About WA Language Translator – Auto Translate for WhatsApp™ Web
Translate conversations naturally with WA Language Translator — an independent translation assistant designed for WhatsApp™ Web.
Communicate across languages without constantly copying messages into another translator. WA Language Translator helps you understand incoming conversations, prepare translated replies, preview your message before sending, and optionally automate translations directly while you chat.
Whether you're talking with international customers, remote teammates, friends, family, buyers, sellers, or people you meet while traveling, the extension keeps multilingual communication inside one simple workflow.
🌍 Translate Incoming Messages
Turn on Auto-Translate Incoming Messages and received messages can be translated automatically into your selected language.
Choose how translated content appears using flexible display options:
• Clean Replace — display the translated version in a simple format
• Dual Split Box — keep the original message visible together with its translation
• Choose an accent style that fits your preference
• Turn automatic translation on or off whenever you need it
This makes it easier to follow conversations while still keeping the original text available when desired.
✈️ Translate Your Replies Before Sending
Write naturally in the language you're comfortable with.
With Global Sender, you can:
• Select the conversation you want to reply to
• Choose the destination language
• Type your message normally
• Generate a translated preview
• Review the translated text before sending
• Use Translate & Send for a faster workflow
• Use Insert into Chat when you want to review or edit the result first
For example:
You type:
Hello! Glad to connect with you.
Translation preview:
Bonjour ! Ravi d'entrer en contact avec vous.
You stay in control of what is sent and can review the translated result before completing your message.
⚡ Real-Time Auto-Translate
For conversations where you regularly communicate in another language, enable automatic translation instead of translating each message manually.
The extension is designed to make cross-language conversations feel more natural by reducing repetitive copying, pasting, switching tabs, and opening separate translation websites.
You can enable or disable translation features based on how you prefer to communicate.
🌐 Multiple Language Support
WA Language Translator is built for multilingual conversations and lets you select the source and target language that fits your chat.
Switch languages whenever your conversation changes and use the extension for situations such as:
• International client communication
• Remote and distributed teams
• Cross-border sales and customer conversations
• Travel and communication abroad
• Friends and family speaking different languages
• Online communities
• Language practice and learning
Instead of changing your entire workflow, translation stays close to the conversation.
🤖 Built-In Smart Engine
Want to start without configuring your own translation service?
The WATrans Smart Engine is available as the built-in translation option and is designed for quick setup.
With the Smart Engine you can:
• Start translating without entering an external API key
• Use a daily free allowance
• Translate incoming and outgoing messages
• Switch to another supported engine whenever you want
Available usage and paid features may vary by your current plan.
🔑 Bring Your Own API Key
Prefer using your own AI or translation provider?
WA Language Translator also supports a Bring Your Own Key workflow, giving advanced users more flexibility over the engine used for translations.
Supported options include integrations for providers such as:
• Google Gemini
• DeepL
• OpenAI
• Groq
• Ollama / locally hosted models
You can also connect supported custom compatible gateways using the available endpoint configuration.
Availability, pricing, quotas, model access, and usage limits for third-party providers are controlled by the respective provider and your account with that service.
🧠 Choose the Engine That Fits Your Workflow
Different translation engines can work better for different situations.
The AI Engines section lets you configure an available provider, enter the required credentials, select supported models where applicable, and test the connection before using it.
This makes WA Language Translator useful both for someone who wants a simple ready-to-use translator and for advanced users who prefer more control over their translation setup.
🔒 API Key Handling
API keys entered into the extension are stored locally in your browser rather than displayed publicly in your conversations.
Only connect accounts and API credentials that you are authorized to use.
When an external translation or AI provider is selected, text required to perform the translation may need to be sent to that provider according to the provider's own terms, privacy policy, and data-handling practices.
Please review the extension's Privacy Policy for complete information about how data is handled.
🎨 Flexible Translation Display
Everyone reads translated conversations differently, so the extension gives you control over how translations appear.
Choose between layouts such as:
Clean Replace
Keep the conversation visually simple by emphasizing the translated text.
Dual Split Box
See the translation while retaining the original message for additional context.
This can be especially helpful when you're learning a language, checking translation accuracy, or working with important business conversations.
⌨️ Faster Outgoing Translation
Enable the Outgoing Translate Button to access translation more quickly while composing messages.
A keyboard shortcut can also make frequently used translation actions easier to reach without navigating through several menus.
The goal is simple: spend less time operating translation tools and more time focusing on the conversation.
