Reels AI Translation Now Supports More Indian Languages

Powered by Meta AI, Instagram now allows creators to translate and dub their Instagram and Facebook Reels into five additional Indian languages. These include Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi.

This way creators can make their content more accessible to diverse audiences across India while also extending their global reach.

The Reels dubbing and lip-sync feature currently supports the following languages –

• English
• Hindi
• Spanish
• Portuguese
• Bengali
• Tamil
• Telugu
• Kannada
• Marathi

Meta says the tool is designed to preserve the creator’s original voice and tone during translation. It also includes a lip-sync feature that matches the translated audio with mouth movements, helping maintain a natural and realistic visual experience.

New Indian Fonts Coming to Instagram Edits

Alongside Reels translation, Meta is introducing new fonts that support Devanagari and Bengali-Assamese scripts. These fonts allow creators to style text and captions in Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, and Assamese. The update is set to roll out on Android devices in the coming days.

How to use the new Indian fonts on Instagram?

To access the new fonts, creators can follow these steps –
