How to Translate Webpages in Quetta on Android and iPhone
Learn to translate webpages in Quetta on Android and iPhone. Set a target language, plus use Android translation services, bilingual view, and site auto-translation.
To translate a webpage in Quetta, tap the three-dot menu on the right of the address bar, then choose Translate to [language]. On Android, the translation settings also let you select a service, use bilingual view with Google or Microsoft, and enable automatic translation for the current site. On iPhone, use the simpler translation and target-language controls.
These are Quetta Browser’s mobile translation controls. You do not need to install Quetta’s separate desktop translation extension to follow this guide.
Which translation controls should you look for?
Control | Quetta on Android | Quetta on iPhone |
|---|---|---|
Translate from the address-bar menu | Translate to the selected language | Translate to the selected language |
Choose a target language | Available through translation settings | Available in the translation flow |
Choose Built-in, Google, or Microsoft | Covered in the Android steps below | Use the simpler iPhone flow below |
Bilingual view with Google or Microsoft | Covered below | Use the simpler iPhone flow below |
Auto-translate this site | Covered below | Use the simpler iPhone flow below |
The additional settings in this guide apply to Android. Use the iPhone steps for iOS rather than looking for the same set of Android controls.
Translate a webpage on Android
Open the webpage in Quetta.
Tap the three-dot menu on the right of the address bar.
Choose Translate to [language] to translate the page into the language shown.
If you need another destination language, open Settings beside the translation option and select the language you want.
Check a short section of the result before continuing through a long article. Make sure the destination language is correct and that important names or numbers still make sense.
Choose a translation service on Android
Open the settings beside Translate to choose Built-in, Google, or Microsoft as the translation service.
The service choice and target language are separate settings: the service identifies the translation option you use, while the language determines what you want to read. Check both when the result is not what you expected.
The name Built-in does not, by itself, tell you whether translation runs offline or where text is processed. Do not use the service label alone to make assumptions about its data handling.
Read the original and translation together on Android
To use bilingual view:
Open Quetta’s translation settings for the page.
Choose Google or Microsoft as the translation service.
Select Bilingual view.
Translate the page into your chosen language and compare the original text with the translation.
Bilingual view is useful when you want help understanding a paragraph while keeping its original wording in sight. For example, you can compare an unfamiliar technical expression instead of relying only on its translated form.
Seeing both versions can make comparison easier; it does not guarantee that the translation is correct.
Automatically translate a site on Android
In the translation settings for the website, choose your target language and enable Auto-translate this site. When you return to that site, Quetta can translate it automatically using the saved site preference.
This is a site-specific choice. Do not treat it as a promise to translate every website or every page written in the same language. Use it for sites you regularly read after checking that the chosen language suits your needs.
Translate a webpage on iPhone
Open the webpage in Quetta on your iPhone.
Tap the three-dot menu on the right of the address bar.
Choose the Translate option.
Select the language you want to translate the page into.
The iPhone flow focuses on translation and target-language selection. The service-selection, bilingual-view, and site auto-translation steps above describe Android; do not use them as iOS instructions.
If the translation is not what you expected
First, check the target language. On Android, also check the service selected and whether you intended to enable bilingual view or a saved site preference.
Try a short, ordinary webpage before repeating the action on a complex page. If you report a problem, include your Quetta version, Android or iOS version, page address, language pair, and the point where the workflow differs from these steps. Avoid sharing private page content in a public report.
Machine translation is a reading aid. Compare the original when a name, instruction, or other important detail needs to be exact.

Frequently asked questions
Can Quetta show the original text and translation together?
On Android, choose Google or Microsoft in the translation settings and select bilingual view. Follow the iPhone section for the simpler iOS workflow.
Is automatic site translation the same as changing the target language?
No. The target language controls what language you read. Auto-translate this site controls whether Quetta on Android applies translation automatically when you return to that website.
What if I am using Chrome or Safari instead?
Follow our guide to translating a webpage in Chrome or Safari on your phone for the controls in those browsers.
What if I need translation in a desktop browser?
The separate Quetta Translation Extension for desktop browsers is the relevant product to review. Its installation and settings are separate from Quetta Browser’s built-in mobile translation.
