How to translate text in Seesaw

Teachers and families can translate Seesaw content into over 100 languages!  

If a note, caption, comment, announcement, or message is written in a language that is different from the language of a family's or teacher’s device, a View Translation option appears below the post. Tap View Translation and Seesaw automatically translates any text into your native language. Students do not have access to this feature.
