AI WORLD HQHow to use Le Chat to translate a whole webpage in one click
Turn any webpage into another language instantly without copying text or installing anything — using Mistral’s Le Chat.
Hook: Imagine visiting a news site, product page, or government form written in a language you don’t speak — and with one click, seeing it in your own language. Le Chat from Mistral can do exactly that. No copy-pasting, no installing apps. Just paste the link and read. Perfect for travellers, students, or anyone who wants to understand the web faster.
💡 Tip: tap a step’s number when you finish it — a green tick appears and your browser remembers how far you got.
- A free Mistral account (sign up at mistral.ai — takes 2 minutes)
- A web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari)
- A webpage link you want to translate (any public site)
- Rough time: 3 minutes total
Open Le Chat in your browser
Open your browser and go to https://mistral.ai. Look for a button like “Try Le Chat” or “Chat with Le Chat” in the top-right corner. Tap it. A chat window will open on the right side of the screen. You’ll see a message box at the bottom where you can type.
https://mistral.ai
You'll know it worked when you see the Mistral logo and a blinking cursor ready for your next message.
Paste the webpage link
In the chat box, paste the full URL of the webpage you want to translate. Make sure it starts with https:// or http://. Press Enter or tap the send arrow.

You'll know it worked when you see a preview of the webpage appear in the chat, along with a message like “I’ve fetched the page. How would you like me to translate it?”

Ask Le Chat to translate the page
Type or say:
Translate this entire page into Spanish.
Le Chat will load the page in the background and prepare a full translation. You’ll see a progress indicator like “Processing…” or “Reading page…”. Wait a few seconds — it usually takes 10–20 seconds depending on page length.
Translate this entire page into French.
You'll know it worked when you see the translated text appear below the original, with clear headings and paragraphs in your chosen language.
---
Read the translated page
Scroll down to read the translated version. You’ll see the full content — text, headings, and even some formatting preserved. If the translation misses something, you can ask Le Chat to “fix any errors” or “translate only the main text”.
Fix any translation errors in the second paragraph.
You'll know it worked when the paragraph updates with corrected wording.
---
Copy or share the translation
To save the translation, highlight the text and press Ctrl+C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+C (Mac). Paste it anywhere you like. Or, to share it directly, ask Le Chat:
Summarise this page in 3 bullet points in Spanish.
Summarise this page in 3 bullet points in German.
You'll know it worked when you get a clear, concise summary in your chosen language.

Mistake: Pasting a link that’s behind a login wall. Fix: Only use public webpages — Le Chat can’t access password-protected pages.
Mistake: Expecting perfect translation of slang or idioms. Fix: Le Chat does a great job, but complex phrases may need a quick human tweak.
Mistake: Using a mobile app that doesn’t support link pasting. Fix: Use the web version of Le Chat on your phone’s browser — it works just like on desktop.
Open your browser, go to mistral.ai, paste this link:

Translate this entire page into Japanese.
Read the result — you’ll see AI in Japanese in seconds.
