Could you build this?
Partial Modifying WhatsApp's UI directly without external app switching requires reverse engineering the WhatsApp Web client (e.g., browser extension) or utilizing unofficial WhatsApp Web protocols.
What it would actually take: To achieve seamless in-chat translation without leaving WhatsApp, developers typically build a Chrome/Web extension that injects DOM mutation observers into WhatsApp Web to capture incoming messages, route them through Google Translate or DeepL API, and overwrite DOM text nodes in real time. The technical barrier is keeping up with WhatsApp's heavily obfuscated React DOM changes and encrypted WebSocket payloads, which regularly break third-party extensions.
