- The chat will be translated automatically once Translate is clicked.
If manual detection is chosen
- When a message is received in a language that the operator is not familiar with, they can hover over the message and click on Translate to translate the message.
- The translate banner will appear at the top of the chat with the detected language.
- Click on Translate to get the chat translated.
Stop translation during chat
- You can stop the translation at any time during the chat if you want to continue the chat in the visitor's language.
- To stop translation, click on the Stop button on the Translate banner.
- In case you wanted to continue the translation, you can click on the Translate button again.
