Google Meet expands language support for closed captioning and translated captions
What’s changing
To make Google Meet more inclusive, we’ve expanded support for closed captioning to include the following languages:
- French Canadian (web only, support for mobile coming soon)
- Indonesian
- Polish
- Romanian
- Thai
- Turkish
- Vietnamese
We’ve also added additional languages for translated captions. You can now translate meetings spoken in English into: Dutch, Indonesian, Turkish, and Vietnamese
Note: the newly supported languages will be denoted with a “beta” tag as we continue to optimize performance.
Additional details
We’ve also removed the “beta” tag from the following closed caption languages, as they have been validated and are out of beta:
- Dutch
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Portuguese
