About This Feature

Overview

WPS Translate is a chat message translation feature in WPS collaboration on Windows. It helps you understand messages written in other languages more quickly during daily communication.

Core capabilities include:

Translate a single message from the chat window.
Detect the source language automatically before generating the translated result.
Show the translated result directly below the original message for side-by-side reading.
Manage translated results with actions such as Copy, Regenerate, Cancel Translation, Switch Language, and Forward.

This feature is useful for multilingual teamwork, customer communication, and cross-border collaboration. Translated results are labeled as AI-generated content.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports right-click translation for a single chat message, automatic language detection, translated text shown below the original message, and follow-up actions such as Copy, Regenerate, Cancel Translation, Switch Language, and Forward.	Teams supports chat message translation, automatic translation for incoming messages, and translation settings for language preferences and auto-translation behavior.	Google Chat supports Automatic Translation that converts messages into the user's preferred account language, with translated results visible only to that user.	Notion AI can translate pages or selected text for document work, but it is not an inline chat message translation flow.	Acrobat can translate full PDFs, pages, or selected text through Adobe Express, which fits document workflows rather than chat message translation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is available directly from the message right-click menu. Distinct: translated results keep message-level actions such as Copy, Regenerate, Switch Language, and Forward in the same area.	Compared with WPS: Teams also offers auto-translation settings, with more emphasis on translation preferences across chat.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat focuses more on automatic translation and requires an eligible Workspace or AI plan.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with page and document translation, not the same right-click chat message workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is better aligned with PDF translation workflows, not the same chat message translation entry point.
