Google Meet's AI Translator Speaks Your Language

Google Meet has officially rolled out its AI-powered Speech Translation feature, moving beyond its initial testing phase. This technology provides real-time voice translations, utilizing AI to replicate the speaker's voice for a more natural experience.

The feature was first announced in May and was previously restricted to specific AI subscription tiers and alpha testers. As of January 27, 2026, it is now available for Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, and Frontline Plus Workspace customers. Additionally, Business and Education subscribers can access it by purchasing AI Pro or AI Ultra as an add-on.

Users can enable Speech Translation from the Meeting Tools menu. Attendees can then activate translated audio via an icon on their screen. Currently, the feature supports translations between English and Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. A limitation is that only one language pair can be active per meeting, and it is exclusively available on desktop platforms. Google plans to introduce support for Android and iOS devices in the coming months.

This new speech translation capability builds upon Google Meet's existing live subtitle translation, which has been available since 2022.
