Facebook Translating Tool

Does anyone know if there is a stand-alone version of Facebook’s language translation tool, similar to Bing Translate and Google Translate?

The reason I ask is that I’d like to know how Facebook is rendering what I say in other languages before actually posting it. I’ve got connections from other countries whose English is minimal, and I try to run what I say through Bing/Google translators before posting it so that I can be sure the meaning therein will remain intact once they translate it over to their preferred language. Some meanings really do get “lost in translation”, depending on the language they're being converted over to.

Hence, my inquiry.

Sooooo.... no one knows, I take it?

No worries -- I had Googled about it previously and only found articles that left me with the general impression that Facebook uses some sort of AI hooziewhatsis to do the translating.

I figured it'd be worth a shot to ask, though!

I would assume not; most of Facebook's services are integrated directly in.

You could post it to yourself and just set the privacy so only you can see it. It's a very roundabout way, but it's an option.

That's a great idea! Thank you!

I just tried it, and, unfortunately, what I post remains as I've posted it regardless of what language I have the overall page in.
