How to Enable or Disable Live Video Translation in Edge

Live video translation in Edge attempts to translate spoken audio or on-screen captions for videos in real time, so you can read subtitles in your preferred language while playing a video on a website such as YouTube. Now it shows a small pop-up menu or tool-tip containing the new audio translation icon.

Note:

• It is possible to enable or disable this real-time video translation if you have the latest Edge version.

• Before getting started, your device must meet the system requirements, i.e., at least 12 GB of RAM and at least a 4-core CPU.

• Not all websites are supported. You can try it on YouTube.

• If the audio doesn’t have loud background music, the translation will be pretty accurate.
