Meta AI lets creators translate and dub Reels for more global reach
Meta AI has added Hindi and Portugese to Reels translations, with more languages on the way.
Meta has announced the expansion of its Reels translation tools so creators can share their videos with even larger international audiences. The company has added Hindi and Portuguese to its Meta AI translation features, joining English and Spanish. That means creators who already create and share short-form video can now make their reels even more discoverable and watchable in more countries.
The new feature builds on Meta’s goal of making content more accessible across languages and cultures. As the company explained, “Imagine discovering a reel that makes you laugh, inspires you, or teaches you something new, no matter where it was created or what language it was filmed in. That’s the future we’re building at Meta.”
Meta AI works by mimicking the sound and even tone of a creator’s voice, producing a translated version that still sounds like them. Creators can also enable the lip sync feature, which automatically aligns the translated audio with their mouth movements, keeping the video natural and engaging.
The feature is completely free for Facebook creators with 1,000 or more followers, and available to all public Instagram accounts in countries where Meta AI is supported. This accessibility is great news for creators looking to expand internationally, offering a simple way to connect with more viewers and grow their presence in global Reels markets.
Other platforms have been promoting improved access to global reach for content creators as well. Recently, YouTube launched multi-language audio support for creators, allowing them to upload multiple audio tracks within one video so global fans can choose their preferred language. Meanwhile, Spotify introduced an AI-powered voice translation tool that replicates a podcaster’s or artist’s own voice when translating speech into other languages.
For viewers, Meta’s update also provides control and transparency. Every translated reel will include the label “Translated with Meta AI”, and users can decide whether to watch the translated version or the original by selecting their preferences in the language settings.
With AI tools like these, creators can share content that resonates beyond borders. Whether you make music, video, or short-form content, technology like Meta AI is helping everyone find new audiences around the world.
