Translate a message you received
Read a message that arrived in a language you do not speak.
Most message apps will translate a message you were sent. Press it and hold, and a short menu appears with Translate on it.
The English arrives underneath the original. Nobody is told that you did it.
Key points
- Press and hold a message to find Translate
- The English appears under the original, and only you see it
What to remember
- The original stays above the English, always.
- Translating a message is private to you.
