Windows 10: Can you recommend a good free translator App for use with Edge?

I have a free Translator App for Edge on my other laptop but that laptop is currently awaiting repair having effectively been smashed by incorrect advice given by an IA here.


The translator in the Windows Store isn't as good as what I had before.


Can anyone recommend a good free translator App for use with Edge please?

Microsoft Translator on Microsoft Edge

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

1. As you’ve mentioned “if I try to install any usefull app it doesnt work !, what happens when you try to install the app?
   
2. Have you tried installing the apps from different browser?
   
3. If yes, what is the error code/error message you’ve received while trying to download from Edge browser?
   
4. Are you referring to any specific app or is this happening with all the applications?
   
5. Which build version of Windows is installed on the PC?
   

Refer the article ‘Which version of Windows operating system am I running
to provide the details.

I suggest you to refer the article Use Microsoft Translator
in Edge browser on how to use Translator in Edge browser.

I also suggest you to add the Extension in Edge
browser and check the status of the issue.

Cannot install Edge extension Translator

Hi,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with installing Edge extension translator. I will certainly help you with the issue.

I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:

• Open Powershell as admin.
• Type: "Get-AppxPackage *pocket* | Remove-AppxPackage" without the quotes this will unsintall pocket. You can try skipping step 3.
  
• Type: "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}" without the quotes.
  
  this will reinstall all stock apps including the Windows Store
• Now you should be able to install Pocket through the Windows Store.

Note: Replace *pocket* in step 2 with *extensionname* (example: pocket extension).

Hope this information helps.



Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help.
