At E / S 2025, Google announced that Meet obtains a vocal translation capacity in real time, which is like having a real human interpreter in the call.
Meet already offering text legends that can be translated in real time. The translation of the Word goes further, with Google translating “your words pronounced in the favorite language of your listener”.
Linguistic differences are a fundamental obstacle to connection with other people – which you work in all regions or simply chat with the family abroad.
For example, if you speak Spanish, the other person will hear English who preserves your voice, including tone, intonation and emotion. Meanwhile, you will hear what they say in Spanish.
This happens in “real time, with a low latency”, in order to allow a free flow conversation. You will first hear the original language / speech, but it will be quite weak, before the translated version arrives. Officially, Google notes how “the translation will lead to delays in the conversation”.
This is powered by a large -language audio model from Google Deepmind. Trained and built on audio data, Audiolm performs direct audio-audio transformations. This allows him to preserve as much from the original audio as possible.
In the upper right corner of Google Meet on the web, you can access a panel “Vocal translation with Gemini” to specify the “language you speak in this call” and “the language you prefer to hear”. The entire video flow will get a glow of Gemini and “translate (tongue)” in the area.
In particular, the translation of speech will start to deploy in beta version for consumers from today as part of the new Google AI Pro and ultra plans. Available on the web, only one participant in the call must be subscribed to the translation of speech at work. English and Spanish are supported at the moment, with the Italian, the German and the Portuguese in the “weeks to come”.
Google plans to bring this to businesses with “early tests to come to customers of the workspace this year”.
