Focusing on Indian creators, Instagram announced Reels AI translation to 5 Indian languages and new fonts last year at its exclusive ‘House of Instagram’ event in Mumbai. These two new features, announced back in November 2025, are now rolling out to everyone in the country.
Dub your Instagram/Facebook Reels in 5 more Indian languages
Powered by Meta AI, creators now get the ability to translate and dub their Instagram and Facebook Reels in five additional Indian languages: Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi. The new expansion allows creators to make content accessible in more Indian languages while reaching broader audiences globally.
Dub and lip-sync reels in these languages:
- English
- Hindi
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- Bengali
- Tamil
- Telugu
- Kannada
- Marathi
The tool preserves the creator’s voice and tone during translation. A lip-sync feature can align the translated audio with mouth movements to maintain a natural visual presentation.
New Indian Fonts on Instagram Edits
Meta is also introducing new fonts supporting Devanagari and Bengali-Assamese scripts, allowing creators to style text and captions in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, and Assamese. This update will roll out on Android in the coming days.
How to use these new Indian fonts?
- Open your editing timeline and select “Text” from the bottom toolbar.
- Tap the “Aa” icon to view available fonts.
- Devices set in Devanagari or Bengali-Assamese scripts will display these fonts by default. Other devices can swipe down in the “all fonts” tab to filter fonts by language.
Meta’s Suite of Creator Tools
Meta noted that these new updates follow a spree of other features launched in the past month to benefit creators. This includes the ability to:
- Restyle photos and videos in Instagram Stories
- Make edits—big or small—using Meta AI
- Bulk edit captions
- Reverse videos
- Use lip-sync to animate photos
- Access 400 additional sound effects
