Microsoft Edge can do a lot of things: from its Bing Chat AI to the built-in Photo app, and the PDF reader, the browser is quite versatile, and fast. Unfortunately, much to Microsoft’s dismay, Edge is still not the popular choice, when it comes to Internet browsers.

However, despite this, Microsoft keeps on improving it with really useful features. Take, for example, the new Translate button that the Redmond-based tech giant added to its PDF reader toolbar. Spotted by Windows enthusiast, @Leopeva64, this new button might be used to translate entire documents at once.

If this turns out to be true, then it will be quite a useful feature, as you won’t have to select the text to translate it, as you currently have to do in Edge’s PDF reader.microsoft edge translate button

For now, the feature is only on Edge Canary, meaning the users enlisted in the Edge Insider program will be able to see it and test it. However, you should know that the feature is still experimental and it hasn’t reached its final stage yet.
