Have you ever felt awkward chatting with a friend who speaks a different language, especially when they send a long message that leaves you confused? WeChat version 8.0.56 (or above) now has a feature that automatically translates incoming messages, allowing you to instantly understand them and respond seamlessly. Try this simple, practical trick today to overcome language barriers, making communication truly limitless.

Go to WeChat「Settings」, find the「General」option, then「Translation」. You’ll see a new feature toggle, swipe it to turn on and set the language to your desired language. Once activated, WeChat will automatically translate any foreign language messages, but messages won’t be translated if your chosen language is the same as the received message.

For those who prefer manual translation, first open the chat window, then long-press the message in the foreign language. When further options appear, select「Translate」.

This feature essentially helps you communicate with others even when you receive messages in a foreign language. Simply long-press the translated message, tap「Change Language」, and select another language. Now you can easily connect with friends worldwide.
