Every user should be able to access social platforms in their own language. Platforms like Threads make conversations more accessible due to their translation tools. Turning confusion, to conversation.
Social media platforms have become great at automatically translating tweets, comments, posts etc. However, these posts don’t always fully translate. Things can get missed, which can make it hard for people to engage with conversations.
Threads have a button allowing users to easily translate conversations into the language their account is set to. This is a great way of opening up communication worldwide. You can reach out to creators and individuals you’d otherwise be unable to speak to.
Having a translation tool makes connections easier to form. You’ll notice a small button underneath any thread posted. If you click on it, the original will appear with the translation underneath. Normally, you won’t even need to, as Threads do it for you.
How to translate threads
If a post hasn’t automatically translated. Simply click on the button in the bottom right corner, which looks like this . You’ll then see a translated version of the text appear straight away. From here, we’d encourage you to respond in your native language.
What a beautiful thing – to have a thread filled with different languages from across the world. All those people coming together to chat without barriers in their way. The world has come such a long way with the help of technology.
