Dynamic language detection for Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) automatically recognizes and adapts to your end users' browser language preferences to provide a seamless multilingual experience during isolated browsing sessions. This feature consists of two complementary capabilities that work together to ensure both the RBI user interface and the websites your users visit respond appropriately to their language settings. The system uses your users' browser native language configuration to determine their preferred language and applies this information to their isolated browsing experience. You don’t need to configure these features as they activate automatically when your users access RBI, detecting their browser language settings and applying them consistently throughout their sessions.

When your users access Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), the system automatically detects their browser's preferred language settings and displays the RBI interface elements in their native language. This feature eliminates the confusion and security risks that arise when critical system notifications, error messages, and RBI interface components appear only in English for non-English speaking users. The system reads your users' browser language preferences and renders all RBI notification elements including buttons, labels, messages, dialogs, alert notifications, and floating action button texts in their preferred language.

If your users' browsers have multiple languages configured, RBI uses the primary language setting as the default. When RBI does not support your users' preferred language, all interface elements automatically fall back to English to ensure consistent functionality. RBI currently supports Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), and Korean languages alongside English for end-user notifications.

Your users benefit from this feature because it reduces the likelihood of ignoring important security warnings due to language barriers and improves their overall user experience when accessing isolated web content. This language detection operates independently of your users' main website language settings. Website language changes or browser translation actions don’t affect the RBI interface language, which remains tied to their browser's preferred language configuration.

RBI automatically detects and synchronizes your end users' browser language preferences to ensure websites serve content in their native languages during isolated browsing sessions. This capability addresses the issue where RBI would only send English language preferences to web servers regardless of users' actual browser configurations, which caused websites to always return English-language content even when users configured different preferred languages in their browsers.

You will benefit from this feature when your organization has a global workforce that regularly accesses multilingual websites, international corporate applications, or cloud services that adapt content based on browser language settings. The system reads the language preferences from each user's browser and forwards the complete language preference list to destination web servers in the user's configured priority order. This ensures that users accessing Japanese corporate portals, Chinese e-commerce sites, or European government websites receive content in their expected languages rather than defaulting to English versions.

The language detection operates transparently without requiring any configuration changes to your RBI deployment or user browsers. When the system can’t determine language preferences, it defaults to English to maintain reliable operation. This capability functions across all supported platforms and browsers, preserving the natural multilingual browsing experience your users expect while maintaining the security isolation that protects your organization from web-based threats.

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) web translation enables your users to translate webpage content directly within their isolated browsing sessions without compromising security. When users access websites through RBI, they can now use the context menu to translate an entire webpage or selected text portions into their browser's preferred language. The feature integrates the Google Cloud Translation API with the remote browser running in the RBI infrastructure, preserving the native browser translation experience users expect from local browsing.

Users configure their preferred language through the local browser's language settings, and RBI automatically detects this preference to offer appropriate translation options. When users encounter content in a foreign language, they can right-click on the page to access the translate option in the context menu, which will convert the entire webpage to their preferred language. For specific text segments, they can highlight the content and right-click on the page and select the option to translate only the selected portion, with results displayed in a translation widget.

The translation feature proves valuable for global organizations where employees regularly access content in multiple languages as part of their daily workflows. Users can configure automatic translation settings for specific websites, enabling frequently visited foreign language sites to translate automatically upon loading (applicable only if the cache clearing option is not enabled on the tenant). This feature supports all major world languages available through Google Translate and maintains translation preferences across RBI sessions.

The print with header and footer feature enables users to include header and footer information when printing webpages rendered via Remote Browser Isolation (RBI). When using RBI, the standard print options, such as pressing Ctrl+P, using the default context menu, or selecting in-page print options, don’t include headers and footers in the printed output. To enhance the print functionality, RBI now includes a dedicated option in the context menu to print headers and footers in web content.

RBI users can access this feature by right-clicking on the page while in an isolated browsing session and selecting Print (with Header/Footer) from the context menu. The feature is available across all desktop and mobile devices that support RBI, ensuring consistent printing functionality regardless of the device RBI users are using.

You can now use isolation profiles in Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) to specify the types of files users can upload or download, enabling more granular control over data transfers during isolated browsing sessions. Previously, you can only allow or block all downloads or all uploads during isolation, regardless of file type. The new capability helps to enhance the security posture by reducing the attack surface and preventing various types of cybersecurity threats. It also helps in data exfiltration by controlling which categories of file types a user is able to upload.

You can configure allowed file types in isolation profiles using predefined categories like Documents, Multimedia, Archives, Executables/Applications, and Source Code. You can also specify up to five custom file extensions. When a user attempts to download or upload a file during isolation, the RBI service checks if the file type is allowed based on the configured profile. This prevents users from transferring unauthorized file types, reducing the risk of data exfiltration or malware introduction.

Key use cases include permitting users to download only document files, blocking downloads of executable files, or permitting transfers of only specific approved file types. The granular controls enable you to balance security and usability by tailoring allowed file types to your organization's needs. Configuring file type filtering enhances your data loss prevention capabilities and provides an additional layer of protection against potential threats introduced through file transfers.

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) is available in China to protect your users' managed devices from malware and potential zero-day attacks that result from web browsing activity. RBI in China works with Prisma Access in China to isolate and transfer all browsing activity to Prisma Access, which secures and isolates potentially malicious code and content away from your users' managed devices and corporate networks.

The capabilities available in RBI in China are the same as the RBI capabilities for the rest of the world, and the procedures for configuring RBI in China are the same.
