Available
For now, this feature is only supporting out to iOS and Android. There’s no word yet on when translations will arrive for WhatsApp Web or the Windows app.
WhatsApp has also noted that translations may not show up for everyone immediately. Users are advised to keep their app updated to get the feature as soon as it’s available on their devices.
How to translate messages
· Long-press on the message you want to translate.
· Tap the three dots in the top-right corner.
· Select Translate and choose your preferred language.
The translation appears instantly whether it’s a 1:1 chat, group, or even a Channel update.
Extra features
WhatsApp ensures that translations happen directly on your device, meaning your chats remain private. To use a language, you’ll need to download its language pack. On Android, there’s an extra perk: users can enable automatic translation for an entire chat thread. Once turned on, all future incoming messages in that chat will be translated automatically.
