Recently there were rumors that WhatsApp will receive a special update for Samsung devices, where the Galaxy AI translation feature can be used from within the WhatsApp application. Now the translation feature requires a Samsung Keyboard and there will be a floating icon for users.
What if you don't use a Samsung device but still want to enjoy this translation without the hassle of opening third-party apps? According to WABetaInfo, other devices will receive WhatsApp with Google Translate built-in. WhatsApp is seen to be using a Live Translation feature that requires users to select text and press the translate button manually.
More interestingly, this feature is said to be able to work without Internet access provided the user has already downloaded several language packs. The source does not reveal how many languages are supported, hopefully it is not limited because Google Translate already supports more than 244 languages. Let's all look forward to the arrival of this update.
