Microsoft Edge, which is based on Chromium, is quite different from the original; therefore, some things might not be easy to find. For example, if you were looking to change the language, you would probably be left wondering how to do it.
Luckily, we will discuss changing the language in the new Microsoft Edge, so keep reading because you’ll learn something today. Now, the reason for wanting to change the language for your browser could boil down to too many things, and it’s not our concern to question your motives. However, we will say the option is to translate web pages automatically if you wish.
We assume such a feature could be useful if you’re in another country that isn’t a native speaker of your language, and you would love to browse the local websites with much fuss.
To change the Language in the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser, you must enter the Settings area, where you will find all the settings.
