Chrome translate option missing on desktop: check language settings

In desktop Chrome on Windows or Mac, right-click the page and choose Translate to your language, or use the translation icon beside the address bar when available. Refresh the page if translation fails. Check another ordinary text page to see whether the problem is limited to one site.

Open Chrome Settings > Languages. Under Google Translate, turn on Use Google Translate and check the target language. If the page’s source language is under Never offer to translate these languages, remove it from that list when you want offers again. Browser menu language and page translation are separate settings.

For an accessible public page, open Google Translate in your browser, select Websites, enter its URL, and choose the source and target languages. Detect language is an option for the source. Website translation is unavailable in some regions; if Websites is absent, this route may not be offered where you are.

In the translated website, use the language tabs or the original-page control to compare wording. Correct the detected source language if it is wrong. Machine translation can change the meaning of instructions: compare the original before acting on an important passage. If both routes fail on one site, use its own language selector or ask the site owner for an available translation.
