Language barriers in international meetings are becoming less of a problem. Google Meet has announced a new feature that translates what is being said into the language of your choice in real time — and Turkish is among the supported languages.

The system runs on the Gemini 3.5 Live Translate infrastructure. The technology automatically detects the language being spoken and delivers the content in your chosen language both as text and as audio. In other words, you don't have to rely on reading subtitles; you can follow the translation by listening as well.

Each participant can pick their own language

To use the feature, you simply select the language you want to hear from the toolbar. The key detail here is that your preference doesn't affect other participants. Everyone in the meeting can follow the same conversation in the language they've chosen.

There's also the option to exclude languages you already know from translation. For example, if you understand English, you won't need translation for speech in that language. Subtitles synchronized with the audio are also displayed on screen, for those who want to read along while listening.

Time limits depend on your account type

Your account determines how much translation you can use. On basic Workspace plans and Google AI Pro subscriptions, there's a limit of 90 minutes per meeting. For those on the Google AI Ultra package, that can go up to 8 hours.

The rollout has begun on web, Android and iOS, but the feature isn't being switched on for all users at the same time. It is expected to reach compatible accounts by early November.
