Translate messages in a WhatsApp group

To translate a message in a WhatsApp group, reply to it and mention Agent Sonic: “@Sonic translate to English”. It answers in the group with the translation — handy for international teams, families and neighborhood groups.

Plan: Basic & Pro · Setup time: 1 minute

Step by step

  1. Add Sonic to the group.
  2. Reply to the message you want translated.
  3. Mention Sonic with the language: “@Sonic translate to Hebrew.”
  4. Sonic posts the translation in the group.

What Sonic can do

  • Translate between most languages.
  • Summarize a mixed-language conversation in one language.
  • In a private chat, translate anything you paste or forward.

What it can't do (yet)

  • Translate every message automatically — it translates when asked.
  • Translate text inside photos or voice notes unless the group is on Pro (reply to it and mention Sonic).

Try asking

  • “@Sonic translate to English” (as a reply)
  • “@Sonic summarize today in Hebrew.”
  • “@Sonic how do I say ‘see you tomorrow’ in Spanish?”
