WeChat is home to many convenient mini programs. Their latest feature, which translates entire pages from Chinese into your preferred language, allows you to make the most of all the WeChat features. So now with a digital mini-world accessible to you regardless of your language abilities, which ones should you check out first?
One of the notable ones is Meituan, which allows you to order groceries, medicine, delicious meals from a wide range of restaurants, etc., and have them delivered to your doorstep. Previously you had to know a bit of Chinese to be able to read the menu, but not anymore! With the restaurant’s photos and the WeChat translations, you can get a pretty decent idea of what you’re ordering.
Another useful mini program is Dianping where you can easily book movie tickets, train tickets, and more. This Chinese Yelp was previously only available if you read Chinese. You can browse through almost all restaurants, attractions, salons, hotels, movies, gyms, and basically everything with a business license all over China and read real reviews from customers who have frequented the establishment.
For those who love shopping, JD.com’s mini program offers a seamless shopping experience with a vast selection of products. With the Double 11 shopping day coming up, it’s the perfect time to load up your shopping cart with heavily discounted goods.
Then, less popular but super handy is the Shunfeng mini program that’s the most trusted courier company in China. On their mini program you can arrange to pick up, send, and track both domestic and international packages.
The translation feature on WeChat is indeed a great asset. It enables users to communicate with people from different language backgrounds easily. Whether it’s chatting with international friends or understanding foreign language content, the translation function really comes in handy. With these mini programs and features, WeChat has become an even more powerful tool for daily life and communication.
