Translation

Yandex Browser automatically detects the language of the loaded page. If it differs from the interface language, the browser asks if you want to translate it. You can also open the translation window by clicking the icon in the right half of the SmartBox.

• To translate the page text to the browser interface language, click the Translate button in the window. To display the page text in the original language, click Show original in the window.

• If you want to translate a page into another language, choose the language manually by clicking Translate page into a different language in the window.

If you do not want the browser to offer to translate pages:

1. Click  → Settings.
2. Click Tools.
3. In the Translate section, clear the box labeled Offer to translate pages that aren't in the same language as the interface.

Yandex Browser can translate separate words or sentences on a page into your language. To see the translation of a word or phrase, select it on the page.

1. Click  → Settings.
2. Click Tools.
3. In the Translate section, clear the Translate selected words and phrases and Translate a word by pointing the cursor at it and pushing the Shift key options.

The translator is enabled by default in the browser. Make sure that you have not turned off the translator manually:

1. Click  → Settings.
2. At the bottom of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings.
3. In the Translate section, the Offer to translate pages that aren't in the same language as the interface and Translate selected words and phrases options should be selected.

It's also possible that the page isn't translated because you chose not to translate it when viewing it previously. In this case:

1. Right-click on the page.
