Today we tell you in TuexpertoAPPS how to activate the translator on Twitter There are many occasions when we see an artist or celebrity from another country that is interesting to us but we hardly hear anything of what he tweets because we do not understand the language in which he writes. The opening of world phenomena such as South Korean K-Pop or Turkish soap operas have made thousands of Spanish-speaking fans swell the number of followers of their main stars.
The most staunch fans may find in this phenomenon a good motivation to start studying Korean or Turkish, but let's not kid ourselves, that is only reserved for a few brave ones.Fortunately, for some years now Twitter has included the Google translator service in its applications on both Android and iOS to help us.
Although this service was offered by Bing in the beginning, the state of development of the translators was not 100% reliable and many users chose to disable this functionin Twitter settings. Currently, it is Google that offers its automatic translation service, and their quality has increased remarkably.
Since last year, the translation is not only limited to tweets, but also shows you profile biographies in your language. In this way it will be easier for you to locate your favorite tweeter and know how he defines himself.
Don't get lost in translation when looking for accounts to follow on Twitter. Now on iOS and Android, a translation option will appear on profile bios that are in a different language than your language settings.Take a look, especially if you're into K-Pop ✌️ pic.twitter.com/yOiJk8zTWv
How to translate a tweet
Luckily we don't have to puzzle over how to translate a tweet When reading them on our timeline we won't see anything special, but if we go into it in detail and we can detect the function 'Translate this tweet'. In this way we only have to press to know its translation into Spanish (or the language in which you have configured your account). Don't worry if it's in a minority language either, as Google automatically detects them.
Twitter also lets you choose the languages in which you want to receive recommendations or trends. You just have to enter the main menu and in 'Settings and privacy' you will find the option 'Content preferences'.There, in the 'Languages' section, the 'Recommendations' option is available, in which you can configure the languages in which you want to receive information, so that the application begins to show you content in that language that suits your interests.
By default, the application detects the configuration of your mobile phone, so the default language is Spanish, something that you can also modify. This way you can make sure that you don't miss any noteworthy aspect of what's trending on Twitter, be it a trending topic, a thread or a video. The language barrier is increasingly insignificant on this social network.
Despite their obvious improvement, translators are still not 100% foolproof. To fix it, users can help Google. If a tweet has not been well translated, you can copy it in the original language, copy it to the Translator (outside Twitter) and click on the pencil icon, where you can propose your own translation , which will be reviewed by Google employees to improve the service.If a translation has a tick next to it, as in the image, it means that it has already been validated and accepted.
