# Translate this Message

You can translate any message that has been posted in Slack by using the Shortcuts menu (icon with 3 vertical dots) to find the `Translate this message` shortcut. Translations will be sent as a message that is *only visible to you*. This is a great feature when a channel has occasional messages in *other* languages, that you want to translate into *your* language. It may also be useful in channels where you are the only member who needs translations.
