Translate

Overcome language barriers between colleagues and clients using Snap's AI-driven translation feature. In a global business environment with a multilingual workforce, Snap can help you communicate more effectively and ensure everyone's on the same page no matter what language they're most comfortable with.

Translate posted content

Within Swit, you can instantly translate any posted content from channels and projects into your preferred language. Hover over the message you want to translate and click the Translate () icon in the floating menu. The translated content will be displayed below the original text for convenient reference. You can find the Translate () icon in the following locations:

Channel messages and comments
Channel ideas and comments
Task descriptions and comments

TIP

If you're using the Translate feature for the first time, the translation language will be set to the default language of your Swit account. On subsequent uses, it will remember and apply the most recent language you translated into.

You can also translate your own messages, ideas, comments, or task descriptions while you're drafting them.
