WhatsApp is reportedly developing a new feature that will enable users to translate messages using various language packs directly within the app. This new functionality aims to expand WhatsApp’s audience by facilitating effortless communication in multiple languages without the need for external translation applications. The feature will provide instant translations during conversations, ensuring a smooth communication flow and making it easier for users to understand and respond in real-time. This development follows the recent introduction of a transcribing voice notes feature, further enhancing the app’s utility and user experience. WhatsApp is in the process of developing an automatic translation feature to enhance user communication. According to WABetaInfo, this feature will allow users to choose whether the app should automatically translate all chat messages. This upcoming update will maintain WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption by processing translations on the device itself. To enable this, the app will need to download specific language packs, ensuring messages are translated securely and efficiently without compromising user privacy.
