Speech translation in Google Meet is now rolling out to mobile devices
Following our recent general availability launch for web, we are excited to announce that speech translation is now rolling out to the Meet Android and iOS apps. The feature allows audio to be translated to other languages in near-real-time, helping global teams communicate more naturally and removing language barriers.
More details
- Language support: The feature supports bidirectional translation between English and Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian.
- Single language pair per meeting: Currently, only one language pair (e.g., English <-> Spanish) can be active in a meeting at a time.
- Meeting room hardware: Users in conference rooms can hear translations but their own speech will not be translated.
- Ongoing improvements: Users can expect visual updates to the user interface, as well as refinements to translation accuracy and nuance.
Getting started
- Admins: Speech translation will be ON by default and can be disabled/enabled at the organizational unit (OU) level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Speech translation on or off for Meet.
