Common questions
How do I translate Instagram DMs?
Install Swift Translate and drag its floating bubble over any message in your Instagram DMs — the translation appears in place. You can also reply in your language and send in theirs.
Can Instagram translate messages by itself?
Yes. Under a comment or caption, tap "See translation"; in a DM, press and hold the message and tap Translate. Instagram translates one item at a time, only into the app’s language, and it doesn’t translate what you write. Swift Translate translates any DM, comment, caption, or bio in 100+ languages, sends your replies in their language, and its Chat Mode shows a whole DM conversation in your language. See how to translate Instagram DMs, step by step.
Does it work on comments and captions?
Yes. Anything visible on the screen can be translated: comments, captions, bios, and stories with text.
