Remind: Auto-Translation for Messages
Send Messages using Remind’s Auto-Translation Feature
Remind allows users to set their Preferred Language and will automatically translate messages sent through Remind. It will also translate any message sent to you if you set your preferred language! Preferred Language is populated into Remind by Synergy, but can be overridden by the user or teacher. Translation needs to be turned on by following these steps.

Before sending your message, click the translation icon.
Check ‘Translate this message’. The dialogue box will show how many languages your message will be translated into. This will need to be done for each class/group, but once turned on, Remind will translate all messages from you.
Optional: Select a language on the list, and click the dropdown menu to either preview the auto-translated message, edit the translation, or turn translation off for a specific language.
Recipients will be able to translate your message back into English or their preferred language if they use the Remind app or website.

Note: To turn off auto-translation for individual languages, select a language on the list, and click the dropdown menu to turn translation off for that specific language.
