Auto-translation

There are 2 ways to turn on Auto-translation for video meeting chat.

Method 1: Set up before a meeting

Click your profile photo > Settings > General, and select Auto-translation and Video meeting chat.

Method 2: Set up during a meeting

Click More > Settings > Chat. Click the input box next to Auto translation and select the language you'd like to auto-translate from the drop-down list. Currently, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Thai, Hindu and Indonesian are available.

After auto-translation is turned on, messages sent in the language you selected will be automatically translated when you see them in the meeting chat.

Note: If in Feishu Settings, you selected Show original and translation under Translation display, then in the video meeting chat the original and the translation will both be shown. If you selected Show translation only, then you will only see the translated content in the meeting chat.

Translate one-by-one

If you didn't turn on Auto-translation for video meeting chat, then you can translate each meeting chat message one by one. Click the ... icon next to a message to open the menu. Click Translate and the corresponding message will be translated into the default target language you set in Feishu.

If you only want to translate a specific part of a message, you can highlight the text you want to translate and right-click, then click Translate. The selected text will be translated into the default target language you set in Feishu. If you want to switch the language to translate to, you can do this by clicking the language shown in the bottom right corner of the translation card.
