Google I/O 2025: Google Meet will have instant voice translation in English and Spanish thanks to Gemini
During the biggest event of Google, several announcements were made, among which one of the most notable was the instant translation from English to Spanish on Google Meet, thanks to Gemini's AI.
This Tuesday, the Google I/O 2025 was held, the annual Google conference that this year showcased how AI is driving the internet giant's mission to make information universally accessible and useful for everyone, both users and developers.
During the largest Google event, several announcements were made, one of the most notable being the instant translation from English to Spanish in Google Meet, thanks to Gemini's AI.
"Over time, we also create much more immersive experiences on Google Meet. This includes the technology that helps people overcome language barriers with voice translation, which is coming to Google Meet. Almost in real-time, it can match the speaker's voice and tone, and even their expressions, bringing us closer to a natural and flowing conversation between languages. We are launching translation in English and Spanish in beta version for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, and more languages will be added in the coming weeks. Workspace's business customers will be able to use this feature for initial tests this year," the company explained.

AI Mode in Search
Last year at Google I/O, an AI created Vision was launched and since then, a profound change has occurred in the way people use Google Search: today they ask longer, more complex and multimodal questions.
"Since its launch last year, the AI-created Overview has expanded to over 1.5 billion users, and is now available in 200 countries and territories. As people use the AI-created Overview, we notice that they feel more satisfied with the results and perform searches more frequently," they detailed.
AI Mode in the Search Engine.
A few months ago, Google began testing the AI Mode in Search in Labs and this Tuesday it announced its launch in the U.S. "The AI Mode is our most powerful AI-based search, with more advanced reasoning and multimodality, and with the ability to deeply analyze through additional questions and useful links to the Web. In the coming weeks, a new AI Mode tab can be seen in the Searcher and in the search bar of the Google app", the company explained.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, highlighted that "There is more intelligence available, for everyone, everywhere. And the world is responding, adopting AI faster than ever. All this progress means that we are in a new phase of the AI platform change. Where decades of research are now becoming a reality for individuals, businesses, and communities all around the world."
