Huge problem of reel getting auto dubbed

Feature Request

I have an automation where if a short on YouTube gets posted, it is posted as a reel on Instagram. But on Instagram, the reel get auto dubbed on some other language.

The translation toggle is already off in the Instagram settings.

    Hi Heli,

    Thanks for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble.

    I checked your post. PostOnce uploads your original English audio, exactly as it is on YouTube.

    The dubbing comes from Instagram's Meta AI translation. It plays a translated voice to viewers who speak other languages.

    The setting you turned off (Audio and language) only changes what you hear, not what your audience hears.

    To stop it for your audience:

    1. Open the Reel on Instagram.

    2. Tap the ••• menu.

    3. Look for "Translations" or "Translate your voice with Meta AI".

    4. Turn it off.

    When you post directly in the Instagram app, you can also turn this off in the publish settings.

    Meta doesn't let scheduling tools control this setting yet, so it has to be done in Instagram.

    If the Reel is still dubbed after that, send me a screenshot of the Reel's menu and I'll look into it right away.

    Best,
    Nigel
