The language. The translation reaches the heart of their chats

by

We have all lived the frustration of not understanding with someone for a simple language. It can be on a trip, in a working group with colleagues from other countries or even in a conversation with family members abroad. In that field where words fail, WhatsApp has decided to take another step: Integrate translation directly in your chats to reduce that friction. With more than 3,000 million users Distributed by more than 180 countries, WhatsApp connects to very diverse communities. The new translation function is presented as a real communication response with less barriers. How it works. The process to translate is direct and does not require leaving the chat. Simply hold a message and choose the “Translate” option. The application will show the text in the selected language and save the downloaded packages to use them in the future. The function is available in individual conversations, groups and also in the updates of the channels, which expands its reach beyond private exchanges. Languages ​​and deployment. The new function begins to gradually arrive at Android and iPhone users. In the case of Android, the start is limited to six languages: English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Arab. In iOS, on the other hand, the fan is broader: more than 19 languages ​​from the beginning, supported by Apple’s infrastructure. Android self -translation. In addition to the manual option, Android users will have an additional function: automatically translate all incoming messages of a concrete conversation. Once activated, any text received in another language will be displayed in the language chosen by default. It is an option designed for those who maintain continuous exchanges in another language, avoiding having to translate a message by message. Privacy on the device. The deployment of the function is accompanied by a key nuance: translation does not abandon your mobile. According to WhatsApp, the entire process occurs in local and the company has no visibility on the texts that become another language. The measure responds to the need to preserve privacy in a service where users share sensitive information, respecting the security framework provided by end -to -end encryption. What does not translate. The new tool is not universal: there are contents that are left out. WhatsApp details that locations, documents, contacts, stickers or gif cannot be translated. In addition, as we have said, to use the function it is necessary to previously download the language packages and have sufficient storage space. Integrated translation is not limited to travel scenarios. It can be useful for merchants who serve tourists and need to understand orders instantly. In the workplace, teams distributed in several countries can maintain the rhythm of their conversations without depending on external translators. Even in the daily life of multicultural neighborhoods, the function adds fluidity. Until now, the alternative was going to copy the message and take it to an external translator, or use the translation functions of the mobile system. Both options solve the problem, but add intermediate steps that break the immediacy of the chat. WhatsApp’s bet is that everything happens in the same place where the conversation has already elapsed. Images | Mariia Shalabaieva | WhatsApp In Xataka | Send files among all my devices was a roll.
