WhatsApp has been working on chat messages and channel updates translation facility from last year, which is now available to some Android users registered in the Beta Program.
According to W floatingThis translation feature is available to some users, who have the beta version 2.25.12.25 of WhatsApp for Android, the rollout is expected to expand to more beta users next week.
This feature supports translation of Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Hindi and Russian languages. And because the translation is without the need for an active internet connection, so users must download the language pack corresponding to the language wanting to translate. Alternatively, users can also download a pack that can automatically detect and translate the language of incoming messages.
To enable translation can be found in the TG Gull Chat information screen, where users can choose which language they want to automatically translate messages. This can be done on a per-chat basis for private and group chats. And if users do not want to translate messages automatically, they can do it manually by opening the message option and tapping the “translation”.
However, do not expect as accurate as the translations made by cloud-based services, as WhatsApp is translated on the device using a lightweight language pack. Therefore, WhatsApp will allow users to provide feedback to improve translation without sharing original and translated messages with meta.
If you are using WhatsApp for the beta version of Android and got this translation feature, let us know how your experience has been so far.
