Cisco Webex breaks down language barriers with real-time translation functionality.
Don’t speak English? Now with webex you can opt for real-time translation of the meeting conversation from English into one of over 100 different languages.
Creating an inclusive collaborative experience starts with the most basic element: ensuring that all participants are part of the conversation, regardless of their native language.
What does it allow us to do? This feature allows for greater engagement and easier communication between meeting participants, i.e. more effective collaboration. Non-native English speakers and/or hearing impaired participants can choose to have English subtitles translated into one of the additional supported languages. It aids understanding and creates a more inclusive meeting, where language will no longer be a barrier to great collaboration.
See how it works:
As people speak, their microphones pick up everything they say and Webex Assistant automatically adds it as translated captions above the meeting controls.
Conversation translation allows for more inclusive and engaging meetings and events. If you do not speak English or have trouble understanding the speaker, Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings can translate English into over 100 other languages in subtitles.
Each participant can select his or her own preferred language so that the Webex Wizard knows into which language to translate. However, the maximum number of unique languages that can be used simultaneously in a meeting or event is five.
How to activate this functionality in webex?
1.- Activate the Webex Wizard by moving the mouse over the Webex Wizard and clicking on Activate Webex Wizard.
2.- Select translation options for voice subtitles and choose the language to the Webex Wizard that you want to translate the speech to.

Real-time conversation translation is available as an add-on for Webex Meetings and Webex Events (new) sites in version 41.5 and later sites. during June 2021.
