Meet has captions. That's not the same as translation.
Transcription ≠ translation
Meet transcribes what's said. If the speaker isn't in your language, you still don't understand it. Localingo translates — into your language, as they speak.
Meet's captions stop at the language barrier
Google Meet's live captions are English-first. Speaking another language? Accuracy suffers. And translation between languages isn't offered at all. Localingo supports 90+ languages on equal footing.
Close the tab, lose everything
Meet has no meeting history. When you end the call, the captions are gone. Localingo saves every meeting — transcript and translation — to your dashboard.
How it works
Join your Meet call as usual
Nothing changes about how you use Google Meet. Use the browser or the desktop app — Localingo works alongside either.
Allow screen audio when prompted
No installs, no plugins, no bot joining your call. Open Localingo in a browser tab and grant screen audio access when the browser asks — that's all it needs to start translating.
Follow every word, in your language
Live captions appear as people speak, translated into your language in real time. Everything is saved to your meeting history.
What you get with every Meet call
Every word translated as it's spoken
Your Meet call is transcribed and translated into your language within seconds — across 90+ languages — so you follow every word as it happens, not a delayed summary.
Every meeting saved to your history
After the call ends, every Meet session is waiting in your dashboard — full transcript, translation, and a searchable history of everything that was said. Nothing lost when you close the tab.
Your past meetings, saved and searchable.
