Instagram already has more than two dozen language options including Chinese, Greek, Turkish, and Swedish, but those are are all read left to right, like English. Now the app will be compatible with languages written and read in the other direction.

Posts have already had Arabic and other right-to-left languages in the captions and on hashtags, but now the language settings will include that option within the framework of the app, so phrases like "Stories" and "Likes" will be in those languages.
