How to Use SwiftSlate for Translation in Messaging Apps

1. Open Your Messaging App: Launch WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or any other chat application.
2. Type Your Message: Type the text you wish to translate in the message input field.

   • Example (Translate to Chinese): Thank you for your help. ?translate:zh
   • Example (Translate to Hindi): Good morning! ?translate:hi
4. Let the AI Work: As soon as you type the trigger, SwiftSlate’s accessibility service intercepts the text, sends it to your configured AI model, and instantly replaces your original typed text with the translated version .
5. Send: Review the translated text and hit send as you normally would.
