Running forced automated translation in Google Chrome and Edge. Translation not working

Question

I am trying to run different web page translations in Google Chrome and edge.

This is the option I would want to use for all languages to English. I have tried the below code but it wouldn't force any translation.

options = Options()
prefs = {
    "translate_whitelists": {"es": "en"},
    "translate_whitelists": {"de": "en"},
    "translate_whitelists": {"ja": "en"},
    "translate_whitelists": {"ar": "en"},
    "translate_whitelists": {"zh": "en"},
    "translate_whitelists": {"hi": "en"},
    "translate": {"enabled": "true"}
}
options.add_experimental_option( "prefs", prefs )
options.add_argument( "--lang=en" )
driver = Chrome( executable_path='/usr/local/bin/chromedriver', chrome_options=options )

I am still not able to get the page translation working. The translation widget appears but doesn't tranlsate anything. It is able to detect language as well.

I have already tried these solutions.

I had the same problem... but I found bruteforce solution:

import pyautogui

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options


url = 'https://ifconfig.me/'

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--lang=fr')  # set your language here

browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

browser.get(url)

actionChains = ActionChains(browser)
actionChains.context_click().perform()

# here maybe problem. Debug it:
for i in range(3):
    pyautogui.sleep(1)
    pyautogui.press('up')

pyautogui.press('enter')
