Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Enables the integrated Microsoft translation service on Microsoft Edge. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge offers to translate a webpage by showing an integrated translate flyout when the language detected on a webpage isn't listed under preferred languages. A translate option is available on the right-click context menu. Users can also translate selected text on a webpage via the right-click context menu, or on a PDF via the PDF toolbar and the right-click context menu. If you don't configure this policy, the policy is enabled by default. Users can choose whether to use the translation functionality or not. You can disable this policy to disable all built-in translate features.

Enabled: TranslateEnabled = 1
Disabled: TranslateEnabled = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
