This has happened to most of us. We stood baffled when our friend commented something under our post in his/her mother tongue. On Facebook, you get a life-jacket escape by pressing the facility to translate getting into action. What about Instagram Things have been not that too well so far. Though the business is all about photographs, the textual info does matter in some contexts. Here there is some light in sight. Instagram has laid out the plans for translation to be implemented in a month.

What appears to be the same technique behind parent company Facebook’s translate, there would be a built-in system doing auto-translation of foreign languages. When the feature turns active, captions and comments on posts in Feed stories and bio can be read with the help of a translation button. Wait. This is not final, there is something left. A result may not come for every language. Only those languages that are detected by Instagram will get translations. Buzz is that there will be support for 24 languages in the beginning.
