Translation option in Instagram bio makes your profile remarkably unique and increases the interaction rate of the visitors. It also enables you to attract a broader range of multilingual audience globally.

“See translation” option is automatically added to your bio by Instagram for people of other region or language. Other users will see translation option if they are using Instagram in different language as compared to your Instagram bio language. Whenever they visit your account, Instagram will offer “See translation” option under your bio.

But you cannot see “See translation” option on your personal Instagram profile because it is only available on other peoples’ profile.             

Add translation in Instagram bio

In this blog I have provided some insightful methods and understanding to enable translation option in Instagram bio. 

How to add translation option in Instagram bio?

Enable “See translation” option

I always use this method to enable the “See translation” option for my followers. You can enable it easily as per following steps:

  • Open your Instagram profile
  • Click on your profile picture at the bottom right corner 
  • Tap on “Edit Profile” which is located just below your bio description
  • Go to bio
  • Add your favorite bio in your preferred language 
  • Tap on the tick option to save changes
  • That’s it. You have enabled the “see translation” option for other language Insta users 

Remember that “See translation” option will appear only for users who are using Instagram in any other language than your one.

For example, if someone’s bio is in English and you are also using Instagram in English language then “See translation” option won’t be available. Instagram will consider that you are fluent in English and don’t need translation.

But if someone has written their bio in language other than English, then Instagram will provide “translation” option to other users in their language, mostly in English.

It is also necessary to note that bio should be written within the range of languages that Instagram does support.
