Hi @rixon08,

It seems like you've enabled auto translation.
If so, you don't need to manually call ChatClient.translate

Here are the docs you could follow instead:

• https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/android/ui/guides/custom-translations/#automatic-translation
• https://getstream.io/chat/docs/node/translation/

Hi @kanat
Should I set those 2 docs to make translation work?
Because I just set from this (https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/android/ui/guides/custom-translations/#automatic-translation) docs only

Hi @rixon08,

Yes, both setups are required.

Hi @kanat
What if I want to translate one message only that I choose, not all message in that channel. Should I call ChatClient.translate and set this docs https://getstream.io/chat/docs/node/translation/#enabling-automatic-translation?

Hi @rixon08,

If you'd like translate just a single message, you don't need to enable auto_translation at all.
You can just call ChatClient.translate

Hi @kanat
I've tried to add this doc https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/android/ui/guides/custom-translations/#supporting-auto-translation-in-the-custom-chatmessagetexttransformer and after I call ChatClient.translate, message doesn't changed. But after I close View then I open again, the message has changed. How to make message changed after call ChatClient.translate?

Hey @rixon08,

What UI components do you use: Compose or XML?

Hi @kanat
I'm using XML

Hey @rixon08,

We’ve created a PR that adds a Translate action to the sample app, so you can implement something similar.

Please note that although the SampleApp uses ChatClient.getCurrentUser().language, it’s not mandatory to follow this approach. You can pass any language you prefer, such as the language stored in your app.
