    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:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
