Instagram adds a new feature: from now on, the social network detects the text in other languages that appears in the stories and translates it automatically . This new tool comes to expand the service's capacity to process publications in foreign languages.
It is worth remembering that Instagram already offered the possibility of translating the descriptions of the publications in the feed, the comments and the biography in the user profiles. However, the option to translate the text in the stories was a long-time debt and one that the public demanded.
According to The Verge, the new feature for translating Instagram stories is now available globally. The social network offers support for 90 languages and seeks to make it easier to share content with international audiences.
How to translate the text in the stories from Instagram?
Instagram's option to translate stories is really simple. When finding a publication in a foreign language, the social network will show the inscription “See translation” in the upper left corner of the screen.
Tapping on it displays a poster from the lower edge showing the original text with the detected language and the corresponding translation. Undoubtedly, it is a simple function but it helps to improve the user experience.
For now the new utility translates only the text in Instagram stories; there is no news regarding a similar alternative for audio . At least not yet. However, as the social network recently added the option to automatically transcribe stories in English, it would not be unusual for us to see some related utility in the future.
In recent times, Instagram has presented several news related to its stories. From the possibility of saving them as a draft to edit them later, to the option of adding links through a sticker, among others. Do you think that the option to automatically translate the text in Instagram stories is a good addition to simplify interaction with users from other countries?
