Google Meet on mobile has finally introduced speech translation.

      Google

      If you've found yourself in a meeting where half the team is conversing in one language while the other half is nodding along, feeling confused, those days of awkward “uh-huh”s are behind you. Google Meet is introducing speech translation to mobile. Following its initial launch on the web, Google Meet's speech translation feature is now being implemented on Android and iOS. This technology translates spoken audio in near real-time, enhancing communication for teams worldwide.

      Languages to impress with

      Currently, the feature allows bidirectional translation between English and:

      - Spanish

      - French

      - German

      - Portuguese

      - Italian

      However, each meeting can activate only one language pair. So if you’re envisioning a multilingual celebration with three languages simultaneously… well, good things take time.

      Conference rooms can listen as well

      For those joining a physical meeting room, you will still receive translations, but your own speech won't be translated just yet. It functions like a personal audience enjoying the multilingual applause. For admins, speech translation will be enabled by default, but you can adjust it at the organizational unit (OU) level. End users need just the Meet app and a touch of curiosity. For detailed guidance, Google’s Help Center can assist.

      For rapid-release domains, the gradual rollout will begin on April 8, 2026 (up to 15 days for complete visibility), with a scheduled release for other domains starting a bit later, on April 23, 2026 (up to 15 days).

      This feature is available across various tiers:

      - Business: Standard, Plus

      - Enterprise: Standard, Plus

      - Other Editions: Frontline Plus

      - Consumer: Google AI Pro, Ultra

      - AI Add-ons: AI Ultra Access, Google AI Pro for Education

      Google promises ongoing translation improvements and user interface adjustments, ensuring that your meetings will become increasingly seamless. This means it will continue to evolve and enhance while you speak, which can certainly benefit many people.

      OpenAI faces investigation over ChatGPT concerns

      A new investigation raises issues regarding the safety of ChatGPT.

      Just when it seemed that OpenAI was preparing for its next major advancement, perhaps even an IPO, it is now under significant scrutiny. This time, it's not just online critics; it's a comprehensive government investigation. Indeed, the situation is becoming quite serious.

      OpenAI is now the subject of a significant investigation.

      ChatGPT just launched a $100 plan, and it’s not for everyone

      OpenAI targets power users with a new Pro tier.

      Just when it seemed the ChatGPT pricing structure couldn’t become any more complicated, OpenAI introduced another tier to the lineup, this one positioned in the middle with a $100/month fee.

      And no, this isn’t just any random new plan. It's clearly designed for a specific type of user… one that is already using ChatGPT extensively compared to most.
