WhatsApp’s messages and channel updates translation is available for beta users | Infinium-tech

WhatsApp has been working on chat messages and channel updated translation features since last year, which is now available to some Android users enrolled in beta program.

As HobbThis translation feature is available to some users, who have a beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.25.12.25, with more beta users expected to expand in the coming weeks.

This feature supports the translation of Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Hindi and Russian languages. And since the translation is on-device without the need for an active internet connection, users have to download the language pack the language they want to translate. Alternatively, users can also download a pack that can automatically detect the language of the coming messages and translate them.

To enable the translation to the togal chat Info screen can be found in the screen, where the users can choose which language they want the messages to be automatically translated. This can be done on the basis of chat per chat for private and group chats. And if users do not want to translate messages automatically, they can do this manually by opening the message option and taping “translation”.

However, the translation of WhatsApp is not expected to be accurate as translations done by cloud-based services as WhatsApp translation is on-device using a light language pack. Therefore, WhatsApp will provide users a response to improve translations without sharing the original and translated messages with meta.

If you are using WhatsApp for the beta version of Android and this translation facility is available, then tell us how your experience has been so far.
