No matter where it was made or what language it was filmed in, imagine discovering a reel that makes you laugh, inspires you, or teaches you something new. Meta is building that future.
Creators on Facebook and Instagram now have access to bidirectional English-Spanish translation, so they can seamlessly translate their reels with Meta AI. With Hindi and Portuguese now available, it’s easier than ever to discover reels from creators around the world – and more languages are on their way!
The expansion marks another step forward toward our goal of making content accessible to everyone since we announced translations with Meta AI in 2024.
Inspired by Creators, Built for Community
The feedback we received from creators helped shape our work on translation features. Now, creators can translate and dub reels seamlessly, breaking down language barriers to reach a wider audience. Creators can now share their content across Instagram and Facebook with multilingual translations between English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi.
For Facebook creators with 1,000 followers or more, and for all public Instagram accounts in countries where Meta AI is available, translating reels is free.
How Translations With Meta AI Work
A creator’s voice is mimicked in Meta AI to translate reels, resulting in content that feels authentically like the creator, only in another language. Creators can also enable lip-syncing, which aligns the translated audio with the creator’s mouth movements, creating a more natural viewing experience.
Control Your Viewing Experience
Choosing the languages you see is vital to us, so we built controls that let you decide. Translated with Meta AI clearly labels every translated reel, so you always know when you’re watching translated content. In the three-dot settings menu, you can also turn translations on or off, or watch reels in their original language—select Don’t translate. You can manage your language preferences for Facebook and Instagram here.
Meta AI translations are just one way we’re connecting people around the world and bringing them the best content.
