Facebook Makes Translation Available To All Pages
Facebook has made it possible for people to translate individual posts on pages into another language, using a tool from Bing.
Facebook has made it possible for people to translate individual posts on pages into another language, using a tool from Bing.
Individual users have to install Bing Translate. Once they do, they can get translations only on pages that have enabled all modes of translation within the settings panel. Admins, if you don’t have this set up already, click on “edit page,” then “your settings,” and within the “translations from” area, select “admin, community and machine translators.”
Public posts on pages that have the translations enabled will have a “translate” link located between the words “comment” and “share.”
This improvement for pages comes in time for Facebook’s next phase of growth, likely to occur more outside of the U.S.
