Reasons why "Translate to Japanese" no longer appears when right-clicking and how to fix it

The reason why the right-click "Translate to Japanese" option no longer appears is because the Microsoft Edge version has been updated to "129.0.2792.52 (Official Build)".

However, this issue only occurs in some environments, not all.

Microsoft Edge has an option in the language settings called "Suggest translating pages in languages ​​I can't read."

In versions prior to "129.0.2792.52 (Official Build)", "Translate to Japanese" was displayed in the right-click menu even if the above item was OFF.

However, after updating to "129.0.2792.52 (Official Build)", it is unclear whether the specifications have changed, but "Translate to Japanese" no longer appears unless it is turned ON.

This issue may be a design error on Microsoft's part, so it may be fixed in the future.

If you are already experiencing this issue, you can change the language settings using the following steps to make it display correctly.

1. Enter the following URL in the address bar of Microsoft Edge and press Enter:

edge://settings/languages
Microsoft Edge address bar
Microsoft Edge address bar

2. The language settings screen will appear. Click the toggle (on/off button) to the right of "Suggest translations for pages in languages ​​I can't read" to turn it ON (blue).

The settings are now complete, so you can close the language settings screen.

The settings will be reflected immediately and "Translate to Japanese" will appear in the right-click menu.
