Hyderabad: Meta has updated its Meta AI translations feature. It now supports Hindi and Portuguese, along with English and Spanish. The feature, available on Facebook and Instagram, automatically translates, dubs, and lip-syncs Reels, allowing users to watch videos from around the world in their preferred languages.
The tech giant initially rolled out this AI-powered voice translation feature in August, allowing creators to translate their voice and also sync lip movements with the new audio.
The feature helps creators reach a wider audience that speaks a different language. Notably, AI-translated reels appear in users’ preferred language, along with a note mentioning that Meta AI has translated the reel.
The California-based company claims that the Meta AI translations use the creator’s sound and tone to mimic their voice. Moreover, the lip-syncing feature allows the creator’s mouth movements to be in alignment with the translated speech, making the translated audio seem natural and authentic. Creators can turn this feature on or off and review or remove the translations whenever they like.
Currently, the Meta AI translations will be able to translate reels in two languages: English and Spanish. This means that this AI tool will be able to convert reels with English conversations into Spanish and vice versa (English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English). Meta has stated that it will add more languages to the AI tool soon.
The Meta AI translations feature is available to all public Instagram accounts as well as Facebook creators with at least 1,000 followers.
How to use Meta AI Translations on Facebook
Step 1: Tap on ‘Translate your voice with Meta AI’, then go to the options to enable voice translation and lip synchronisation as desired. Note this must be done before publishing the reel.
Step 2: Click ‘Share Now’ to publish the reel that has been translated into English or Spanish.
Step 3: The translated reel can be previewed using the review toggle.
Step 4: Under the professional dashboard, the creator will get a notification to review, which can be approved or rejected, without affecting the original reel.
Once the translated reel has been published, creators can get a view breakdown by language, allowing them to see which language is viewed by their audience. This data will enable creators to enhance the translations in their reels.
Meta recommends that creators use the Meta AI translations feature mainly for face-to-camera videos to obtain the best results. A creator must face forward, speak clearly, and keep their mouth visible.
Facebook only supports AI translations for up to two speakers, and Meta suggests avoiding overlapping speech for a smoother and better AI translation. Additionally, keeping background music and noise to a minimum is said to allow the Meta AI translations to provide accurate translations.
Facebook users can also opt out of translations for specific languages by selecting "Don’t translate" in the audio and language section present within the three-dot settings menu.
The tech giant has also confirmed that creators with a Facebook page can upload up to 20 of their own dubbed audio tracks into a single reel for a wider audience. The tracks can be edited before and after publishing the reel. Once the reel has been published, viewers can see it in their chosen language, similar to the Meta AI translations.
