# Configure Language Packs for Edge Built-in AI Translation

**Microsoft Edge Built-in AI** requires the required language packs to be installed before it can translate content.

## Why Are Language Packs Required?

Microsoft Edge uses **AI models that run directly in your browser** to translate content. Because the translation happens on your device, the language packs for both the **source language** and **target language** must be available in Edge.

For example, if you want to translate content from English to French, you need to have both the **English (**`**en**`**)** and **French (**`**fr**`**)** language packs installed.

## Translation Language Setup

Follow the steps below to set up the required language packs for Edge Built-in AI.

### Step 1: Use a Secure Connection

- First, make sure your website is using a secure **HTTPS** connection. Edge's Translation API may not work correctly on websites using `http://` or on localhost.

- If you are testing on an insecure site, you can add the website to Edge's list of insecure origins treated as secure:

Open the following URL in Microsoft Edge:
`edge://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure`

- Add your website URL to the required field.

- Restart the browser.

### Step 2: Check the Edge AI Setup

You can check the Edge AI translation setup from the plugin dashboard:

- From your WordPress dashboard, go to **WPML > AutoMLP AI > Settings**.

- Find the **Edge AI Configuration** section.

- Test translation using different language pairs.

- Check whether the language pair you want to use is supported.

> **Note:** When you test a language pair, Edge may automatically download the required language packs.

### Step 3: Install the Required Language Packs

If the required language packs are not installed, you can check and install them from Edge's translation settings.

- Open the following URL in Microsoft Edge:
`edge://on-device-translation-internals/`

- Check the available language packs.

- Make sure both the **source language** and **target language** are available. For example, for English-to-French translation, make sure both `en` and fr are available.

- If a language pack is missing, install it from the available options.

- After installing the language packs, **reload or restart Microsoft Edge**.

### Step 4: Add Languages to Edge

After installing the language packs, add the required languages to your Edge language settings.

- Open **Microsoft Edge Settings**.

- Go to **Languages**.

- Click **Add languages**.

- Add the languages you want to use for translation, such as **English** or **French**.

- Reload the page and try the translation again.

Once both language packs are installed and the languages are added to Edge, you can use **AutoMLP** to translate your WPML content with **Microsoft Edge Built-in AI**.
