Auto-Translate text messages

My wife and her family all speak/type Spanish (mexico, not spain, if that matters) but I don't know spanish. I'm finding I'm using iMessages built in translate for each message as they come in. Is there a way to have text auto-translate to english as they come in rather than me having to select each individual message manually?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello seanzee7893,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Currently in the iMessages app, there isn't a built-in auto translate feature. The only way to translate messages, is by using the steps listed here: Translate text, voice, and conversations on iPhone - Apple Support


Which does appear that you're currently using this method. If you'd like to provide feedback on your experience with Apple products or services, you can do so using this link: Legal - Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy - Apple
