Meta adds AI translation for ad copy and creative
Meta is adding AI-generated translation of ad text and creatives into the languages that an advertiser's audience speaks, as flagged by Bram Van der Hallen. If advertisers do not review the relevant settings, Meta may automatically translate their copy and creative, which risks off-brand or inaccurate wording reaching audiences in other languages without explicit sign-off.
What changed
The feature extends Meta's automation deeper into creative, where the convenience of automatic localisation must be weighed against the loss of control over precise messaging.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means Meta may auto-translate your ads unless you check the settings. Worth reviewing the translation controls on every account now and deciding deliberately whether to allow automatic translation or keep the copy under manual control.
