Part 2: How to Translate Language on Xiaohongshu Posts?

After changing the language to English on the Xiaohongshu app, you will notice that many posts in your feed are still in untranslated Chinese. The reason is that the creator of that video or post made it in Chinese. However, thanks to the recently added AI translation feature in the RedNote app, you can see the translation of each post. After changing the app language to English, wherever there is a comment or post in Chinese, there will be a translation option. Just tap on it and you will immediately see it in English.
