Summary
                Town hall organizers can now select up to six languages for live translated captions from over 40 options. The rollout timeline has been updated, with Targeted Release beginning mid-March and completing early April 2024, and General Availability rolling out early May and completing by mid-August 2024. No action is needed to prepare for this change. Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 371308.


More Information

Currently in a town hall, an organizer is unable to select which auto-translated captions they would like their attendees to see. Attendees can select from a pre-selected list of translated languages for their captions. With this new update, organizers can now pick up to 6 translated languages from a list of over 40 languages to be shown to the attendees for captions during 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 mid-August 2024 (previously early July). 

How this will affect your organization:

Organizers of a town hall in your tenant will now be able to pick up to 6 languages for the translated captions to be available to their attendees.  

What you need to do to prepare:

There is no action needed to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
