Facebook has a complete translator that translates texts written in another language into the user’s language, but there will be those who prefer to do without this option and it is not difficult to achieve it.
Facebook automatically translates texts in other languages but allows you to disable this option to see the original content
A long time ago, more than five years ago, Facebook accelerated its automatic translation system so that it was up to 30 times faster , thereby ensuring that language does not become a barrier, with success rates of around 95%. But despite this, some users prefer to avoid these automatic translations for various reasons, such as practicing those languages. Fortunately, Facebook’s automatic translator can be disabled.
- To achieve this, simply access the corresponding menu from the icon with a gear that appears in the texts where this automatic translation option has been activated. Next to this icon appears the warning “See original”, in addition to allowing you to rate the translation .
- By clicking on this icon, the menu appears where the translation can be rated with up to five stars and where automatic translation can be configured, being able to further adjust the way in which they are carried out through the “Language configuration” option . In this section you can choose between three different alternatives:
- -The language to which you want the texts to be translated.
- -In which language do you prefer that the option to carry out the translation does not appear.
- -The languages in which it is preferred to leave the content in the original format, without automatic translation being carried out.
To do this, the name of the language must be added in the box for this purpose, which will be detected by the menu through an automatic completion. Once the configuration is finished, it is enough to activate it by confirming the “Save changes” button.
