Key notes
If your organization lets you share and collaborate with colleagues via mobile devices, you’ve probably encountered or heard aboutMicrosoft Teamsfor Android.
Nowadays, Teams is one of the most highly-soughtcollaborative toolsfor enterprises, educational institutions, and other organizations. But the mobile version of theOffice 365-based platform lags behind its desktop alternative in multiple key areas.
The capability for on-demand message translation has been one of those, but it’s currently rolling out to Microsoft Teams for Android.
Inline chat translation in Microsoft Teams for Android
According to a recent Microsoft 365 Roadmapentry, you may now start using inline chat translation in Microsoft Teams for Android.
Inline message translation will ensure that every worker in the team has a voice and facilitate global collaboration. With a simple click, people who speak different languages can fluidly communicate with one another by translating posts in channels and chat.
Now, in Teams for Android, you’ll be able to translate any chat or channel message into the language you’ve set for your app.
The feature comes at a time when organizations are increasingly leveragingcollaborative softwareto integrate personnel from different parts of the world. Such remote-working teammates may not always speak the same language, which poses a communication challenge, including when using instant messaging apps.
Nonetheless, you can translate your chats on demand in Teams for desktop provided that the admin has tweaked messaging policies to allow it.
Microsoft recentlyaddeda bunch of productivity-focused features to Teams in mobile preview. It appears that the Redmond-based tech giant foresees a future in which the mobile version of the app plays a much bigger role in facilitating remote working or even sharing in informal contexts.
Microsoft Teams, meanwhile, nowallows up to 300 peopleto attend a single virtual meeting.
