What to know

  • Google Meet can now translate spoken English into Spanish in real time during meetings.
  • This feature uses Gemini, Google's advanced AI model, to provide live translations.

  • Google plans to expand this feature to more languages in the future.

Google Meet has introduced a new feature that translates what you say in English into Spanish during video calls. This real-time translation uses Gemini, Google's artificial intelligence model, to generate live captions in Spanish as you speak.

When you use this feature, your spoken English is automatically transcribed and translated. The translated captions appear on the screen, making it easier for Spanish-speaking participants to follow the conversation. This can help teams and groups who speak different languages communicate more effectively during meetings.

Currently, the translation works from English to Spanish. Google has said it plans to add support for more languages in the future. The company aims to make meetings more accessible and inclusive for people around the world by breaking down language barriers.

This translation feature is available to users of Google Meet, and it is powered by the same AI technology that supports other Google products. You do not need to install anything extra to use it. The feature is designed to work smoothly within the existing Google Meet interface.

By providing live translations, Google Meet helps participants understand each other, even if they do not share a common language. This can be especially useful for international teams, classrooms, or any group with multilingual members.
