Meta has announced that WhatsApp Messenger can now translate messages in chats. This is done on the device.

Translation works for personal chats, groups, and Channel updates. To use it on iOS, you will need to press and hold on a message, and tap on More > Translate.

Select the language you want the message to be translated to or from. This will offer to download the select language. You can manage the installed languages from the Settings > Translate > Downloaded languages.

Android users will need to press and hold on a message, then tap on the three-dot menu at the top, and then choose to download the language. Tap on translate to view the translated version of the text. If you want to view the original text, tap on the three-dot menu and select remove translation. Android users can use the view translation option to automatically translate an entire chat, which will also translate future incoming messages in the thread.

Note: WhatsApp's message translate feature only works for chats, i.e. text messages. It cannot translate documents, stickers, GIFs, contacts, etc.
