Message and public-content translation

Read a translated view when available, keeping the original as the reference.

01

The original stays unchanged

User and Provider content is stored in its original language. Translation never overwrites it, and the reader can return to the original.

02

Choose your reading preference

With automatic translation off, messages appear in their original language and a translation action is available when languages differ. With it on, translated text appears by default when needed, with an option to show the original.

03

A view for the reader

Conversation translation follows the reader’s current application language and personal preference. It does not change the sender’s text or reveal coordinated-mode source messages hidden from the reader.

04

Public content and errors

Published content can reuse a translation for its current version. Source changes can invalidate older translations. Translation can fail or be imperfect; the original remains the reference. Confirm important care and appointment details with the Provider.
