Live Translation in Teams
Would it be possible to to have a live text-text translation in MS Teams?

AshiqAbdulKhader, Microsoft Teams already supports live captioning and transcription features, which can include translation into different languages. However, if you're asking about a live text-to-text translation feature (e.g., translating chat messages or meeting captions in real-time), here are some possibilities:
- Live Captions with Translation:
- Teams provides live captions during meetings, and you can enable translation for captions into a different language.
- To enable this:
- During a meeting, go to the meeting controls and select More options (...) > Turn on live captions.
- Then, select Subtitles and choose the desired language for translation.
- Inline Message Translation:
- Teams supports inline translation for chat messages.
- To translate a message:
- Hover over the message, click on More options (...), and select Translate.
- This feature is enabled by default for most organizations but can be managed by the Teams admin.
- Live Captions with Translation:
