Zoom launches live voice translation, with Arabic coming in late 2026

Zoom has launched a beta version of its live voice translation service, initially supporting five languages: English, Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish. The feature, which uses AI to translate speech in real-time, is available to users with Pro, Business, or Enterprise accounts, or through specific add-ons like ZoomMate. Arabic, German, Italian, and Portuguese will be added later, with Arabic set to launch in Q4 2026. The service includes voice cloning and translation projection, aiming to improve communication during virtual meetings. Zoom, which holds over 55% of the videoconferencing market, emphasized privacy by stating that no meeting audio is stored or used to create user profiles. The feature reflects broader trends in AI-driven enhancements within the videoconferencing industry.
