If you find Google's live translation tools useful, you'll soon be able to
use them more naturally during video calls and meetings. The company
announced today that it's bringing the feature to Google Meet. Starting this
week, AI-powered, real-time Spanish translation will be available in the app.
Google says more languages are on the way and that the technology is "very,
very close to having a natural and free-flowing conversation."

During a brief demo, live translation in Meet matched the speaker's tone and
cadence, and was even able to channel expressions. There's no doubt this will
be useful for many people, especially on work calls with colleagues in other
countries. Live translation will allow everyone to speak in the language
they're most comfortable with, and the technology will do the heavy lifting.
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.

Starting today, live translation in Google Meet will be available to Google
AI Pro and Ultra plans in beta. The company says the new features will be
available for enterprise users later this year as part of an "early testing"
phase.
