Very soon, you will be able to get connected with the global audience via social networking platform Facebook. Posts you make will get translated in many languages. A software tool will handle this job of translation. And these translated posts will be visible to those who have selected the same as their preferred language.
How it works?
Make your posts and choose from the dropdown menu. This consists of over 45 varied languages from French to Filipino and Lithuanian, according to recent reports.
This multilingual composer is currently getting tested with small users now. At present, about 5000 Facebook pages make use of this network all of which are for businesses and brands. The same will be tested in wider social network soon.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) gets used here for prefilling translation field for translating the posts done in varied languages. This will have access to user location, language preferences and the most common language used on Facebook to decide the version in which messages need to be shown.
Facebook reports state that about 1.65 billion users speak in English. This move by Facebook is likely to let people spend a lot more time on the platform.
