Connecteam Chat can now automatically detect messages written in a different language than your app language and let you instantly translate them directly inside the conversation. There’s no need to copy messages into external translation tools or switch between apps.
Translations appear in place within the chat, making it easier to follow conversations and communicate across multilingual teams.
