Translated messages

Write in your language, read in yours, send voice messages, photos and files.

In a chat, everyone writes in their own language. LibComPlus translates each message for the person reading it.

Start a conversation

In the Chats tab, tap the round button to open the create menu.

Create menu: conversation, group, community, channel, broadcast, live
What you can create from the “+” button.

You can create:

  • a conversation between two people;
  • a group chat, or join an existing group;
  • a community (a public space on a theme) or a channel (one person broadcasting to many);
  • a broadcast: one message sent privately to several contacts, in each one’s language;
  • a live or a video.

Read and write

A conversation where messages are shown in the reader’s language
Each message appears in your language; a link shows the original.

Write your message in your language and tap the send button. The other person reads it in theirs. Under each translated message:

  • “View original” shows the text as it was written;
  • “Correct this translation” lets you suggest a better version;
  • the speaker button “Listen” reads the message aloud.

Choose what you see

In a conversation, tap ⋮ (More options), then Translation options.

Conversation menu: contact info, translation options, disappearing messages, customisation
The “More options” menu of a conversation.
Choice of how translations are displayed in a conversation
Translation first, original first, translation only or original only.

Four modes are available: translation first, original first, translation only or original only. You can set them for one conversation, or keep your global setting.

Voice messages

Hold the microphone button to record a voice message. The message is transcribed and translated for the other person, who can also listen to it. One button sends your voice in the contact’s language, and another lets you dictate a message instead of typing it.

Photos, files and other attachments

Tap the + button in the message box.

Attachment menu: camera, gallery, document, audio, video, location, contact, poll
The “+” button in the message box opens this menu.

You can attach a photo taken on the spot, an image from the gallery, a document, an audio or video file, a sticker, a place (and your live location, if you decide to), a contact or a poll. You can also schedule a message.

Disappearing messages and private mode

The conversation menu lets you turn on disappearing messages (they vanish after a delay), lock the conversation, block screenshots, mute the conversation or export it. Private mode sends without translation.

Block or report someone

These actions are in Contact info. The guide “Account, languages and privacy” describes them.
