# Translate SpeedLight

## SpeedLight Translation

SpeedLight now includes a translation feature that allows Viewer texts, messages, and menus to be translated into virtually any language.

### Translating Messages

You can translate messages such as IMs, Local Chat, Group Messages, and more into your preferred language.

To translate a message:

1. Tap the **three-dot menu** next to the message.
2. Select **“Translate to…”**
3. Choose your desired target language.

You can also enable this option to remain visible at all times:

**Avatar Settings → Messaging**

### Help Us Improve

Please note that **SpeedLight Translation is currently a beta feature**, and translations may not always be 100% accurate. We are actively working to improve the quality of translations.

If you are fluent in a foreign language and would like to help improve translations for your favorite Viewer, [**this thread may interest you**](/viewer-features/localization.md).
