Google Meet tests live translated captions for meetings in English

Google Meet wants to make it easier for those conducting video conferences with foreign clients, students, partners, and the like. The company is testing out live translated captions, which is an improvement from the standard live captions. The test is being conducted initially in meetings done in English with the ability to translate this into Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese.

This feature is also only available for meetings organized by Google Workspace Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Teaching & Learning Upgrade users. 

The admins who want to try this out will have to apply for access. And then, you can enable it through the Captions option in the Settings. Set it to English before toggling on Translated Captions underneath. You can then select one of the translated language options.

Google didn't specify whether it was working on offering this option for meetings conducted in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German. The feature is still in beta, so we'll wait for any updates on this feature.
