In today’s era, WhatsApp has become the most important medium of communication, but sometimes language obstruction becomes a major problem. Especially when someone sends messages in English or any other language, which is not easy for everyone to understand. Given this problem, WhatsApp has launched a new and extremely useful feature: message translation. After the introduction of this feature, now users will not need any third-party app or tool to translate the message, which will make communication even more comfortable.
How will this new feature work?
This feature is very easy to use. Any message you want to translate, just a long press on it (press and press it for a long time). By doing this, a menu will open, in which you will see the option of ‘translate’ (translate). As soon as you tap on this option, you will be asked in which language you want to translate the message. You can choose your favorite language, and the message will immediately turn into that language. This new feature is not limited to personal chat only, but this group will also work in chat and channel updates. This will prove to be a game-changer for those who are connected in groups with different languages.
Automatic translation facility
WhatsApp has given another great feature for Android users, which is ‘Auto Translation’. After turning on this option, whenever you get a message in another language, it will automatically translate into your favorite language. This means that you will not need to translate every message manually.
Support of languages:
Android users: Currently, this feature for Android users will support languages like Hindi, English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese and Arabic.
IPhone users: The company has supported the users running iPhone in more than 19 languages.
WhatsApp has also clarified that this translation occurs locally on the device, which means that the company can neither read nor store your message, which will make your privacy completely safe.
Global access and future plans
This new feature of WhatsApp is an important step, especially for a platform that connects more than 3 billion people in 180 countries. This will be very helpful for those who are associated with people who know different languages. The company says that they have started rolling out this feature and more languages will be added to it in the coming time. This facility will gradually be available to all users. This feature will make WhatsApp even more inclusive and useful, which will reduce linguistic obstacles and people will be able to connect with each other in a better way.
