Google Chrome is the trendy and beloved web browser among internet users but sometimes weird experiences might hit you. Right-click menu of a webpage has several options including Back, Forward, Reload, Save as, Print, Cast, Search images with Google, Send to your device, Create QR Code for this page, Translate to English, Open in reading mode, View page source, and Inspect. You might encounter Translate to English not showing in the context menu and address bar in this browser. However, you can restore the Translate to English missing in Google Chrome.
When translating to another language this option is pretty handy. In mobile devices, this feature automatically converts the language of a web page following the Google account information. On desktop and laptop, the browser is likely to detect the language and add a Google Translate icon to address bar accordingly for the same objective. Outdated version of Chrome is the main reason for this annoying issue.

How to fix Translate to English missing in Google Chrome Right click menu:
Update the browser
The main reason which I found for this Chrome Issue is an outdated browser. I encountered this issue in Version Google Chrome version 120.0.6099.110 (Official Build) (64-bit) and when updated the browser to Version 120.0.6099.130 (Official Build) (64-bit) this was fixed. So, first of all, try this by following the steps:
- Click on 3 vertical dots from the top right of the browser and select Help > About Google Chrome.
- Google Chrome will automatically check for updates and show a button Relaunch; click on this.
- A pop will prompt for confirmation; select “Relaunch”.
- The fresh browser version will likely show the Translate to English option.
