### Breaking Down the Translation Process

The Meta AI translation tool preserves your authentic voice while making content accessible across linguistic boundaries. Creators can enable lip-syncing to ensure translated videos appear natural, with mouth movements matching the dubbed audio perfectly.

This technology addresses a crucial need for India’s diverse creator economy, where content creators often struggle to reach audiences beyond their regional language base. The feature rolls out globally today after its November 2025 announcement.

### Native Script Support Arrives on Edits

To use Indian fonts: navigate to “Text” in the editing timeline, tap the “Aa” icon, and filter fonts by language. The update launches on Android in the coming days.
