Feature Request: Real-Time Multilingual Voice Translation in Microsoft Teams

Hello Microsoft Teams Community,

I would like to suggest a feature for Microsoft Teams that could help multilingual users communicate more naturally during meetings.

Feature Idea:
Each participant can speak in their own native language, and Teams will automatically translate and play the speech audio in the listener’s selected language in real time.

Example:

• Telugu speaker talks in Telugu
• Kannada user hears Kannada audio
• Hindi user hears Hindi audio
• English user hears English audio

This would be more powerful than subtitles because users can continue conversations naturally in their mother tongue without needing to read captions constantly.

Possible Technologies:

• Speech-to-Text
• AI Translation
• Text-to-Speech
• Real-Time Voice Streaming

Benefits:

• Better communication in multilingual countries like India
• Improved accessibility
• Easier collaboration for global teams
• More inclusive meetings

I believe this feature could significantly improve communication in international and regional meetings.

Thank you.
