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.

This feature would make a huge difference to students with ESL doing distance learning. It is difficult enough in class but online is nearly impossible for them.

I agree with JP Eymard , if you had an idea on how to at least type manually the translated bits of a teams meeting during a meeting it would be very useful in international meetings as it would avoid the interruption of a translator.
Thank you -

Looking very hard for the implementation. Translator is great, but useless as a quasi chatroom...

Hello, as the last message from Microsoft is June 2019, it's seems this topic is not a priority for them !
Is there anyone who knows another option, third party tool to real time translate conference calls on your laptop. My counterpart are often speaking German during meetings, and i would like to have a least a text translation of what i hear in my headset on my laptop screen.
Thank you -

It would be very cool if the captioning feature could translate the conversation to the users preferred language. I use Teams a lot with colleagues who speak different languages that I don't under stand and it would be great if I had a real time translation rather than ask one of my colleagues to repeat everything in my language every so often. It would make a good product great.

This service is already working when presenting in MS Powerpoint, but only works for whoever is presenting. Can this be ported into Teams so responses can be translated back?
