Google brings live translation to Meet, starting with Spanish

Near-real-time, live translation is available in Google Meet without the need to rely on captions.

If you find Google's live translation tools useful, you'll soon be able to use them more naturally during video calls and meetings. During a brief demo, live translation in Meet matched the speaker's tone and cadence, and was even able to channel expressions. Before now, you had to rely on live captions in Google Meet to do any translation, so not having to read those will allow users to be more in-tune with the conversation.
