Translate a page to your native language

Yandex.Browser automatically identifies the language of webpages you load and opens the translation panel for pages in foreign languages:

• If you want to translate the page to Russian, click Translate to Russian.

• If the browser incorrectly detects the language on the page, you can select the correct one by clicking   → Translate from another language → <name of language>.

If you do not want the translation bar to appear for foreign-language pages:

1. Click   → Settings.
2. At the bottom of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings.
