A one-minute test for a call with live translation
Say one simple detail and let the other person tell you what they received. Then switch. Seeing words appear only tells you that captions are on.

Try “I brought a green notebook.” Let the other person say or show which object and color reached them. Now ask them for an everyday detail. Confirm that the caption is in the language each person wanted and that it arrived before you started another thought.
Change one thing if the test fails
If audio disappears, fix the microphone first. If words appear in the wrong language, check the spoken and reading settings. If the translation struggles with a name, type just the name and repeat the sentence. Agree on chat, a shared language or a later call if you can’t get reliable turn-taking.
