Sendbird’s message auto-translation and on-demand message translation features are powered by Google Cloud Translation API recognition engine. The recognition engine supports a wide variety of languages for the Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model.
Note: Message translation using the Microsoft Translator engine is no longer available. All Sendbird applications that had previously used the engine have been migrated and are now using Google Cloud Translation.
The following table shows the languages and codes that Google Cloud engine supports. You can translate between any of the languages listed below.
