You might have google meet meetings or classes with speakers in English, but your native language is Spanish, Portuguese, French or German. It's much easier to follow the conversation when you can read captions in your native language.
Below, we'll show you how to translate live captions in google meets in real-time so you can see translated captions during your google meets to make it easier to understand things. You can then save the translated transcription along with the English version with Tactiq.
