Safari and Siri have offered translation features previously, but macOS Monterey added a system-wide translation feature. Here’s how to use it.
With it, you can translate text by right-clicking it and selecting Translate. You can then copy the result, change the language, or replace the selected text with the translation.
System-wide translation uses Apple’s own translation service (also used in iOS and iPadOS). It’s pretty good, but don’t expect perfect results. Even Apple notes that on-device translation isn’t as effective as online translation.
