Using Google Chrome’s built-in translation:

1. Open the website you want to translate into Google Chrome.
2. If Chrome detects the page is in a different language than your browser’s default, a translation prompt will usually appear in the address bar. Click “Translate.”
3. Alternatively, you can right-click anywhere on the page and select “Translate to [Your Language]” or click the Google Translate icon in the address bar.
   
4. To change the target language, click the three dots in the translation pop-up and click translate.

Using the Google Translate browser extension:

• Install the Google Translate extension from the Chrome Web Store (or the extension store of your browser if available) https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb
• Once installed, you can click the extension icon to translate the current page or highlight specific text to translate

Translate via Microsoft Edge

There are two ways to translate text using Microsoft Edge

1. Translate pages automatically.
   1. In Microsoft Edge, navigate to the Dementia UK webpage you want to translate.
   2. Once you’re on the webpage, your browser may detect that it’s in a different language from your default settings and ask if you’d like to translate it—for example, if your browser is set to English and you visit a Spanish website. A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to choose the language you want the webpage to be translated into.
      
   3. After choosing the language, select Translate. Inside the Address bar, you’ll see a status showing that the page has been translated. This means that the entire webpage was translated into your chosen language so you can understand the content seamlessly.
   4. If you want your browser to always translate from the source language without asking, select More > Always translate [Language].
   5. If you want to skip the translation, select More > Not now. You can also choose to never translate a chosen language by navigating to More > Never translate [Language].
2. Translate selected text using the context menu*.
   *A context menu is the small menu that appears when you right-click on something—like text, an image, or a link—on your computer screen.
   1. If you don’t need to translate the whole page, you can translate just a section of text:
   2. Highlight the text you want to translate on the webpage.
   3. Right-click on the selected text.
   4. Choose “Translate to [Your Language]” from the context menu.
      
   5. A pop-up will show the translated text.
      This is useful when only a portion of the page is in a different language, or when you’re only interested in certain sections.
