Meta Rolls Out AI Translation for Five Indian Languages on Instagram and Facebook
Meta has significantly expanded its artificial intelligence translation capabilities on Instagram and Facebook. The company now offers AI-powered translation for Reels in five major Indian languages.
New Language Support for Reels
Users can access Meta AI to translate their Reels into Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi. This expands the existing support for Hindi, English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The feature allows creators to transform their content so it appears fluent in these widely spoken languages.
The translation tool preserves the original sound and tone of the creator's voice. This maintains authenticity while making content accessible to broader audiences. Users can also enable a lip-syncing feature that matches translated audio with mouth movements.
Introduction of New Indian Fonts
Meta has introduced new Indian fonts for creators on both platforms. Users can now style text and captions using Devanagari and Bengali-Assamese scripts. These fonts work with languages including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, and Assamese.
The font update will roll out on Android devices in the coming days. To access these fonts:
- Go to the "Text" option in your editing timeline.
- Click on the "Aa" icon to see available fonts.
- If your device uses Devanagari or Bengali-Assamese scripts, these fonts will appear by default.
- Otherwise, swipe down in the "all fonts" tab to filter by language.
Background and Additional Features
Meta first announced this update in November 2025. The complete feature set for translating, dubbing, and lip-syncing Reels into more Indian languages becomes available to all users today.
This launch follows several recent updates aimed at creators. Previous enhancements include:
- Restyling photos and videos in Instagram Stories using Meta AI
- Bulk editing captions in Edits
- Reversing videos
- Using lip sync to animate photos
- Access to 400 additional sound effects
These developments help creators reach global audiences and grow their international following. The AI translation feature specifically enables content to resonate with viewers across different linguistic backgrounds.
