THE QUICK ANSWER
What is a Webex translator?
A Webex translator turns speech in a Webex meeting into subtitles in another language while people are still talking. Webex offers live translation on eligible plans — often as a paid add-on — and the host has to turn it on for the meeting. A browser extension such as MeeLang is the alternative when that option isn't available to you.
MeeLang gives you Webex live translation on your side of the call. Join the meeting from the Webex web app in Chrome, choose the language you want to read, and MeeLang listens to the meeting audio in that tab, detects the spoken language automatically, and shows live translated subtitles over the call. Other participants don't install anything, and nothing joins the meeting.
HOW IT WORKS
How to translate Webex meetings in real time
Install MeeLang for Chrome
Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store. You can start without a card, an account, or a meeting bot.
Join the meeting from your browser
Open the Webex invite link in Chrome and choose to join from your browser, or open the meeting in the Webex web app at web.webex.com.
Choose your subtitle language
Pick the language you want to read. Translated subtitles appear over the meeting, and the bilingual transcript stays in your browser.
WHAT YOU SEE IN THE CALL
Follow both languages while people are still talking
Original speech and its translation stay together, so you can check meaning without losing the flow of the meeting.

Webex live translation: built-in or a Chrome extension?
Both approaches translate a Webex meeting as it happens. The practical difference is the license you need and where the translation runs.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Webex translation FAQ
Does Webex have live translation?
Webex offers live translation on eligible plans, often as a paid add-on, and the host turns it on for the meeting. MeeLang is another option: a Chrome extension that shows live translated subtitles in any Webex meeting you join from the web app.
How do I translate a Webex meeting in real time?
Install the MeeLang Chrome extension, open the Webex invite link in Chrome, and join from your browser. Once you're in, pick the language you want to read and MeeLang shows live translated subtitles over the call.
Does MeeLang work with the Webex desktop app?
Not yet. MeeLang runs inside Chrome, so it works with the Webex web app. Join from your browser instead of the desktop app to use it.
Can I get Webex live translation without an add-on license?
Yes. MeeLang provides Webex live translation from your own browser, so neither you nor the host needs a translation add-on, license, or meeting setting.
Will a translation bot join my Webex meeting?
No. MeeLang works in your browser tab and never joins the meeting as a participant, so nobody sees a translation bot in the participant list.
Is MeeLang free for Webex meetings?
Yes, to start. Sign in with Google and you get 30 free translation minutes a month, with no payment details required. The Pro plan includes 600 minutes a month, and your minutes work across every supported meeting platform and YouTube.
Which languages can I translate Webex meetings into?
MeeLang translates into 30+ languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese, Thai, Russian, Hindi, and Arabic. You don't need to pick the spoken language — MeeLang detects it automatically.
