Instagram will integrate a translator into its social network
It is inevitable to find content in English and many other languages on Instagram Even more so when this social network already has more than 500 million active users per month300 million of them are daily active Something that puts up barriers to communication, although a picture is always worth a thousand words. In any case, this language barrier will cease to be so during the next month thanks to the integration of its own translator.
This has been confirmed by the social network Instagram through a publication. In it they indicate that, from next month, users will come across a new function along with the usual photos and videos. This is the function See Translation, with which it will be possible to see the text of a user's profile or the description of a Content in our mother tongue or in the language that has been configured in the Settings menu of the application. Simple and effective so as not to miss any detail of everything that is published.
They will be translations created by machine Be understood as translations made by the Google Translator , although with the own system of Instagram in this case. This will give literal translations and perhaps inaccurate if the original sentence is not spelled correctly or idioms are used.Something that, for the moment, no translator has managed to overcome in a very efficient way, but which is effective for, at least, understandingder part of the content and generate a context richer for photo or video.
Instagram was one of the social networks that had yet to make the leap in terms of translations. And it is that Facebook and Twitter already had these tools for some time to satisfy the doubts of users when content is found in another language.
At the moment it is known that this button View Translation will appear next to content descriptions and user profiles, but not in comments, apparently. The good thing is that it won't be necessary to make any type of previous configuration or adjustment beyond pressing this new button to get the translation.Thus, this system will automatically detect the original language of the publication or profile, and the same with the language of the user to which it is going to translate. Therefore, a press displays the text in the language configured in the application so that it is understandable.
We will have to wait until July to see this function on Instagram, even without a specific date, since it is most likely that the feature lands progressively through different countries and markets. The positive thing is that it does not seem that there are limits on the languages to be translated, although Instagram has been very concise in terms of the explanations of this function. Therefore, we only have to wait a little longer to find out what is explained about a photograph or video in the description of accounts from other countries.
