How translations work in end-to-end encrypted chats
When someone in a chat chooses to translate a message, the selected text is sent securely to Meta’s servers in order to provide translations, including in end-to-end encrypted chats. To protect your privacy, we have systems in place to remove most identifying information from message content before it is sent to our servers for translation. Identifying information may include names, dates, credit card numbers and other information.
