Meta’s AI Voice Translation Reaches Global Creators
Meta is now rolling out a game-changing tool for creators on Facebook and Instagram: AI-powered voice translation for Reels. This feature, available globally wherever Meta AI is offered, lets creators translate their reels between English and Spanish—and sound like themselves while doing it.
How It Works: Your Voice, but in Another Language
Authentic voice dubbing: The AI uses your voice’s tone and pitch to generate the translated version. No robotic overlays here.
Optional lip-sync: Choose to match your mouth movements to the translated audio for a more natural feel.
Quick toggle & preview: Before publishing, hit “Translate your voice with Meta AI,” preview with or without lip-sync, adjust as needed, and share. Your original reel stays intact if you reject the translation.
Who Can Use It?
- Facebook: Creators with 1,000+ followers
- Instagram: All public accounts (where Meta AI is available)
Once published, viewers will see whichever language matches their settings, and each translated reel is clearly labeled “Translated with Meta AI.” You can even disable translations for specific languages via your preferences.
Insights That Matter
Meta has also added a useful feature to your Insights tab: views by language. Now you can track how effectively your translated reels are reaching new audiences around the world.
Tips for Best Results
Film facing the camera and speak clearly.
Avoid covering your mouth or using loud background noise.
If two people appear, don’t talk over each other—it can confuse the AI.
More Ways to Reach Multilingual Fans
If you want greater control, Facebook creators can upload up to 20 custom dubbed audio tracks via the Business Suite. This option works before or after posting and supplements the AI translation feature.
Why It Matters (and What’s Next)
As Instagram head Adam Mosseri said:
“If we can help you reach audiences who speak other languages… we can help you grow your following.”With more languages set to roll out in the future, this tool could give creators everywhere a powerful bridge across cultural and linguistic gaps. It’s a smart, scalable way to expand your global reach—without hiring voiceover actors or spending hours on localization.
