Translation in chat

Thai and English chat lines translated for you – how the 文A mark works and how to switch it off for yourself.

Many CamuCam chats mix Thai and English. When a streamer turns on translation, lines in the other language can be read in yours – Thai for Thai readers, English for everyone else.

How it looks

The streamer picks one of two modes under Chat rules:

On tap – lines in the other language get a 文A mark. Tap it to translate the line; tap again for the original.
Always – new lines in the other language show up already translated, with a 文A mark. Tap it to see the original.

The translation takes the place of the original, so the chat reads as one conversation. Messages with tips and notes on offers are translated too.

Which lines get translated

Only lines worth it:

written in the other language than yours – Thai is recognized by its script, Latin letters count as English, and lines in other scripts (Chinese, Russian …) are translated into your language too;
with real words – at least two, or a few Thai letters. Laughter, emoji, emotes and chat words everyone knows (lol, gg, ok, 555, ครับ …) stay as they are.

Each line is translated with the lines before it, so short replies make sense. Emotes, @names, emoji, numbers and links stay unchanged, and “555” becomes “haha” (and the other way round). Every line is translated once per language, so everyone reading in your language sees the same text.

Your language and your switch

You read in the language CamuCam is set to – change it under Language & currency in You.
When a chat translates, a chip above the input says 文A Translation on or 文A Translation on tap. Tap it to switch translation off just for you; tap again to bring it back. Your browser remembers the choice.

For streamers: turn it on under Chat rules on Go live – see chat rules & moderators.
