# Configure emoticon translations

If you use emoticons like `:)` or `:/`, you can configure whether to have them
translated into emoji equivalents like
<img
    src="/static/generated/emoji/images-google-64/1f642.png"
    alt="smile"
    class="emoji-small"
/>
or
<img
    src="/static/generated/emoji/images-google-64/1f641.png"
    alt="slight_frown"
    class="emoji-small"
/>
automatically by Zulip.
