Summary
                Organizers with Teams Premium can now select the 10 translated caption languages from over 40 options for town hall meetings. The rollout timeline has been updated, with Targeted Release starting mid-March and General Availability beginning early May 2024. Organizations may update training and documentation accordingly. 


More Information

Currently in a town hall, organizers are unable to select which languages attendees can translate their captions into. Microsoft pre-selects the 10 languages that an attendee may translate their captions into if either the attendee or organizer has Teams Premium. With this new update, organizers who have Teams Premium can now select the 10 translated caption languages (from a list of over 40) that an attendee can choose from in a town hall. 

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-March 2024 (previously early February) and expect to complete by early April 2024 (previously late March).

General Availability: We will begin rolling out early May 2024 (previously early April) and expect to complete by early July 2024 (previously late June).

How this will affect your organization:

Organizers in your tenant will now be able to pick the translated captions languages for their attendees to choose from in a town hall. 

What you need to do to prepare:

You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
