Meta has rolled out its AI-powered translation tools globally for creators on Facebook and Instagram. The feature debuts with support for English and Spanish. There are plans to add more languages over time.

The company announced this new feature in a blog post, while explaining that Meta AI translations is a free tool that once enabled automatically dubs and lip sync reels into another language. With Meta AI translations, users can speak to viewers in their own language, opening up their content to new audiences.

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.

To access the option, creators can click on “Translate your voice with Meta AI” 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 “Share now” to publish their reel, the translation will be available automatically.

Viewers watching the translated reel will see a notice at the bottom that indicates it was translated with Meta AI. Those who don’t want to see translated reels in select languages can disable this in the settings menu.

 The feature was first announced at Meta’s Connect developer conference last year, where the company said it would pilot test automatic translations of creators’ voices in reels across both Facebook and Instagram.
