Google Meet now translates speech between 63 languages – Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish included

Google has expanded speech translation in Google Meet to 63 languages, and Meet now detects by itself which language is being spoken. Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish are all included. The meeting host needs a paid plan, such as Google AI Pro or Google Workspace Business Standard, but participants do not need one of their own. Here is how it works, and what the limits are.

On 22 October 2026 Google announced that speech translation in Google Meet now supports 63 languages on the web and in the Android and iOS apps. The translation is powered by Google's AI model Gemini 3.5 Live Translate. Previously only a few language pairs were available, and the whole meeting had to be set to a single language pair.

Meet now automatically detects which language is being spoken and translates it in near real time into each listener's own language, even when several languages are spoken in the same meeting or someone switches language mid-sentence. Each participant turns translation on for themselves and can list languages they already understand so those are not translated. According to Google's help page, others hear your translated speech in a voice like yours, and captions follow the same translation. Swedish, Norwegian (Bokmål), Danish and Finnish are all on the language list.

Who can use it? The meeting host needs an eligible plan. For individuals that means Google AI Pro, with up to 90 minutes of translation per meeting, or Google AI Ultra, with up to 8 hours. For businesses it includes Google Workspace Business Standard and Business Plus as well as Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Plus, with up to 90 minutes per meeting. Everyone in the meeting can then use translation, including guests from other organisations. In a direct call between two people, it is enough for one of them to have such a plan. So with a free account you cannot host a translated meeting, but you can join one.

There are limits. Translation does not work in live streams, recordings, client-side encrypted (CSE) meetings or for people dialling in by phone. Google says availability can also be restricted by region and age, and according to the help page participants under 18 are not translated. For businesses on Rapid Release the new version rolls out from 22 October, and on Scheduled Release from 2 November, with up to 15 days before everyone sees it. Google says no audio is saved and no models are trained on your voice.

Real-time translation is not perfect. Google itself warns about grammar mistakes, words that become unintelligible, wrong noun genders and voices that change when several people talk. For small businesses with customers or suppliers abroad it can still save a lot of time, especially in Nordic meetings where everyone would otherwise switch to English. Always confirm prices, dates and decisions in writing after the meeting.
