How To Use WhatsApp Native Language Translation Feature
As of now, WhatsApp’s native language translation app can be used only if the WhatsApp version is as above (2.25.12.25). Once the stable update is released, users will be able to translate language using the app itself on a mass level.
That said, reports indicate that once this feature is added to WhatsApp, users will be able to translate language from the downloaded language pack.

As for the list of languages, WhatsApp will allow users to translate languages in Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazil).
