14.03 on a Mac in France and I have got the translate icon.

I am using Safari 14.0.3 on MacBook Pro 10.14.6 in the UK and I do not get the translate icon showing when using a foreign language site.

I also have an iPad not showing there either.

The translation feature is only available in macOS Big Sur or later for Mac, and iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or later on iPhone and iPad. There was a typo by the original author which mentioned Safari 14 as the prerequisite rather than macOS 11, that has been fixed.

Hope that helps, sorry about the confusion!

This very necessary link provides an error:

https://osxdaily.com/?p=108867

Please fix and resend an email to subscribers.

I’ve been trying this with 14.0.3 on Catalina, but like Jeff, I do not get the translate icon on a foreign website.

I’ve been trying all afternoon with this tip, safari 14 latest Catalina. No translate icon ever appears; it almost feels like it hasn’t been switched on. Any thoughts?

I am running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacMini with MacOS 10.15.7. It does not have the translate icon. I am also running Safari 14.0.3 on a MacBookPro with MacOS 11..2.1. It has the translate icon. When I first tried to post this reply, the osxdaily.com website reported this to be a duplicate reply.

This is in macOS 11 or newer only, it’s a Big Sur feature not a Safari 14 feature

I am using Safari 14.03 on a Mac running 10.15.7 in the US and I do not get the translate icon when I go to a foreign language site. Could this be a OS 11 only feature?

I have 2 macintosh computers. The first is a MacMini running 10.15.7 with Safari 14.0.3 and it does not have the translate icon. The second is a MacBookPro running 11.2.1 with Safari 14.0.3. It has the translate icon. Both computers were checked using the http://www.lemonde.fr website.

I have the same problem as Jeff, using the same Safari and latest Catalina. Almost feels like translate isn’t switched on.

Any thoughts?

Same here. Catalina with Safari 14.03. Texas is in the US, though some might disagree.

How to Use the Built-In Translator in macOS Big Sur’s Safari

With macOS Big Sur, you can translate entire web pages in Safari. When you encounter a compatible page, just click the translation icon (see in the graphic below) in the address field to translate into English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese in real-time.

Here’s how to translate web pages in Safari:

• In the Safari app on your Mac, go to the webpage you want to translate.
• Move the pointer over the Translate button in the URL file (it looks like toward balloons with an “A” in one) to see if a translation is available. If the webpage can be translated, the Smart Search field displays Translation Available.
• Click the Translate icon, then choose a language.

Preferred Languages

If you want to translate a page into a language other than English, go to the Apple menu and click System Preferences > Language & Region.

You’ll see the default preferred language on the left side of the window. To change it, click the “+” button at the bottom of the screen.

By the way, if the translate icon doesn’t show up, click the View option in the web browser’s menu bar and click Translate .

How to translate a page in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Learn how to use Apple’s built-in translation tool to translate web pages in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac if you come across a website that’s in a language you can’t read or understand.

Supported devices and languages

You can use Apple’s native web page translation feature inside Safari on an iPhone, iPad, and Mac running iOS 14, iPadOS 14, or macOS Big Sur and later to translate into the following languages :

• Chinese (Simplified)
• Chinese (Traditional)
• Portuguese (Brazil)

This method requires no third-party app download or Siri shortcut installation.

How to translate a web page in Safari

On iphone or ipad.

• Visit the website you want to translate in Safari.
• Tap AA from the address bar and choose Translate to English or a language you see there.
• The first time you do this, Apple will ask your permission to process your request. Tap Enable Translation .

• View the website in Safari.
• Click the translate icon , and choose Translate to English or a language visible here.
• Click Enable Translation if this is the first time you’re using this service.

Using Apple’s web page translation

• Automatic translation: After translating one web page on a website, if you tap another link on that same site (domain) in the same original language, Safari should automatically translate it to your chosen language so you don’t have to follow the translation steps again and again while reading that website.
• View Original: After you follow the above steps, you can tap the AA button on iOS or the translate icon on Mac and choose View Original to get back to the original language of that web page.
• Inform Apple of issues: If you think the translation provided by Apple in Safari is incorrect, inappropriate, or broken, use the Report Translation Issue button, pick an appropriate reason, and hit Report to submit your feedback.

Add more language to Safari translation

Apple says that “ the availability of translations and the number of languages that can be translated may vary by country or region .”

With that in mind, you can have more options for Safari translation by adding that language to your system’s language settings.

Go to Settings > General > Language & Region > Add Language and select a language . Now, you can choose to set this new language as your primary system language for all menus, settings, and everything. However, if you only need to use it for translation, tap Use English (or your current system language). This will add the new language to your iPhone but still keep English as the primary system language.

Now go to Safari, and it should automatically refresh your open web pages. After that, follow the above steps, and you will see Translate Website instead of Translate to English. Tap Translate Website and pick a language .

Click the translate icon in the Safari address bar and choose Preferred Languages . You can also reach this setting screen by going to System Settings > General > Language & Region . Now, click the plus button (+) under the Preferred Languages heading, choose your language, and click Add . Like the iPhone, you can use the new language as your system language or continue to use English. After this, if you’re prompted to add this new language to your Mac’s keyboard, you can hit Cancel .

Next, visit Safari, and you should see the option to Translate to the newly added language .

Restart your device if you don’t see the language for translation in Safari even after adding it by following the above steps.

How to translate webpages on Mac, iPhone and iPad

If you are planning a holiday, working with colleagues or clients in different countries, or if you are just wanting to research something that happens to be in a different language, then you may be wondering if it is possible to translate a webpage into English or another language so you can read them.

The really good news is that this will soon become a simple process as Apple’s iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur will include a new feature that will make translations easier than ever.

How Translations will work in iOS 14 & macOS Big Sur

How to translate webpages now

Right now there are a few options if you want to translate webpages on the iPhone, iPad or Mac. These include using the Microsoft Translator app, Google Chrome on iPhone, iPad and Mac, or using the Google Translate website. We’ll cover each below.

Using Microsoft Translator

One way to easily translate webpages is to use the free Microsoft Translator app on your iPhone or iPad. There is no Microsoft Translator app for the Mac.

Here’s how to use Microsoft Translator app:

• Download the Microsoft Translator app here.
• Open the webpage you want to translate in Safari and tap on the Share button at the bottom.

Using Google Chrome on iOS

You can also use Chrome to automatically translate webpages.

Chrome for iOS includes a built-in translator.

• Download the Google Chrome app for iOS here (it’s free)
• Open Chrome on your iPhone or iPad.
• Go to the page you want to translate.

• Tap on English (assuming that’s your default language).
• The page will translate into your language. If you want to see the original then just tap on the other language shown.

Sometimes we found that the translation option wasn’t immediately visible, this may be due to a delay while the translation takes place or it may just need to be triggered by scrolling around on the page a bit.

Using Google Chrome on a Mac

You can also translate webpages using Chrome on the Mac.

• Open Chrome on your Mac. (You can download it here )

• You will see two language options: your own language and the one the page is written in. Choose your language.

Using Google Translate on a Mac

If you would rather not use Chrome, you can just use the Google Translate webpage to translate entire webpages.

• Go to the Google Translate webpage.

• Now choose the language you wish to translate it into.

Once you are viewing the page in the translated language any links you click on within the page will be automatically translated for you. This is particularly useful if you want to translate entire websites.

Another language related feature coming in iOS 14 is the new Translate app. You can learn how to use that here: How to use Apple Translate .

How to translate websites that won't in Apple Safari

Translation in Safari

Apple has had a habit of using the word "magical" for anything new, but in this specific case it's the correct term. If you need, or just want, to read websites in languages you don't understand, Safari is genuinely magical.

Go to a website in Safari and, if its in one of a select few languages, it can all be translated . And all really does mean all.

Rather than translating a sentence here or there, Safari will redraw the page with every bit of text changed into English. More, if you go from that page to another one on the same site, you don't even have to tell Safari you want that translated too.

Until you leave a site, or you tell Safari to switch back to the original language, everything will be translated for you automatically and very quickly.

There is this issue that Safari is limited in how many languages it can do this for, but that will increase over time. What's perhaps more pressing is that you often don't want an entire site translated, you just want to know what this bit says.

Choosing languages to translate

It's a big job adding the facility to translate a given language and it is going to take time for more to be added to Safari. That's a pain if your preferred languages are not yet available, but it's also understandable.

What's less understandable is how hard it can be to determine what languages you can translate. By default, Safari will recognize a number of languages and tell you when a translation is available.

However, Apple says that you may be able to add more by altering your region settings. If you go to System Preferences , choose Language & Region , then click on General , you do get options.

There's a list of your preferred languages, which may well only contain one. But there's a plus sign at the bottom of the list and through that you can add many more.

Except there doesn't appear to be any clear way to determine from the list of available languages, which ones can be translated automatically. Not by Safari, and presumably not by the forthcoming macOS Monterey.

How translation will improve in macOS Monterey

The forthcoming macOS Monterey is going to address this. It will feature Safari's translation technology, but apply it system-wide.

So whatever you're doing on your Mac, including reading the web in browsers other than Safari, macOS Monterey can provide translations. Selecting text anywhere on your Mac and then right-clicking, will bring up a Translate option.

For now, though, you have to select text, copy it, and then take it to another service.

Using online translators

Easily the best-known online translator is Google's and if you do this a lot, translate.google.com is a very familiar address. What you get there looks like an online version of Apple's own iOS Translate app, in that you get two text areas.

Paste or type text into one side, read the translation in the other. Google will determine what the original language is, and will default to showing you the result in English. You can, though, change either side as you need.

Very broadly, though, Google is strong on translating quite short snippets. It's the reason those two text boxes are a little on the small side.

There is also a Documents option in Google Translate, though. Choosing this lets you load an extremely wide range of document types, from Word through PowerPoint, and have them translated.

When you're doing longer documents, though, there are alternative services such as DeepL Translator . It costs from $7 per month for a version with no limits on the length of text it will translate.

But there is also a free one that will translate an unspecified limited number of words. The advantage of DeepL Translator, and other services, is that they tend to be better at longer texts. They tend to be better when you want more than a rough idea of what's being said.

Speeding up how to get to online translators

It's not as if it's a burden to copy and paste some text into Google Translate. Nor is it arduous to drag a Word file onto DeepL Translator.

Nonetheless, both are enough to break your concentration when you're working. And there is a way to at least speed up the job with the third-party app PopClip .

PopClip brings an iOS-style pop-up menu to the Mac. On an iPhone or iPad, once you've selected a word, iOS shows you a black bar with options such as Copy, Cut, and so on.

There's no system equivalent on the Mac, but PopClip provides it. By default, it too shows basic options such as Copy, Cut, Paste and so on. But you can add to it from a growing list of extra tools that you might want quick access to — including translate.

PopClip costs $12.99 on the Mac App Store, and comes with close to 200 free tools called extensions. Add a Google Translate extension to PopClip and now you can select some text, then immediately click on a translate button.

All it really does then is take the selected text, opens a new browser tab and pastes it into Google Translate. That's still taking you away from the text you're reading, and it will do a new tab for every time you select and choose translate.

Plus you'll find you have to select at most a few paragraphs at a time. Depending on whether you're selecting text in a document or a website, there will come a point where the PopClip translate extension disappears because you have too many words.

Using translation in your workflow

There is more that could be done to make translation happen in line, making it happen as you read instead of requiring you to take the text somewhere else. And it looks like that work is being done, that it will be part of macOS Monterey.

In the meantime, the ability to get a quick, possibly quite rough Google translation is deeply convenient. And then getting a more considered translation can bring you more than the surface word-for-word literal translation can.

Alternatively, though, you could put some work in yourself and use Duolingo to learn a language.

How to activate the Microsoft Translator extension in Safari

How to translate a web page on iphone with microsoft translator.

If you're running iOS 14 or later, Safari now comes with a translation feature baked into the browser, making it easier than ever to translate a web page on iPhone and iPad.

Once enabled, text is translated in-line on the webpage that you're viewing. It's a handy tool if you want to read websites that are written in different languages, and it's available right in the address bar in Safari.

With this in mind, here's how you can translate web pages in Safari on iPhone and iPad.

How to translate a web page on iPhone in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

In iOS 15 and later, the ability to translate a web page's language to your native language is now a built-in part of Safari. As such, you no longer need a third-party app to translate. Here's how to use built-in language translation in Safari in iOS 14, iOS 15, and later.

• Tap the action button on the left side of the address bar while visiting a site that you need to translate. The button looks like two A's next to each other.
• Tap Translate to [Your Device Language] .

• Tap Enable Translation if prompted.

Your page will then be translated into the primary language that you've set on your device. If you want to revert back to the page's original language, take the following steps.

• Tap the translate button in the Safari address bar. It takes the place of the standard action button on the left side of the address bar.
• Tap View Original .

The page will revert to its original language.

If you're running a version of iOS 13 or earlier on your device, then a third-party app with a translation extension is what you'll want to use. Microsoft's Translator extension is an excellent tool for the task, as it translates the web page in place when activated.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator is a great third-party solution for translating web pages, and its translations take place in-line on the web, rather than taking you to another, translated version of the page like some other apps.

Once you've got it downloaded, you can set up the action extension for translation web pages.

• Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
• While viewing a web page, tap the share button .
• Scroll to the left on the bottom row of icons.

• Tap the More button.
• Turn the switch next to Microsoft Translator to the green 'on' position.

Now that you have the app installed, you can use it in Safari from the share menu.

• Head to the web page that you want to translate.

• Tap the share button at the bottom of the display.
• Tap the Microsoft Translator button. The extension will then translate the entire page for you.

How To Update Safari On Your Mac: A Step-By-Step Guide

It's no secret that Safari is the go-to browser for many Mac users . Sure, other browsers like Google Chrome have their advantages , especially if you're deep into Google's ecosystem, but using third-party browsers other than Safari on your Mac has downsides. Safari is optimized for macOS and integrates seamlessly with your other Apple devices like your iPhone and iPad by using Handoff.

If you've been a part of the Apple ecosystem for a while now, you're probably aware of Handoff, a very convenient Apple feature that allows you to begin a task on one of your devices, and pick up where you left off on another device.

Safari is no exception — Handoff allows you to start reading or watching something on your iPhone or iPad, and pick up where you left off on your Mac. This not only saves you the time of looking for a webpage but also makes jumping from one task to another extremely simple. Like any application, keeping Safari up to date is extremely important. Not only do new Safari updates come with newer features, but Apple also frequently rolls out updates to address security threats.

Now that you know it is a good idea to install Safari updates whenever they're rolled out, the real question is: How do you update Safari? Strangely enough, if your Apple device is updated to macOS Ventura or later , the only way to update Safari is to update your Mac itself.

How to update macOS

While you can't update Safari without updating macOS, you can check which version of Safari you're currently using. To do so, open the Safari app on your Mac and click on Safari from the menu bar. Now, select About Safari from the dropdown menu. Once you do so, a dialogue box will appear. The version of Safari you're currently using should be mentioned below the "Safari" text.

If you'd like to update Safari, follow the steps below to update macOS:

Click the Apple menu in the menu bar and select System Settings from the dropdown menu.

Select General from the sidebar on the left.

Click Software Update and wait for a few seconds.

Now, if a new update is available, click Update Now next to Updates Available.

If a Safari-specific update is available, you can click More Info and select Safari from the "Updates are available for your Mac" section.

To avoid having to update macOS manually to update Safari, we recommend enabling automatic updates. This way, you won't miss out on new features and can rest easy, knowing that Apple has fixed any known security threats . To do so, click the info icon next to Automatic updates and toggle on the switch next to Download new updates when available, Install macOS updates, and Install Security Responses and system files.

Apple Vision Pro

Apple highlights incredible new enterprise experiences that leverage vision pro at work.

Today, Apple has published a new Newsroom post looking at the benefits of its Vision Pro in the workplace. Last weekend, I published my thoughts on the impact of Apple Vision Pro in the short and long term in the workplace . Apple’s Newsroom post looks at how different companies are creating new enterprise experiences that leverage spatial computing to customize workspaces, collaborate on designs, deliver specialized training, and guide fieldwork in some exciting ways.

“There’s tremendous opportunity for businesses to reimagine what’s possible using Apple Vision Pro at work,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations and Enterprise Marketing. “We’re thrilled to see the innovative ways organizations are already using Apple Vision Pro, from planning fire response operations to iterating on the most intricate details of an engine design — and this is just the beginning. Combined with enterprise-grade capabilities like mobile device management built into visionOS, we believe spatial computing has the potential to revolutionize industries around the world.”

One of the critical things to note is how quickly Apple has added device management support to Vision Pro. visionOS is built on the foundation of decades of engineering in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, so it was a natural fit to work within Apple’s device management APIs from the early days of the device, unlike watchOS, which took several years to gain support for device management.

“Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary device, and we are thrilled to leverage the capabilities of spatial computing with SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Mobile Start,” said Philipp Herzig, chief AI officer, SAP SE. “Going forward, we see the power of visionOS combined with generative AI being a force multiplier for enterprises. SAP Analytics Cloud running on Vision Pro will help our customers discover all-new insights from complex data with powerful and intuitive processes that supercharge their business planning.

SAP has been at the forefront of Apple adoption in the workplace, so it makes sense for their teams to experiment early with how Vision Pro will impact the workplace. Even if you’re not bullish on Vision Pro for personal use, there are a lot of strings for developers to pull for workplace experiences.

“Spatial computing has enabled us to rethink how professionals can be productive and work intelligently with the power of AI,” said Nicole Herskowitz, vice president, Microsoft 365 and Teams. “With Microsoft 365 and Teams on Apple Vision Pro, your office moves with you, allowing users to view apps side by side on an infinite canvas with spatial computing for incredible multitasking and collaboration.” 

Design and manufacturing processes are complex and involve large amounts of data from many sources that struggle to translate to traditional desktops and laptops. NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud APIs enable developers to stream massive 3D engineering and simulation data sets from the cloud to Apple Vision Pro. The high-resolution displays and sensors are built into Vision Pro, allowing developers and designers to create detailed, immersive renderings and visuals that can be viewed and manipulated in real-time. Vision Pro opens up a blank canvas for employees when considering the limited real estate of traditional computing devices. I suspect we’ll continue to see impressive use cases around Vision Pro in design and manufacturing across multiple industries.

“The world’s industries are racing to build digital twins of products, facilities, and processes to better test and optimize designs well before constructing them in the physical world,” said Rev Lebaredian, NVIDIA’s vice president of Omniverse and Simulation Technology. “Enterprises can now combine the power and capabilities of Apple Vision Pro and the physically accurate renderings of OpenUSD content with NVIDIA accelerated computing to power the next generation of immersive digital experiences.”

Apple includes new impressive use cases for Vision Pro in its Newsroom posts from KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lowes, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Porsche, and many more. Check out the entire post to read all about them.
