Instagram Now in 25 Languages
We’ve got some exciting new things in store with this update, including new and improved language translations, a new filter and the ability to share to Facebook Pages from an Android device!
Translations for 25 Languages
Today, we’re introducing new and improved translations for 25 languages on Instagram! Many more users can now navigate Instagram in their native language—on both mobile devices and the web—making it easier for anyone around the world to sign up for an account.
The additional language support makes it easier for both global brands and for local businesses to interact with followers around the world. Although Instagram photos themselves speak every language, translating the application helps all users understand how to use the product by explaining concepts like: following, liking, hashtags, photo maps & locations. By introducing 25 new and improved languages, we can welcome even more international users into the Instagram community!

In addition to 25 new and improved translations, we’re introducing a beautiful new filter—Mayfair! This filter has a warm pink tone, subtle vignetting that brightens the center of the photograph, and a thin black border. Mayfair works great with evenly and well-lit scenes in conjunction with the Lux feature.
Instagram will also recognize if you’ve enabled Facebook integration with iOS 6 now, allowing people to easily sign up for an account or quickly connect an existing Instagram account with Facebook. This means you’ll no longer be brought to the Facebook app or a web-view to connect your account. Read more about this new feature in our Help Center.
We’ve included the following updates based on your feedback, as well:
- Photos taken utilizing the front-facing camera will no longer be mirrored
- The ability to select photographs from an album other than the Camera Roll
- Various bug fixes and improvements surrounding camera performance
Android
In addition to 25 new and improved translations and the new Mayfair filter, the latest version of Instagram for Android allows Facebook Page moderators to connect and share directly to a brand page from their Android device.
Instagram version 3.4 is available for download in Apple’s App Store and Google Play today!
