Instagram Now in 25 Languages

We’ve got some exciting new things in store with this update: new and improved language translations, a new filter, and updates to address the feedback we’ve heard from you!

Translations for 25 Languages

Today, we’re introducing new and improved translations for 25 languages on Instagram! You can now navigate Instagram in your native language—on both mobile devices and the web—making it easier for anyone around the world to sign up for an account.

Enjoying photos on Instagram may not require written language, but translating Instagram helps all users understand how to use the product by explaining concepts like: following, liking, hashtags, photo maps & locations. We use very few words in our product, but when we do they’re very important words to understand. By introducing 25 new and improved languages, we can welcome even more international users into the Instagram community!

Supported Languages:

Afrikaans — Afrikaans

Chinese — 中文 & 台灣

Czech — Český

Danish — Dansk

Dutch — Nederlands

Finnish — Suomi

French — Français

German — Deutsch

Greek — Ελληνικά

Indonesian — Bahasa Indonesia

Italian — Italiano

iOS Version 3.4.1

In addition to 25 new and improved translations we’re introducing a beautiful new filter—Mayfair! This filter has a warm pink tone, subtle vignetting that brightens the center of the photograph, and a thin black border. Mayfair works great with evenly and well-lit scenes in conjunction with the Lux feature.

Instagram will now recognize if you’ve enabled Facebook integration with iOS 6, allowing people to easily sign up for an account or quickly connect an existing Instagram account with Facebook. This means you’ll no longer be brought to the Facebook app or a web-view to connect your account. Read more about this new feature in our Help Center.

We’ve also included the following updates based on your feedback:

The ability to select photographs from an album other than the Camera Roll.

Photos taken utilizing the front-facing camera will no longer be mirrored.

Fixed the inaccurate display of the privacy toggle switch present in version 3.4.

Fixed a bug that affected photo sharing for certain locales present in version 3.4.

Various bug fixes and improvements surrounding camera performance.

Android Version 3.4

In addition to 25 new and improved translations and the new Mayfair filter, the latest version of Instagram for Android allows Facebook Page moderators to connect and share directly to a brand page.

Note: iOS version 3.4.1 fixes a bug found in version 3.4 that displayed an inaccurate privacy toggle switch. It also fixes a bug that affected photo sharing for certain locales. Please update to version 3.4.1, released today (21 December), to resolve these issues.

Instagram version 3.4.1 is available for download in Apple’s App Store and Instagram version 3.4 is available for Android users in Google Play!

Leaving Instagram? You Might Wanna Leave Twitter Too

All around the net today are folks raising hell about the forthcoming update to Instagrams Terms of Use, scheduled to take effect January 16, 2013. People are expressing displeasure and even planning exoduses to other photo apps. What changes in the terms could have sparked this? Particularly, under the Rights section, changes in items #1 and #2 are the culprits. Under #1, declaring that Instagram has "a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license" is a notable change. But #2 is what has caught most of the attention. It includes:

...you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.

(Many took this to mean that Instagram would start selling our photos to advertisers, and Instagram has addressed that concern, amongst others.) Why does this all look so familiar? Ah yes, we've seen something very similar in the Twitter TOS that is currently in effect:

...you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such Content [your photos are part of that Content] in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed).... ...Such additional uses by Twitter, or other companies, organizations or individuals who partner with Twitter, may be made with no compensation paid to you with respect to the Content that you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Services."

We're just saying...
