Did you ever feel, I wish I could communicate with someone or understand what one communicates without actually understanding the language. We understand your problem. We are excited to launch message translation which will break language barrier and helps translate messages In-Chat instantly

Instantly translate your messages

To make chatting (in any language) easy and smooth, we are excited to introduce CometChat new message translation feature!

When your users speak in different languages, there comes a need to communicate with each other. Message translation helps in translating any message sent to the receiver to the default language setting of their app or browser

From today,  you can translate any message you receive inside a CometChat chat into your own language. Or any other language you prefer. All you need to do is hover on a message, choose translate icon, and instantly the translation will appear right below the original message.

So now you can keep up with any conversation in any language in real time.
