Microsoft’s Copilot tool, driven by AI, is steadily becoming a key application within the company’s services, including Windows and the Edge browser. Recently, I’ve been trying out the “Circle to Copilot” feature on iOS devices, which has been quite promising.
But Microsoft hasn’t overlooked Android phones either. They’re integrating a translation function directly into the Edge browser, enhancing its utility. This ongoing expansion of features is making Copilot increasingly comprehensive and versatile. Let’s delve into the specifics.
Microsoft Edge receives a translation feature through Copilot
Copilot has swiftly become one of Microsoft’s standout tools, thanks to its AI-powered capabilities and seamless integration with its services. But Microsoft isn’t resting on its laurels; to compete head-on with other options in the market, they’ve been continuously enhancing and expanding Copilot’s features.
Recently, it’s been unveiled that one of Copilot’s most popular features in its web version is gradually making its way to Edge for Android mobiles. This is a significant improvement that further enhances the user experience.
This feature integrates a dedicated translation button into Copilot, allowing it to translate the responses you receive directly into your system’s configured language. This can be incredibly useful when interacting with the AI to request information.

While this functionality wasn’t new and was already available in the Copilot mobile app, its integration into the web version of the Edge browser is a noteworthy addition. Moreover, there are indications that this feature will soon be available to a select group of Copilot users on the desktop version of Edge. It seems Microsoft is testing this functionality before rolling it out to everyone.
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that Microsoft previously increased the character limits for Copilot in the Edge browser. The “Balanced” mode now has a limit of 4,000 characters, while the “Creative” and “Precise” approaches, though taking a bit longer to process, have seen their limits raised to 8,000 characters.
