How to translate WhatsApp Web chats in Chrome

A step-by-step guide to translating WhatsApp Web messages with the Chuyi Chrome extension: read incoming messages in your language and reply in the other person’s language, without copying text into a separate translator tab.

You need Google Chrome on a desktop computer. Mobile apps and mobile browsers are not supported.

Step by step

1

Install Chuyi in Chrome

Open the Download page and add Chuyi to Google Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. The free plan works right away, with no sign-in needed.

2

Pick your language

Choose the language you read and write in. On Pro you can also pick a translation style, such as casual or business.

3

Open WhatsApp Web

Open WhatsApp Web (web.whatsapp.com) in Chrome. Messages you receive are translated in place, with the original and the translation shown together.

Reply in their language

Type your reply in your own language. Chuyi can send it translated into the other person’s language. The free plan has a daily limit on outgoing translations; see Pricing.
