How to translate a web page on Mac
Many have wondered and continue to wonder today whether it is possible to translate a web page entirely on a mac, using a browser such as Safari. Well, among the most varied ways to be able to better understand the text of a web page, there is one quite simple and practical that will allow you to fully translate the content of a web page without downloading absolutely no application and no program who knows how heavy and difficult to understand.
In this guide, we will explain step by step how to do it.
Select and install the extension
The very first step is to go to the site dedicated to the extensions of the Safari browser (https://safari-extensions.apple.com/) and select the desired translation extension. We recommend the extension Translate, downloadable through this link: https://safari-extensions.apple.com/details/?id=com.sidetree.Translate-S64NDGV2C5. Safari will automatically install the extension, even if the progress of the procedure will not be visible.
Configure the extension
Another important step to be able to make the most of the extension and, above all, to be able to use it is to configure it. First, you need to use the comma CMD + FN to access the Safari favorites panel and select the extensions tab. This screen will be divided into two parts: on the left, there will be the list of extensions, while on the right the information of the selected extension will be available. Once you reach this page, you can configure the extension.
Contextual menuinclude translate this page – this part will be used to activate the translation using the contextual menu; translate page viagoogle translate – doing so will allow google to translate the page open in: in this part, you must enter where you want the translation to be displayed (for example: example if you want it to be displayed in a new tab or not) allow traslation secure page.
To this entry should remove the check, doing so allow the plugin to perform the translation in http and not in https. If you do not deselect the item, the translation will not take place.
Now the two most important parts of the extension : ttranslate to: Here you have to select the language in which you want to translate the text translate from: Here you have to enter the language to be translated. If you decide to leave ” Detect language “, google will automatically analyze the text and automatically select the language from which to translate. The configuration is finished. Now you can close the preferences menu by pressing CMD+W.
How to use the extension
Once the configuration is finished, we will be able to use our translation extension. Just go to a web page and translate it by simply clicking on the ” translate ” button on the left of the Safari address field. Another way to translate a web page is to use the mouse: just click on the right mouse button and select ” translate ” from the menu.
