Automatic translation of subtitles

Microsoft has just announced, for the moment in “public preview”, the automatic translation of subtitles in Teams meetings.

Users will now be able to choose subtitles, live, in the language of their choice. All this is possible thanks to the speech translation capabilities of Microsoft Cognitive Service. This will help users participate fully in meetings where the spoken language may not be their most comfortable language to use. For now the only compatible clients are desktop applications on Windows and Mac.
