WhatsApp announces Message Translations feature for Android and iPhone users
WhatsApp has announced a new feature called Message Translations, which, as evident from its name, allows users to translate text messages in chats.
The Message Translations feature works with 1:1 conversations, group chats, and Channels. When you see a message in a different language, you can long-press that message, tap "Translate," then choose the language you want that message to be translated from or to. It can also be downloaded for future translations. Additionally, Android users will have the option to enable automatic translation for future incoming messages across an entire chat thread.
WhatsApp claims that all translations happen on-device, meaning even WhatsApp cannot see them.
The Message Translations feature is rolling out for iPhone and Android users in select languages, with more to follow.
It will translate messages for Android users in English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic languages, while iPhone users will be able to translate messages in more than 19 languages.
