According to Google, Gemini 3.5 Live Translate is able to automatically detect over 70 languages. It can also produce natural-sounding translations that maintain the speaker’s intonation, pacing, and pitch. Additionally, it can continuously generate translated speech, unlike turn-by-turn systems that wait for the speaker to finish talking.
In the example below, Google puts the model to the test in two demos. The first demo showcases a live dubbing experience where a video is translated into a different language in real-time. Meanwhile, the second demo focuses on translating talks and presentations in multiple languages. The results are fairly impressive.
Google says that Gemini 3.5 Live Translate will be rolling out to Google Meet. Once it lands, it will bring support for 70-plus languages, an improvement over the current limit of just five languages. Another highlight is that it will enable over 2,000 language combinations in one meeting. Previously, speech translation in Meet only translated to and from English. Google also plans to update Meet’s UI so you can access speech translation faster.
