New Delhi: Meta is now expanding its most popular and most used social media application, Instagram, by bringing Meta AI Voice translations in five Indian languages, as well as Indian fonts on Edits, to users in the country. It was announced at the House of Instagram event, which was in Mumbai. Instagram also confirmed that the users will now be able to leverage Meta AI to translate reels in five of the latest Indian languages, which include Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi. This newest feature was previously available for English, Hindi, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Instagram has officially released a press release in which they stated that, “Creators have the option to use Meta AI to transform their reels, so they sound and look fluent in some of the world’s most spoken languages, helping them to reach more people globally and grow an international audience. When turned on, the tool preserves the sound and tone of your voice, so your reels feel you authentically.”
The company also added that enabling a lip-syncing feature can match the translated audio to the user’s mouth movements, so it looks like they are actually speaking the language. In addition to the latest AI Voice Translations, Meta has also added Indian fonts on Instagram Edits. This means that the text/captions in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, and Assamese can be styled in the Devanagari and Bengali-Assamese scripts.
