Meta introduces a voice translation function powered by AI for all users on Facebook and Instagram around the world, the company announced On Tuesday.
A new feature, which is available on every market where Meta AI is available, allows creators to translate content into other languages so that they can be viewed by a wider audience.
The function was announced for the first time at the Meta Connect Developer conference last year, where the company said that it was piloting automatic translations of the creators' votes in roller skates both on Facebook and Instagram.
Meta notes that AI translations use the sound and tone of the creator's own voice so that the voice called the voice sounds authentic when translating the content into a new language.
In addition, the creators can optionally use the synchronization function of lip to level the translation to lip movements, which makes it seem more natural.
During the premiere, the function supports English translations to Spanish and vice versa, from more languages that should be added over time. These AI translations are available to Facebook creators with 1000 or more observers and all public Instagram accounts around the world, in which meta AI is offered.
To access the option, the creators can click “translate your voice meta AI” before publishing the reel. The creators can then switch the button to turn on the translations and choose whether they also want to include lip synchronization. After clicking “Share now” to publish your roll, the translation will be available automatically.
The creators can view the translations and synchronization of the lips before they are published publicly and can turn off any option at any time. (Rejection of the translation will not affect the original roll, the company notices.) Viewers watching the translated reel will see the notification at the bottom, which indicates that it has been translated into a meta AI. Those who do not want to see translated drums in selected languages can turn this off in the settings menu.
The creators also gain access to the new record in their Insights panel, where they can see their views by language. This can help them better understand how their content reaches new recipients through translations – something that will be more helpful, because additional languages will be supported over time.
Finish recommended Creators who want to use this function forward say clearly and avoid covering the lips during recording. The minimum background or music sound also helps. This function supports only two speakers and should not talk about themselves to make the translation work.
In addition, Facebook creators will be able to send to 20 their own sound names to the reel to expand the recipients outside those in English or Spanish markets. This is offered in the “Closed signatures and translations” Meta Business Suite and supports the addition of translations both before publishing and after release, as opposed to AI.
Meta claims that more languages will be supported in the future, but not described in detail which will be next to future or when.
“We believe that there are many amazing creators who have potential recipients who do not necessarily speak the same language,” explained the head of Instagram Adam Mosseri Post on Instagram. “And if we can help you reach recipients who speak other languages, reach cultural and language barriers, we can help you increase the following actions and get more value from Instagram and Platform.”
Launching the AI function appears as many Reports Indicate that the meta restructures its AI group to focus on four key areas: research, superintelligence, products and infrastructure.
