Meta Expands AI Translation Feature for Facebook, Instagram Videos

Washington, October 10 (QNA) - Tech giant, 'Meta' has announced the addition of support for more languages ​​to its AI translation feature for Reels on Facebook and Instagram via its smart assistant, Meta AI. According to a company statement, the feature now supports Hindi and Portuguese, in addition to English and Spanish. The company explained that content creators on Facebook and Instagram can use Meta AI to translate and dub Reels, noting that the translation feature is available for free on public Instagram accounts and for content creators on Facebook with more than 1,000 followers in countries where Meta AI is available. The feature allows the creator's voice and tone to be mimicked to make the Reels sound more authentic than using another voice. The company added that each Reel contains a translated voice with a clear label to inform viewers that they are watching translated content. Users can also tap the three-dot menu button in the bottom-right corner of a video to access the translation settings, where they can turn the feature on or off, change the language, or choose a language they prefer not to translate. The company announced that it intends to expand the translation feature for Reels in the future, with support for more languages. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, said that Reels has been one of the most engaging tools for audiences in recent years, emphasizing the company's focus on developing more related features. Meta began testing the translation feature about a year ago and added bidirectional support for English and Spanish last August.(QNA)
