Earlier, when we used to see an X post with another language, there was an option to translate the post. Today, X’s head of product, Nikita Bier, announced that the company is rolling out an auto-translate feature worldwide to give posts in any language global reach on X.

It is revealed that the auto-translate feature is powered by Grok, and over the last couple of months, the accuracy of this feature has improved substantially. In case you prefer to read in the original language, you can always turn off auto-translate by tapping the gear icon.
Further in the comment section, it is revealed that users can also customise language preferences in the auto-translate feature via the gear icon.
Last month, Nikita Bier termed the rollout of this feature as the largest cultural exchange in history, as it tears down language barriers for billions, letting global ideas, news, and memes flow freely across the world.
This will help in increasing the global reach of posts without involving a language barrier. Various people on the X platform have noticed that they have seen a surge in Japanese-translated posts on their feeds.
