In-Chat Translation in GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
Translate any received message into your language with one long-press — supports 50+ languages.
In context
Why people actually use In-Chat Translation
In-Chat Translation translates any received message into your chosen language with a long-press and a single tap. v18.80 supports 50+ languages including Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Swahili, Burmese, Khmer, Lao, and others. The translation uses Google Translate's API in the background but the experience is seamless inside the chat. Useful for international families, businesses with customers across languages, or just understanding a meme someone sent in a language you do not speak. Translations appear below the original message so you can see both. Important note: messages are sent to Google's servers for translation when you trigger it — if your chat content is sensitive, do not translate it.
