This post shows students and new users steps to a secondary language when using Google Chrome web browser. When you typically read and write in a particular language, you can add your preferred language to Chrome and make it your default or switch between multiple languages when needed.
To add a language in Chrome is pretty straightforward and easy. However, not everyone is comfortable doing it. We’ll show you how to do that below. When a secondary language is added, Chrome won’t prompt you to translate when you visit a web page written in that language. It will display in its native version.
This should work on all Chrome browser installed on any operating systems, including Windows, MacOS and Linux systems.
Chrome, Edge and other browsers automatically prompts to translate web pages written in different language from your default chosen in your browser. In some cases, this will not work. In that case, you can manually choose the secondary language preference to translate.
To get started with addition secondary language in Chrome, follow the steps below.
