Automatic translations?

This morning I noticed that a couple of standard chat messages (e.g. "Have fun!" "Are you still there?") are being automatically translated into the player's preferred language, which I think is quite a nice feature. Perhaps this has been around for a long time, although I've played quite a few games on BGA and this is the first time I've seen it.
Is there a list somewhere of what canned messages have automatic translations?

In the chat window, there's a button that shows a list of such messages to choose from.

Click the meeple icon in chat for the list. It has been there for years. What's newish (at least several months) is them putting quotes around it to indicate it's a canned message.

All right, so I'm just slow to catch up.
Thanks so much!

You can even translate other texts. If the other person writes a text in their language, just go to the end of this text with the cursor. A little icon will show up. If you click on it, google translate opens and translates the text for you. For answering, translate your text first via google translate, then copy the translation in their language into the chat box.
