Artificial intelligence features are being introduced on every possible platform. Microsoft is in fact no exception, as their AI assistant, Copilot, runs on OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform (in which the corporate is a major investor). Currently, the corporate continues to work on the AI video translation feature for Microsoft Edge. It’s not available yet, but you could find it in the event you know where to look.
Twitter user Leopeva64 followed development of Microsoft’s AI translation capabilities from October. It began with a easy “Translate” button that did not actually do anything, but Leopeva64 has since rolled out UI updates to this feature over the course of several months. In March, Leopeva64 reported that the function will have the opportunity to generate each audio and subtitles for translation. Four days ago, Leopeva64 announced that the video translation feature will be powered by artificial intelligence (previously, the feature only showed “Preview” information). Yesterday, user shared that Microsoft has added a toggle to enable or disable video translation:

Once the feature is enabled and the switch is turned on, you need to have the opportunity to translate any compatible video into an available language of your selection and judge whether the result will be an audio or subtitle translation. Leopeva64 tells me that the AI translation remains to be not working in the intervening time, which implies the switch is just a placeholder. However, the incontrovertible fact that Microsoft continues to make changes to this work-in-progress feature, and the choice to implement the switch at this point, leads me to consider that this feature will be made available to testers in the near future.
How to check out AI translation in Edge when it’s ready
If you wish to try to find this switcher for yourself, don’t trouble opening Edge in your Mac or PC. Instead, you have to use the version of Edge that Microsoft uses to check latest features: Edge’s canary. According to Leopevy64, Microsoft flipped the turn on Edge Canary users on Monday, but again, I do not see it in my Canary version as of this writing. I imagine Microsoft is slowly rolling this out to testers, so keep checking in the event you don’t see it too.
To check this, open Edge Canary after which go to Settings > Languages. Under Translation section, you need to find it Offer to translate videos on support sites [Preview]. Press the switch whether it is off. Once the feature goes live, each time you watch a video in Edge Canary, you need to see a latest pop-up option next to Picture-in-Picture and Enhance. Select your goal language, then the language you wish to translate into, and the feature should handle the remaining.
