Auto-Translate

You can dynamically enable auto-translation of incoming messages in the chat by passing autotranslate=true and lang as URL parameters.

How It Works

  • When the URL includes the parameter autotranslate=true, all incoming messages in the chat will be automatically translated.
  • Messages are translated into the language specified by the lang parameter.
  • If lang is not provided, the default project language will be used.
  • Auto-translation is only active for the current session. The user’s settings are not changed.

Respecting User Preferences

  • If the user already has auto-translation enabled in their settings, the autotranslate=true parameter is ignored.
  • If the user has auto-translation disabled, but the autotranslate=true parameter is present, auto-translation will be temporarily activated for this session only — without modifying the user's preferences.

Example

https://chat.watchers.io/?roomId=1234&apikey={project-api-key}&userId=1234&autotranslate=true&lang=es

This URL activates auto-translation into Spanish for the current session, unless the user has explicitly disabled auto-translation in their personal settings.
