Microsoft is previewing live translation on Intel and AMD-based Copilot Plus PCs. The feature is rolling out now to Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev Channel, allowing users to translate audio from over 44 languages into English subtitles.

Live translation, which initially launched on Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs, works with any audio played through a Copilot Plus PC, whether it’s coming from a YouTube video, a live video conference, or a recording. If the audio is in a supported language, Windows 11 will display real-time captions in English. The feature can currently translate from Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and more.

Microsoft has been gradually bringing more AI features to Intel and AMD-powered Copilot Plus PCs. Earlier this month, Microsoft began testing Recall, which takes snapshots of your activity on a Copilot Plus PC and lets you call up specific memories, on devices with Intel and AMD chips.

Microsoft is also rolling out an update to live translation on Qualcomm-equipped Copilot Plus PCs, as Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev Channel can now translate select languages to Simplified Chinese.
