Microsoft Teams now supports language interpretation

What you need to know

• Microsoft Teams meeting attendees can now have an interpreter in their preferred language.
• The feature has been in testing for quite some time but is now generally available.
• Meeting participants can set their preferred language and then listen to a meeting in that language.

Microsoft Teams meetings can now have interpreters communicate with attendees during meetings. Language interpretation is now generally available for Microsoft Teams. The feature allows meeting organizers to have professional interpreters translate meetings in real time. Attendees can set their preferred language when they join a meeting and should hear the interpreter’s translation at a louder volume than the speaker.

Microsoft outlines the key features of language interpretation in a Tech Community post:

• Listen to a meeting in the language they are most comfortable using.
• Collaborate in meetings where multiple languages are spoken.
• Support inclusivity in meetings by making spoken content more accessible to all participants.
