Translate a webpage. Know where your text goes.
All four browsers below offer built-in translation for supported webpages. Tap or click your browser to see how it works and whether translation happens on your device or on a provider's servers.
Translation is controlled by your browser, not by Connect. Chrome, Edge and Safari generally use online translation services for webpages; Firefox processes its built-in translations on the device. Using cloud translation on a webpage containing private messages can transmit page text to the browser provider. No browser preference is collected here.

Apple's instructions · Safari privacy detailsWhat about translating Connect messages?
Connect's optional message-translation control is separate from your browser's built-in full-page translator. It is offered only if the browser supports the required on-device Translator API and language pair. Otherwise, no Connect translation request is made.
Do not assume a browser's Translate webpage command stays local. Check the processing location above before translating sensitive text.
