Also while saving you can check On save automatically translate old chat messages. If not checked only new messages will be translated. so system will try to translate all previous visitor/operator messages.

Manual messages translation​

If you do not want to use automatic translations for whatever reason you can translate specific messages by clicking right mouse button on the message you want to translate.

Also after you wrote a message you can click on the toolbar and operator message will be translated in the message area.
