French to English translation for Google Meet

Live subtitles that turn spoken French into English while the meeting is still going — just a Chrome extension, and no bot in the call.

The meeting is in French, but you read English. MeeLang shows translated subtitles over the call as people speak, so you follow the conversation as it happens — not by reading a transcript after everyone has hung up.

Nothing changes for anyone else in the meeting. No participant is added, no host setting gets flipped, and no one is told you're reading along in English.

Translating French to English, in three steps

1. Install the extension — One click from the Chrome Web Store. No account, no card, and no meeting bot to invite.
2. Join your French meeting — MeeLang picks up the audio from the Google Meet tab you already have open. The spoken language is detected automatically — no need to tell it the call is in French.
3. Read along in English — Subtitles float over the meeting in English, arriving before the sentence finishes. Speak naturally; understand everything.

Why real time is the whole point

A transcript tells you what was said. Subtitles tell you what is being said. That difference decides whether you can answer the question you were just asked, or whether you find out an hour later what you agreed to.

MeeLang translates with sub-second latency, so the English text lands while the French sentence is still in the air. Context-aware AI keeps pace with fast, jargon-heavy speech instead of translating word by word.

Both languages, kept

Every meeting is saved as a bilingual transcript — the original French next to the English translation — so you can check what was actually said, not just what you understood at the time.

It lives in your own browser, where you can search it, export it, or delete it. MeeLang never stores your meeting content on our servers.

What it costs

90 translation minutes a month, free: 30 to start with no account at all, plus 60 more once you sign in with Google. No card required.

Pro raises that to 600 minutes a month and adds AI meeting summaries. You upgrade from inside the extension when you actually need it.

Frequently asked questions

Is French to English translation on Google Meet free?

Yes, to start. You get 90 translation minutes a month at no cost: 30 without an account, plus 60 more once you sign in with Google. No payment details required. Pro raises the limit to 600 minutes a month.

How do I translate a Google Meet call from French to English?

Install the MeeLang Chrome extension, join the call, and set English as your reading language. The spoken French is detected automatically, and translated subtitles appear over the meeting as people talk.

Will other people in the meeting know I am translating French to English?

No. MeeLang runs inside your own browser tab and never joins the call as a participant — no bot appears in the attendee list, and nothing is added to the meeting for anyone else.

Do I need a Google Workspace plan to translate French to English?

No. MeeLang translates on your side of the call, so it doesn't depend on your Google Workspace edition or on an administrator enabling anything. It works with a personal Google account.

Can I keep the original French alongside the English translation?

Yes. Each meeting is saved as a bilingual transcript containing both languages, stored locally in your browser. You can search it, export it, or delete it at any time.

Which languages does MeeLang support besides French and English?

MeeLang translates meetings into 30+ languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Hindi, Arabic, and Indonesian. The source language is detected automatically.
