WeChat and WhatsApp chat history translation
Chat screenshots from WeChat, WhatsApp, QQ, SMS and similar apps are common relationship evidence for Australian partner visas (820/801, 309/100), New Zealand partnership visas and US marriage cases — often hundreds of pages. We translate every bubble in place on the original screenshot. At Smartlink Translation (zhityun.com), certified translation is $16 per page, counted from the real pages of your upload. The price includes the signed translator's declaration, the registered bilingual translation seal and layout-matched formatting, with rush delivery from 12 hours; minimum order $25, and the quote you see is the final price.

How we translate it
- Bubbles translated in place; speakers left and right exactly as in the original
- Quoted replies, voice-message markers, recalls, red packets, transfers and timestamps all translated
- Contact nicknames, places and dates consistent across the whole set; large sets delivered in numbered volumes
- Offshore translations for Australia do not require NAATI; the declaration gives the translator's full name, address, phone and qualifications
Every translation includes
A translation laid out like the original (.docx + .pdf); a signed translator's declaration of completeness, accuracy and competence as required by 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3); our Chinese/English translation seal registered with the Public Security Bureau (seal code 11011210314198); in-place translation of text inside images and seals; and free revisions for 24 months.
Common mistakes that trigger an RFE or rejection
Chats retyped into a table
A transcript loses who said what and when; officers trust a translation that mirrors the screenshot.
System messages skipped
Recall notices and transfer cards look like deletions if left out.
