I am so glad I stumbled onto this app — it is so much more usable than any other WhatsApp translation method I have seen. Everything else I could find is a keyboard extension, and you have to copy/paste each incoming message. This is a standalone app that translates the entire conversation. With the latest version the translation quality is much improved.

The last bug with person’s names being “Flipchat-Flipchat-Flipchat…x100” (yes it was THAT long) bas been fixed in v3.1.5. Thank goodness. Now the only thing that is lacking, is maintaining capitalization. If I want to say OH MY GOODNESS. It will change it to standard sentence case on the recipient’s message. I also really want to see Brazilian Portuguese, which is much different than standard European Portuguese. And, per capita, theres hardly anybody who uses standard Portuguese (3%)… the Brazilian version is the most widely-used worldwide (97%). So the App Publisher really needs to add both versions to avoid confusion or just replace it altogether with Brazilian Portuguese.

The app is terrific and a lifesaver when it works, however, a lot of times it’s just stuck trying to load my chat history :(
