You can share a post on Instagram in over 25 languages but they have all been left-to-right languages. This is no longer the case as the video and photo sharing platform has now announced that it has added Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi languages, all of which read right to left.
These languages, which will be available on the Android version of Instagram first. Like all other language options, everything besides your username will be translated.
Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger said that he is proud of their efforts to make the app one of the most inclusive and diverse platforms in the world.
His words: “With this update, we hope even more Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi speakers are able to use Instagram to connect with the people and interests that matter to them.”
Instagram isn’t the first social media app to add languages that read right to left. Twitter added Arabic and Farsi to its mobile website back in 2012, having already supported both languages — along with Hebrew and Urdu — on its main website.
