Microsoft Is Actively Improving Edge Browser's PDF Reader with New Features

TapTechNews September 24th news, the tech media WindowsLatest today (September 24th) posted a blog post, reporting that Microsoft is actively improving the PDF reader in the Edge browser, introducing two experimental new features (just not yet effective).

The source tested the latest MicrosoftEdge browser in the Canary channel and found that two experimental Flags, msPdfLanguageDetection and msFullPdfTranslate, were added.

msPdfLanguageDetection

According to the description of this experimental Flag, this feature can solve the problem of not detecting the language when opening the file for the first time.

The built-in PDF reader of the Edge browser can translate English into other languages, but if it encounters a language that cannot be temporarily recognized, the translation search result may be garbled.

msFullPdfTranslate

The second experimental Flag is msFullPdfTranslate, which can bring a full-page translation function to the browser.

TapTechNews note: When users use the PDF reader, currently a maximum of 3000 characters can be translated at a time. Only within this limit can the function work properly.

The complete PDF translation function will eliminate this limit, so that you no longer have to highlight a paragraph, translate the paragraph and repeat the translation until the last page.
