How to translate a webpage in Safari on Mac (Beta)

1. In the Safari app on your Mac, go to the webpage you want to translate.

3. If the webpage can be translated, the Smart Search field displays “Translation Available.”

4. Click the Translate icon, then choose a language.

Alternatively, instead of steps 2-4, you can use Safari > View > Translation > Translate to [desired language]

To return to your primary language, click the Translate icon and choose View Original.
