WeChat's write-while-translate feature is now available: hidden entry, supports translation between multiple languages

Some time ago, WeChat was updated on both Android and iOS platforms, finally bringing the ringtone changing function that everyone has been looking forward to for several years. It provided more abundant personalization options and even launched a function similar to "color ringtone". WeChat, which was once much criticized, actually received rave reviews.

I don’t know if Zhang Xiaolong’s team suddenly figured it out. After launching the ringtone change function, they successively launched a variety of functions, including the write-while-translate function that was recently launched on the iOS side.

According to blogger @科技小辛's feedback, this feature can be enjoyed after updating the latest version of WeChat on iOS, but this feature is not enabled by default, and there is no separate built-in switch in the software. To enable the feature, you need to send three consecutive English messages in the chat box, and a related description bubble will pop up.

Then, long press on the input box and a "Translate while writing" function option button will appear, which can translate the text you enter into other languages ​​in real time. After actual testing, sending three English messages to the file assistant can also enable this function.

According to the interface, WeChat's write-and-translate function currently supports translation between five languages, namely Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, English and Korean.

After turning on the write-while-translate function, a small plug-in will be displayed above the chat input box. The text entered by the user will be translated into the corresponding foreign language in real time, which makes communication with foreign friends more convenient and will also be helpful for some users who want to improve their foreign language proficiency.
