Facebook users can post statuses in 45 languages ​​simultaneously.

Facebook currently has 1.65 billion members globally, and the social network wants to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to help people communicate and understand each other more easily.

Last weekend, Facebook introduced a new software program capable of automatically translating posts into various languages. Specifically, after composing a status update, caption for photos, videos, etc., users can click the arrow on the right, pointing down to a list to select a language to translate the content into (up to 45 languages).

User status can be displayed in multiple languages ​​simultaneously.

This translation software has only been tested on a small group of users and on approximately 5,000 pages.

Facebook says that half of its members speak a language other than English, equivalent to 25 million posts per day. The new tool will integrate artificial intelligence to analyze and predict which languages ​​users want to add. The software also leverages information such as members' geographic location and the primary languages ​​they use when sharing.

AI is a hot topic in Silicon Valley. Google is betting its future on investing in and integrating artificial intelligence into all its products. Microsoft and Facebook are also researching chatbots that interact intelligently with users.
