Facebook will now automatically translate posts into different languages
Facebook has begun testing a translation tool which will automatically let your posts to be displayed in languages which the user preferred.
The social media giant had first made the “multilingual composer” tool available earlier this year for the use on pages representing brands, companies, celebrities and groups through its Pages service.
But now this service will be available to general users.
More than half of Facebook’s 1.5 billion users worldwide usually speaks a language other than English, the social network said.
Facebook will use to determine which language to use for the posts which is included in locales designated in account settings and which languages does the users routinely use for their posts.
The social media will use multilingual posts to further improve machine translation capabilities with an aim of one day removing the language barriers across the social network.
