# Translate ALL Messages

Using a similar process, you can enable Automatic Translation of ALL messages in a channel. This will translate messages from everyone posting to the channel, unless their message is already in the desired language. Other channel members do not have to enable nor configure anything -- all new messages will immediately be translated. Depending on the [`Display Format`](/features/automatic-translation/display-format.md) you choose, channel members *may* be asked to authorize Translate to act on their behalf, granting permission for Translate to modify messages to include the translated text. Authorization is *optional* -- translations for members who have not authorized will be shown in the channel as separare messages.
