Translating Instagram Messages, Photos, and Videos: A Step-by-Step Guide
In a significant move to bridge language barriers on social media platforms, Kapwing, a popular online video and image editor, has introduced an AI-powered translation tool. This innovative feature allows users to easily translate Instagram videos, images, and captions into over 70 languages.
The tool, integrated into Kapwing's user-friendly editor, offers customisation options for font, colour, borders, and more, ensuring that translated content maintains the original visual design.
To translate an Instagram video, users simply upload it to Kapwing's Editor, select the 'Dub Video' option, and choose their desired translation language. For images with text, the process is equally straightforward: upload the image, navigate to AI Tools, select 'Translate Text', choose the target language, and tap 'Translate Text'.
Kapwing's AI-powered translation tool also includes smart features such as automatic emojis in subtitles, custom spelling options, and the Lip Sync tool, which adjusts lip movements to match dubbed audio. The Safe Zones feature helps keep important text and visuals visible within Instagram's interface, ensuring that translated content remains engaging and effective.
Simultaneous editing of multiple Instagram videos is possible with Kapwing, making it an ideal tool for content creators and businesses managing multiple social media accounts. The translated videos can be used on various platforms, including RedNote, a rapidly growing social media platform with a 70-80% Chinese-speaking user base.
Instagram has also introduced a new translation feature for messages within Direct Messages (DMs) on mobile devices. However, Kapwing's translation feature currently does not support translating outbound messages.
It is important to note that Kapwing's tool focuses on subtitling rather than voice dubbing. While it does not currently provide AI voice translation or dubbing for videos, it is optimised for short-form social content common on Instagram and platforms like TikTok or YouTube.
The process of translating content with Kapwing involves six simple steps: uploading the content, using the auto-captioning tool, selecting the target languages for translation, allowing Kapwing’s AI to translate the captions automatically, reviewing and editing captions for accuracy and style, and finally, exporting the final video with translated subtitles or exporting subtitle files separately.
In summary, Kapwing’s AI translation for Instagram content works by leveraging AI to generate and translate subtitles efficiently, making content accessible in many languages through auto-captions and subtitle translations built into its online video editor. This tool is set to revolutionise the way content creators and businesses approach multilingual content on Instagram and similar platforms.
The AI-powered translation tool offered by Kapwing not only caters to the diverse language needs of users on social media platforms but also integrates with entertainment by dubbing Instagram videos into over 70 languages. Additionally, this tool enhances the overall lifestyle by transcribing Instagram image captions, ensuring seamless communication across different languages on social media and entertainment platforms.
