Well, that depends on your preference. It automatically translates your posts if they&#8217;re written in a language other than English. You can change this settings and have the translations be in your preferred language. But if you&#8217;d prefer not to use it, you can change the settings yourself. You can choose the language you want and edit it if you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Artificial_intelligence_powers_Facebooks_in-line_translations\"><\/span>Artificial intelligence powers Facebook&#8217;s in-line translations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The company has developed an AI-based automatic translation system that helps its 800 million monthly users. In addition to its proprietary technology, Facebook is also using a new machine translation model, dubbed M2M-100, to improve the quality of translations. Most traditional multilingual translation models train on English to Chinese and French translations, but Facebook has said this new approach will improve the quality of all translations.<\/p>\n<p>While it might not replace human translators immediately, AI is expected to take more jobs over the next decade. That&#8217;s why businesses should harness AI and apply it to their business practices to become more efficient. I&#8217;m a tech writer and software developer who previously worked as a lead programmer for an experiential branding company serving clients like Netflix and Samsung. While there are many advantages to this method, it can&#8217;t replace human translators, which are a necessity in many situations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_understands_each_users_situation_and_habits\"><\/span>It understands each user&#8217;s situation and habits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To maximize privacy settings on Facebook, users should understand its processes and what it collects. Facebook&#8217;s systems are sophisticated enough to shape your opinions without you knowing. These systems are composed of a variety of tools that track your activity both on and off Facebook. If you&#8217;re wondering how Facebook understands your habits and situation, read on to discover what Facebook is doing to track you. Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_doesnt_have_a_See_Translation_button\"><\/span>It doesn&#8217;t have a See Translation button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might have noticed that when you are posting a comment on Facebook, you can&#8217;t see the original post in your native language. This is a problem with Facebook&#8217;s translation feature, which is supposed to be easy to use. However, many people have complained about the difficulty of using the feature. That&#8217;s where See Translation comes in handy. You can turn on the feature in Settings. When you do, you&#8217;ll see the option at the bottom right corner of the post.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t see the &#8220;See Translation&#8221; button, you can enable automatic translation for posts. To do this, access your Facebook account through a web browser. Click the arrow-shaped button at the upper-right corner of the blue bar. Next, select the Settings menu. You will see a list of languages you can translate posts. Then, select the language you want to see.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_not_easy_to_turn_off\"><\/span>It&#8217;s not easy to turn off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a native English speaker and would like your posts to be translated automatically, you can disable Facebook&#8217;s translations by adding your native language to your profile settings. To do this, log in to Facebook and select Settings &amp; Privacy. Scroll down to Language and region and click Edit. Once there, select your language and click Save. Once you&#8217;ve done this, your posts will no longer be automatically translated.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook lite users may not have this option at all. It&#8217;s possible to turn off this feature, but it&#8217;s not always obvious how to do so. There&#8217;s an option to &#8220;disable automatic translation&#8221; at the top-right corner of the app. Then, scroll down to the Language and Region menu and click &#8220;Language you don&#8217;t want translated&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"403\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zRMUCHeqgw4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does Facebook Automatically Translate Posts?
