Microsoft Teams - Translate Q&A chat?

Hi @Urquhart, Andrew (NBCC),

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum.

Currently, Microsoft Teams does offer translation features, but they are limited to chat messages in standard channels and meeting chat, not the Q&A feature in webinars or live events. That’s why you don’t see the “Translate” option in the three-dot menu for Q&A posts.

This happens because the Q&A app in Teams is a separate component from regular chat. Auto-translate is currently not supported for Q&A messages. Translation options are only available for messages in standard chat or channels.

Your suggestion for not currently supported features such as translation in Q&A chats are greatly fantastic ideas for webinars and hosting events. While these options are not available today, we’re optimistic about future enhancements.  

Because of that, I strongly recommend you to share your feedback directly with the Microsoft engineering team via Microsoft Teams · Community → Send Feedback and describe your suggestion in detail. Your input plays a vital role in shaping the future of Microsoft products.
