This article explains how to enable Translated captions in Google Meet using Tactiq.

Translated captions are helpful when participants speak different languages, as they allow captions to be shown in another language. For example, if your meeting is in English, you can translate the captions into Spanish while the meeting is happening.

Translated captions availability

Translated Captions are available only for certain Google Workspace editions. For more details, visit Google Meet Help.

Enable Translated captions

  • Start your Google Meet meeting and in the Tactiq widget, click on the language being used. The Settings window opens under the Settings tab.

  • Turn on the toggle for Captions and select the Language of the Meeting.

  • Turn on the toggle for Translated captions and select the language to Translate to. (e.g., from English to Spanish).

Note: If the Translated captions are not showing, make sure that captions are turned on by clicking the CC icon to enable them.

Share Translated captions after the meeting

  • Go to My Meetings in Tactiq and open the meeting that you translated.

  • In the upper portion of the meeting, select the language of the Translated captions, or choose the Combined option to view all available languages.

  • To share the translated transcript, click the Share option and use the available sharing options to distribute the transcript.
