Hello everyone, I'm Xiaojun. In the process of working, living and even traveling, we often encounter situations where we need to deal with foreign friends. However, for people who don't understand English, this can be a barrier that affects our normal communication and interaction. Today I will share a hidden function in WeChat, after learning this function, even if we don't understand English, we can easily chat with foreigners. If you don't know this feature yet, you may wish to like and follow it so that you can easily find it when you need it in the future!
To use this feature, first we need to open the WeChat chat page. In the chat page, we will see an input box with which we can send text messages, emoticons, etc. In addition to sending text and emojis, we can also use the following methods to translate while writing. Press and hold on the input box for 1 second and you'll see an option to "Translate while writing". So what's the use of this writing and translating?
When we click on this function, small English print will be displayed in the lower left corner of the input box, which means that we can automatically convert the input text to English. For example, when we meet foreign friends when we are traveling and want to ask for directions or ask for help, we only need to enter Chinese into the input box, such as "where are you from" or "how are you" and other common words, and then these Chinese will be automatically translated into English below. In this way, we can express our needs to our foreign friends, and they can also quickly understand what we mean. If your WeChat friend is a foreign friend, you can also click to use it and send this message out, so that the other party can know your intentions at the first time and facilitate communication.
In addition to quickly translating Chinese to English, we can also translate from English to Chinese. For example, when a foreign friend greets us or asks for help, and we can't read or understand the English they speak, we can enter the English into the text box, and then click on the lower left corner to switch the English to Chinese, so that we can quickly translate the English into Chinese. For example, when a foreign friend says "How are you", we can type this sentence in English in the text box, and then switch the English to Chinese, so that we can directly see that "How are you" translated into Chinese is "How are you".
In addition to converting between Chinese and English, this feature also supports other languages, such as Japanese, Korean, etc. It can be said that it is very convenient. However, it should be noted that this while writing and translating is turned off by default, and we need to enable it manually. We only need to open WeChat, and then enter 3 English sentences in a row in the text input box, such as "How are you", "How are you", "How are you", "How are you", etc. Remember, you need to send these 3 English sentences to your friends in a row, so that you can successfully turn on the Translate While Writing function. After turning it on, we only need to long press the text box, and we can see that there is a function of translating while writing. When you need to use it, you can turn it on at any time, and when you don't need it, you can turn it off in the same way.
Through this method, even if we don't understand English, we can easily communicate with foreign friends on WeChat, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Don't forget to share and forward it to your family and friends so that more people know about this practical tip. Thank you, I'm Xiaojun, we'll see you next time!
