# How automatically translate messages inside the chat

If your chef speaks a different language, you can enable **Auto Translate** in the chat. This feature automatically translates incoming and outgoing messages, allowing you to communicate easily within the ChefMaison app.
## How to enable Auto Translate
1. Open your conversation with the chef.
2. Click the **three dots (⋮)** in the top-right corner.
3. Select **Chat Info**.
4. Enable **Auto Translate**.
Messages will now be translated automatically while you chat.

## Why use Auto Translate?
* Communicate easily with chefs from around the world.
* Avoid using external translation apps.
* Keep all communication secure within ChefMaison.
* Discuss menus, dietary preferences, and event details more comfortably.
> 💡 **Tip:** Automatic translation works best when messages are short and clear.
# How does Auto Translate work?
ChefMaison's **Auto Translate** feature automatically translates chat messages into the language set on your **device**, not the language selected in the app.
For example:
* Your **ChefMaison app** is set to **Spanish**.
* Your **phone's device language** is set to **Italian**.
➡️ Your chat messages will be translated into **Italian**, because Auto Translate follows your device language.
## How to change the translation language
To change the language used by Auto Translate, you'll need to change your **device language** in your phone's settings.
**On iPhone (iOS):**
1. Open **Settings**.
2. Go to **General → Language & Region**.
3. Change your **iPhone Language**.
**On Android:**
1. Open **Settings**.
2. Go to **System → Languages** (the exact menu may vary by device).
3. Select your preferred device language.
Once your device language is updated, Auto Translate will automatically use the new language for your conversations.
> The **App Language** and the **Auto Translate language** are independent settings. Changing the app language only changes the interface (menus, buttons, and screens). Chat translations always follow your device's language.
