Control Speech Translation in Google Meet for your users

Google Meet Speech Translation allows translation in near-real time, bridging language barriers across users and organizations. The feature is currently available in alpha but will launch more broadly in beta on January 27, 2026.

Starting today, admins will see a setting to control this feature in the Admin console under Meet service settings > Gemini settings. It will be ON by default and can be disabled at the OU level.

A few important things to note:

  • The feature is only available if the Gemini for Meet admin setting has been enabled.
  • If a user turns on translation, everyone in that meeting will see that translation is being used.
  • Users cannot force other users to be translated or to hear translations.
  • The feature will remain in beta, meaning that feature availability and translation quality may vary.
  • See our blog post to learn more about the translation technology behind the feature.

Changes to IP Address and Session Attribute Support in the Google Ads API

Starting on February 2, 2026, the Google Ads API will no longer accept new adopters of session attributes or IP address data as part of conversion imports. To ensure a more robust and scalable experience for handling complex data, we recommend that Google Ads API developers transition to the Data Manager API - where session attributes and IP address are accepted - as their primary conversion and user data import API.

Developers who have already adopted session attributes or IP addresses in their click conversion imports can continue importing that data using the Google Ads API until they’ve moved their conversion imports over to the Data Manager API.

Technical details

  • Developers will be allowlisted by their developer token.
  • Once this change is rolled out, you may notice the error CUSTOMER_NOT_ALLOWLISTED_FOR_THIS_FEATURE in the partial_failure responses of your conversion import requests. This error indicates that the associated conversion was rejected due to the presence of session attributes and/or IP address.
  • Resolve this error with these steps:
    • Temporarily remove session attributes and IP address from conversion import requests and continue importing conversions to the Google Ads API.
    • Update your code to use the Data Manager API with session attributes and IP address.
    • Discontinue conversion imports to the Google Ads API once you’re successfully making imports to the Data Manager API.

Reach out to the Google Ads API support or Data Manager API support channels if you have any questions.

If you have any questions or want to discuss this post, please reach out to us on our “Google Advertising and Measurement Community” Discord server.

Generate podcast-style audio lessons in Google Classroom using Gemini

Last year, we made Gemini in Classroom available to all Google Workspace for Education editions with features to help educators create content and resources through one central destination in Classroom.

Starting today, educators can now generate and share audio lessons to help students engage more deeply with instructional content and support various learning modalities. Educators will be able to customize the target grade, topic, and learning objectives to ensure the content is a customized companion to other aspects of the topic they are teaching. They’ll also be able to specify the type of audio discussion, like the number of speakers, and aspects of conversation such as whether it’s in an interview or conversational style.
