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.

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

Assuming your Mac is running a modern version of macOS and Safari, here’s how you can translate webpages:

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 .

We hope you were able to access Safari’s built-in translator and convert foreign webpages to English without any issues. What are your overall thoughts on this addition to Safari? Let us know your experiences, thoughts, and tips in the comments!

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.

Safari makes it simple to translate almost any web page in its entirety. 

Maybe it’s not an entire web page you want to translate but a certain part. It might be a sentence or a paragraph. You can do this using Live Text and then take advantage of the additional options you have.

• Select the text you want to translate by dragging your cursor through it to highlight it.

You can decide the availability of languages when you use Safari’s translation feature . Here’s how.

• At the top of the window, you’ll see  Preferred Languages  listing those you have available for translation.

• You’ll see a message asking if you want to change your primary language to the one you want to add. Choose the option you want, and you’ll then see the new language displayed in your Preferred Languages list.

• When you finish, close the System Settings. You should then see your updated languages available when you select the  Translate  icon in Safari.

If you translate a page and believe the translation may be inaccurate, you can let Apple know. This helps Apple improve translations moving forward.

• You’ll see a message pop-up letting you know that Apple will store and use the web page address contents to improve translations. Pick  Report  to send the information to Apple.

Don’t let language barriers stop you!

With the built-in translation feature in Safari on Mac, you don’t have to use a third-party translator or bypass a potentially great web page because it’s in a different language.

How To Translate Web Pages In Safari

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 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

Once iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur arrive this autumn it will be possible to translate an entire webpage from or to the following languages: English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese. The new webpage translation feature will initially be in Beta, even once the operating systems are out of beta.

To find out how to use Siri and the new Apple Translate app on the iPhone read: How to translate text and speech on iPhone.

How Safari Translations will work in iOS 14

• This will bring up some additional options compared to iOS 13, including a new Translate to English option (This will default to your device’s language).
• Tap Enable Translation if required.
• If you want to return to the original, tap on Translate (which will have replaced the aA button).
• Tap View Original.

Read more about the features in iOS 14 here.

How Safari Translations will work in macOS Big Sur

Apple hasn’t revealed exactly how the Translation feature will work in Safari on the Mac as yet. However, we expect that it will be performed in a similar fashion to the iPhone and iPad.

Read more about the new features in macOS Big Sur here .

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 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.

Ratings and Reviews

Doesnt work on some chinese shopping sites.

Doesnt work on Taobao.com. Get an error about security. FYI

Developer Response ,

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. The extension supports in-place site translation or selected text translation - but on some websites, the security model does not allow then to be changed/translated. But a vast majority of websites do not have this limitation. You can also send me an email to [email protected] and I will gladly provide you with more details. Regards.

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.

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.

• While viewing a web page, tap the share button .
• Scroll to the left on the bottom row of icons.

If the page can be Translated, Safari should offer the Translate option in the address bar, next to the refresh icon.

Available Translation Languages will depend on what Keyboards you have added in System Settings ➜ Keyboard ➜ Input Sources.

• Why Safari cannot translate a web page while in reader's view Hi, Got something weird, here. I'm on Mac OS Ventura, latest release. On Safari I cannot translate a page while I'm in reader's view. Why? I should be able to translate a page whenever I'm in normal view or reader's view! Shouldn't I? Apple guys; a little update here?, pleeeeease? Thank's 665 2
• Safari translator It is not clear t me whether the translator is supposed to translate any page or whether the page should somehow support translation by the translator. For example, I would like to read https://nos.nl in English, but when I enter the site, I do not see the translator icon showing up. Am I going wrong, or does the translator have no good coverage of web pages it can translate? 505 6

Web Page Translation in Safari on Mac

Safari analyses each web page you visit to determine its language. This determination is made entirely on your device. If the web page can be translated to any of your preferred languages, you can choose to translate it. If you translate, Safari sends the webpage’s contents (including the full text) to Apple’s servers for translation. After the translation is complete, Apple discards 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 also sends the webpage’s address to Apple. Apple stores 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 are used to improve Apple’s products, services and technologies.

Web page 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 web page, other web pages in the same domain that you visit within the same tab may also be translated. Safari stops automatically translating when you visit a webpage that is no longer in the same original language or a webpage on a different domain.
