Open the original- What it measures
- WhatsApp's own announcement of voice message transcripts. It names no languages in this sentence and links to a separate page for the list of supported languages.
- What it does not show
- The sentence is from the launch in November 2024. The list of languages has changed since then, so the current list must be checked in the app or on WhatsApp's help pages.
