WhatsApp is rolling out the ability for users to translate messages into their preferred language, the Meta-owned company announced on Tuesday.
Now, if users see a message in a different language, they can long-press and tap “Translate.” Users can then select the language they want to translate from or to, and download it for future use.
WhatsApp notes that message translations are available in one-on-one chats, groups, and Channel updates.
The company notes that translations occur on the user’s device, where WhatsApp cannot see them, which means that messages remain encrypted.
It’s unknown when WhatsApp plans to bring message translations to the web or to its Windows and Mac apps.
