TLDR : Answer Summary

Many users have reported intermittent issues with Facebook's translation feature, particularly when converting Thai to English. Comments indicate that this problem is not exclusive to Thai; users have noticed similar issues with other languages like French and German. Some suggest using Google Translate as an alternative when Facebook fails to provide translations. The consensus is that these translation issues appear to be temporary glitches.

It’s really strange.

Now some posts can be translated and some cannot.

(Not # posts either….those remain a mystery)

Glad it is not just me and thanks as I thought it was my apps. For me some are translating but the majority are not 🥲

I think you could be right as that is what I have to do but a tad annoying.

I get exactly the same. Sometimes can get a translation, sometimes not. What I find is you get the message translation not available. But then you can manually copy and paste the text into Google translate and it then gives the translation. This makes me think it is Facebook and not Google which is controlling this. But I could be totally wrong.

Yeah it seems to be more than just Thai that there is an issue with, French, Burmese and German I have seen today that won't do it.

Instagram and Facebook have been spotty for the last 2-3 days. I'd say it won't translate about 80% of the things I click translate on.
