WhatsApp is developing on-device live translation for messages
-
The feature will initially support English and Hindi, with more languages to come
-
WhatsApp is also testing live transcription for voice messages
WhatsApp is working on two exciting new features for its Android app. The first is live translation, which can translate messages in real-time without sending them to a server. This means your messages stay private and translation happens faster. The feature will start with English and Hindi, but more languages will be added later.
The second feature is live transcription for voice messages. This means you’ll be able to read what was said in a voice message, making it easier to understand or reference later. This feature will be especially helpful for people who prefer audio messages or need assistance with hearing.
These features are still being tested and aren’t available to all users yet. However, they have the potential to greatly improve the WhatsApp experience, especially for those who communicate with people who speak different languages.
