Instagram Adding A Translation Feature To Its Platform

Instagram is a photo sharing social media platform used around the world. This means that from time to time, users will come across posts that aren’t in their native language, although we suppose you could argue that a picture speaks a thousand words. However if you were after a thousand words and then some, there really wasn’t anything you could do.

Unlike Facebook, there was no option to translate the text on the screen into your native language, or at least until now. Instagram has announced that in the coming month, they will be rolling out a new translation feature that will allow users to translate posts and profiles into a language that you’re familiar with.

According to Instagram, “In the coming month, you’ll see a translation button on feed stories and profile bios written in languages different from your own. The Instagram community has grown faster and become more global than we ever imagined. And we’re excited that you’ll soon be able to understand the full story of a moment, no matter what language you speak.”

This feature has been a long time coming and one that we’re sure many users are probably going to appreciate, so keep an eye out for its release, which should be soon!
