      What Gets Translated

      The translation feature works on content that people write, the actual conversations and comments. This means you can understand what colleagues are saying and join in discussions regardless of the language they're writing in.

      👉 Please Note: Menus, buttons, and system labels stay in the English language. This keeps navigation consistent whilst giving you access to translated conversations where it counts.

      When This Helps

      • Following discussions in team chats when people write in different languages
      • Understanding comments on announcements or updates
      • Participating in conversations without asking colleagues to translate
      • Catching up on chat history that's in another language

      💡 Top Tip: The translation replaces the original text, but you can always see the original if you need to check something.
