Real-time translation feature for Teams meeting
It would be great that Teams could implement a real-time translation for conversations in a meeting and captioning feature like the Presentation Translator add-in for PowerPoint. This feature would be useful to have a Teams meeting with users in other countries.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
We are working on the captioning feature.

Surprised. Product managers say they read the user voice comments but this one has no response since June 2019. A little courtesy please for an update on this feature?

It's been more than 600 days since this was commented on by Microsoft where you said you were "Working on it", Any chance we could get an update on progress, or expected release date?

This would be a powerful tool for ESL parents and students. Teachers could communicate with parents in their native language, a growing area of concern as we become more multicultural.

For those of us using external encoders (Wirecast) to run Teams Live Events, please make the solution to this available for this setup as well.

We have a global tenant with over 10,000 users, we collaborate with staff across other countries on a daily basis. Naturally we are experiencing a language barrier within teams meetings. A feature that would allow a participant to have translated closed captions in their own language would be a huge benefit. This feature already exists for Teams Live Events but we urgently need it for Teams Meetings.

real time translation (captions) is very much needed, my colleagues are speaking in German most of the times in the call, and if I have the live translated caption, I can understand what they are speaking
