Facebook posts in multiple languages

English may be one of the most popular languages in the world but not everyone understands it or feels comfortable with it. While your metal fans in Sweden and Norway will not have a problem understanding your posts, there’s a huge metal audience in Mexico, Chile, and Brazil.

If you want a better engagement from these countries, try writing your posts in their native languages.

Luckily, Facebook allows you to post one message in multiple languages. The correct version will show up based on the user’s language settings. This way you can write a single post that will be both readable in English and Spanish. Here’s how to enable that:

  1. In top-right corner of your page, click ‘Settings’ -> ‘General’
  2. Find ‘Post in multiple languages’ and enable it
  3. From now on, when you post, there is an additional option called ‘Write post in another language’

 

 

And that’s it!

Well, almost. You might have noticed that Facebook automatically translates your post but keep in mind that not only the translation might not work well, Spanish in Mexico and Chile is different than in Spain, just as Portuguese in Brazil slightly differs from the one in Portugal.

If you don’t have a native speaking friend to review your messages, you can always find somebody on Fiverr.com.
