How to Turn Off Automatic Translations on Facebook Posts

Millions of people all over the world are connecting all the time thanks to global social media platforms like Facebook. Now, people from opposite corners of the earth can receive real-time messages and share memories.

With more and more people around the world using Facebook, it is no wonder that the social media giant integrates a lot of languages in its platform. That being said, it is often annoying, or sometimes funny, to see posts on your News Feed translated to another language. Posts that are meant in one way end up translated to another meaning, which messes it up instead of helping.
