These AI translations are available to Facebook creators with 1,000 or more followers and all public Instagram accounts globally, where Meta AI is offered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To access the option, creators can click on \u201cTranslate your voice with Meta AI\u201d before publishing their reel. Creators can then toggle the button to turn on translations and choose if they want to include lip syncing, too. When they click \u201cShare now\u201d to publish their reel, the translation will be available automatically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creators can view translations and lip syncs before they\u2019re posted publicly, and can toggle off either option at any time. (Rejecting the translation won\u2019t impact the original reel, the company notes.) Viewers watching the translated reel will see a notice at the bottom that indicates it was translated with Meta AI. Those who don\u2019t want to see translated reels in select languages can disable this in the settings menu. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1242\" height=\"954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/meta-ai-translation-notification.webp.jpeg\" alt=\"another screenshot from the new feature, showing how users can manage their voice translations\" class=\"wp-image-3037963\"  \/><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Meta<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creators are also gaining access to a new metric in their Insights panel, where they can see their views by language. This can help them better understand how their content is reaching new audiences via translations \u2014 something that will be more helpful as additional languages are supported over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNiviNpRbW5\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=5\" target=\"_blank\">recommends<\/a> that creators who want to use the feature face forward, speak clearly, and avoid covering their mouth when recording. Minimal background noise or music also helps. The feature only supports up to two speakers, and they should not talk over each other for the translation to work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, Facebook creators will be able to upload up to 20 of their own dubbed audio tracks to a reel to expand their audience beyond those in English or Spanish-speaking markets. This is offered in the \u201cClosed captions and translations\u201d section of the Meta Business Suite, and supports the addition of translations both before and after publishing, unlike the AI feature. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1410\" height=\"1006\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/reels-dubbed-translations.webp.jpeg\" alt=\"a screenshot showing how creators can add translated audio tracks to their uploaded videos.\" class=\"wp-image-3037961\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNiviNpRbW5\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\">says<\/a> more languages will be supported in the future, but did not detail which ones would be next to come or when.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe there are lots of amazing creators out there who have potential audiences who don\u2019t necessarily speak the same language,\u201d explained Instagram head Adam Mosseri, in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNiwWhoxhU0\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\">a post on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cAnd if we can help you reach those audiences who speak other languages, reach across cultural and linguistic barriers, we can help you grow your following and get more value out of Instagram and the platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch of the AI feature comes as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-08-19\/meta-restructures-ai-group-again-in-pursuit-of-superintelligence\" target=\"_blank\">multiple<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/08\/19\/technology\/mark-zuckerberg-meta-ai.html\" target=\"_blank\">reports<\/a> indicate that Meta is restructuring its AI group again to focus on four key areas, including research, superintelligence, products, and infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta is rolling out an AI-powered voice translation feature to all users on Facebook and Instagram globally, the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,18,877,19,876,17,1722,9638,1114,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-9857","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-facebook","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-instagram","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-meta","17":"tag-reels","18":"tag-social-media","19":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
