You Can Now See Real-Time Translation on AMD, Intel Copilot+ PCs
The Windows 11 Insider build also fixes several issues with Recall Microsoft is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) real-time Translation feature in Live Captions for Copilot+ PCs powered by AMD and Intel chipsets. Announced on Wednesday, the new feature is being previewed with the latest Windows 11 Insider preview build and is available via the Dev Channel. Additionally, the tech giant is also adding improvements to the real-time translation feature in Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs. Further, the company has also made some bug fixes to the Recall feature, which was released in preview earlier this year. In a Windows blog post, the tech giant announced that the new AI feature was being released with the Windows 11 Insider preview built 26120.2705 (KB5050636) to the Dev Channel. Microsoft had earlier launched the real-time translation in Live Captions to Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, but it was not available on the AMD and Intel-powered chipsets. With this update, select users will now get access to test the feature and share feedback with the company. Real-time translations will allow users to translate audio from more than 44 languages into English. The translated audio will be visible at the bottom of the screen as subtitles. The feature can provide real-time translation from video calls, recordings, and streamed content. It uses Microsoft's Copilot and native large language models. Notably, to use the feature, users will need to set their device language to English. While the feature can translate audio from multiple languages, it cannot translate from English to other languages. There are improvements to the feature in the Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs as well. The real-time translation feature will now be able to translate audio to Chinese (Simplified) language. Additionally, the feature will also support translation from Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech Danish, German, Greek English Spanish, English, Estonian, Finnish, France, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, and Swedish languages. Further, the Recall feature is getting some improvements. Users can enable or disable the feature from "Turn Windows feature on or off". Microsoft also highlighted that if users see a message that says "Make sure Recall is saving snapshots", while the Settings page for Recall shows snapshot saving is enabled, rebooting the device will resolve the issue.

Microsoft is testing live translation on Intel and AMD Copilot Plus PCs
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.

The objectively best AI tool on Copilot+ PCs is arriving on AMD and Intel chips
Summary Microsoft is upgrading live captions and translations for Copilot+ PCs, expanding to more than 44 languages. The feature will be available on AMD and Intel chips, allowing real-time translation and captioning. To try this feature, enroll in the Windows 11 Dev channel, as it's not ready for release on the main branch yet. While Copilot+ comes with a ton of different AI tools, not all of them are inherently useful. You could easily use a Copilot+ PC without touching the pre-installed AI tools and still have a good time. However, using AI to understand people speaking other languages is really useful. Regardless of if you're just trying to watch a foreign movie or discuss something with a workmate from around the world, Copilot+'s live translation feature makes it easier to understand people no matter what app you're using. Now, Microsoft is working on rolling out this handy feature to Intel and AMD chips alongside its live captioning feature. Related Microsoft Copilot: What is it, and how does it work? Is Microsoft Copilot the best AI chatbot available right now? Posts Microsoft is rolling out live captions and translations to Intel and AMD PCs As announced on the Windows Insider Blog, Microsoft is upgrading the live captions and translation feature for Copilot+ PCs. Now it can handle a ton more languages: We are enhancing communication on AMD and Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs with live captions and real-time translation. We're beginning to roll out the ability in live captions to translate more than 44 languages into English, including speakers in real-time video calls, recordings and streamed content. Real-time translation is rolling out AMD and Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs with English as the primary language in use. Unfortunately, this new feature isn't quite ready for release onto the main Windows branch just yet. If you want to try this feature, you'll need to enroll in the Windows 11 Dev channel and update your system. While you're on the Dev channel, you can also give the controversial Recall feature a try, which has just entered testing. Otherwise, you can wait for Microsoft to release the patch onto the main branch to test out the new Copilot-powered translation tool.

Live Captions and Auto Translation Is Coming to More Windows PCs
Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 Insider Preview Build to the Dev Channel, which brings real-time translation and live captions to more devices. This was initially available only for Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs but is now extended to those using AMD and Intel processors. The live captions feature now supports over 44 languages being translated into English, and it will work for live video calls, recordings, and streamed content. The focus of this rollout is on AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs with English set as the main language. For Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, real-time translation to Simplified Chinese and support for other languages such as Arabic, German, Spanish, French, and more are being released. The update also improves real-time translation, specifically for Snapdragon-powered devices. Besides these updates, this build is similar to the one released last week. It seems like Microsoft is still trying to push AI features into its PCs, with some PCs being built with Copilot in mind. Several issues were announced with this update, which likely means Microsoft will take care of them. One is a post-PC reset issue that may show the build version incorrectly but won't hinder future updates. Problems with the Recall feature, like binary caching and incorrect snapshot saving messages, should be addressed in future updates. Microsoft recommends that users update their Microsoft 365 apps for the best functionality of the Recall feature. However, opting out of Recall altogether is another great option that is probably the best thing to do until the issues and bugs are fixed. The Click to Do feature has its own issues, like uneven highlighting in extended monitor modes and sometimes using additional context from Phi Silica. Live captions and real-time translation might also crash occasionally during first use or when switching languages while audio is playing or the microphone is on. To make sure these new features work properly, users with AMD and Intel-based Copilot+ PCs should update their drivers via Windows Update. It's a good idea to enable the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" option in Windows Update, or you can download drivers directly from AMD's and Intel's websites. Source: Windows
