Meta has announced an expansion of its AI translation capabilities on Facebook and Instagram, introducing a feature that automatically dubs user-generated reels into different languages. This innovative tool aligns the dubbed audio with the original voice and lip movements, enhancing the viewing experience for users across language barriers.
Currently, the translation option supports English and Spanish, enabling users to seamlessly switch between the two languages. To activate the feature, users can simply select the Translate voices with Meta AI option from the menu that appears prior to publishing their reels on both platforms. Additionally, users can opt for lip-syncing to be included in their dubbed videos, with a preview available before final publication.
The platforms will also highlight translated reels for users based on their language preferences, and each video will be labeled to indicate it has undergone translation via Meta AI. This feature is currently being made available to Facebook creators with a follower count of at least 1,000 and to all public accounts on Instagram.
