To translate a webpage, use built-in browser tools like the Translate icon in the Chrome/Edge address bar or the “Translation Available” button in Safari, which appear automatically on foreign-language sites. Alternatively, right-click any page and select “Translate to [Language]” or paste the URL into Google Translate. You can also use AI like ChatGPT or Claude.ai to translate articles.
