WhatsApp is one of the best messaging apps out there because it provides all the features users need for messaging and staying in touch with other people. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is set to have a live translation feature that would provide users in-app translations. This feature will help users communicate well with foreign, languages, customers and companies.
Right now, users need to go to a translation website or app to translate messages on WhatsApp and most of the time users use Google Translate. This takes extra time so now Google Translate is going to partner up with WhatsApp so users can directly translate the messages. Google’s Live Translation Technology is going to provide leverage on WhatsApp. Users will have to download different translation packs to translate messages on the app. There is no news about how many languages are going to be supported on WhatsApp but Google Translate can translate more than 100 languages so the same will probably happen on WhatsApp.
This feature is currently available on Beta version but it is not activated right now. WhatsApp or Google has shared no news about how users’ privacy will be managed if these two tech giants are set to partner up for translation purposes on WhatsApp. Even though companies claim to protect users’ privacy, most of the time they share users’ data without their permission or even train AI models with that data without any consent. We will have to see how this partnership will affect the privacy of users.
