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.

    I completely support this idea. With Lync there was a very useful plugin available, after the "upgrade" to Skype the functionality was lost.

    It would be great that Teams could implement a real-time Voice translation for 1 to 1 Teams call participation or group meetings

    I'd also like to be able to see the translation version of my own text (if I choose to) to ensure that what I have said has been translated correctly / makes sense for the reader.

    Yes totally agreed of Gabriel. It will be best that the auto translator can be in place to resolve the language barrial and smoothen the communication.

    a must have for readers to be able to translate messages that have been sent to another language.... similar to what is available in facebook/workplace

    An absolute must!
    Working in a multilingual environment, this feature would help all users and raise the acceptance of using this new tool.

    Much needed in a multi-national, multi-lingual environment like the one I work in

    Translation can be enabled via the Windows app and desktop website but not the android app. Unsure about ios but would doubt it. Bringing translation to all MS teams apps would be hugely beneficial.

    Working on multi-national company and users keep asking for this feature. Please try to prioritize it. Thanks!

    We are using group chat by users from multi languages and countries and considering migrate from Slack to Microsoft Teams.

    If Microsoft Teams translation feature can enable automatic translation and visibility of original and translated text at the same time, it is very useful and you will take advantage to multi counties collaboration and global companies.

    Sometimes, translated text does not make sense, in the case, users try to read by themselves with a dictionary that would be helped by seeing original text and translated text both on the screen.

    Please think about this translation feature.
