Facebook
is currently testing a translation tool to automatically translate posts into
languages preferred by users.
Earlier this year,
the company had made its "multilingual composer" tool available on
Pages and is now rolling it out for general users.
"Page authors
and other people on Facebook can compose a single post in multiple languages,
and the viewers who speak one of those languages will see the post in their
preferred language only - allowing people to more easily interact with their
diverse audiences," Facebook said.
Such a tool is
important for the world's biggest social network, because half of Facebook's
1.5 billion users speak in languages other than English.
Facebook will keep
into account the locales designated in the settings and the languages users
routinely use, to determine which language to use for posts.
Facebook
plans to use multilingual posts to improve machine translation capabilities
with the aim of one day removing language barriers across the social network.
