Before you begin

  • You've updated the Meta AI app to the most recent version.
  • You're connected to Wi-Fi (for languages that require internet connection).

Use the Meta AI mobile app

  1. Open the Meta AI app.
  2. Tap Glasses.
  3. Tap Translate.
  4. Select You speak and They speak options to choose your languages.
  5. Tap Start.

Note: If you have multiple devices paired with the Meta AI app, swipe left or right to select the device you want to use for live translation.

Use voice commands

  1. Say "Hey Meta, start live translation" to begin.
  2. Select your language and then select Start in the Meta AI app.
  3. Adjust language settings in the Meta AI app as needed.

Set up live translation for the first time

When you're connected to Wi-Fi, most languages are ready to use right away. Choose your languages in the Meta AI app and tap Start to begin.

Some languages are also available to use without an internet connection. To use a language offline, download its language pack to your device using the Meta AI app.

You will hear an announcement through your glasses confirming that live translation has begun.

How live translation works

During a conversation, your speech is translated in real time. The translation appears as text in the Meta AI app for the other person to read.

The person can also listen to the translation by tapping the speaker icon in the app.

Stop live translation

To end your translation session, use one of these methods:

  1. Voice command: Say "Hey Meta, stop live translation".
  2. Tap and hold the touchpad on your glasses.
  3. Tap Glasses then Stop in the Meta AI app.
