Roblox announced real-time AI voice chat translation at RDC 2025, with a limited release planned for Q4 2025 onward, initially supporting English, Spanish, French, and German. The feature would automatically translate spoken voice chat so users hear conversations in their own language.
Details
Building on its proprietary text chat translation model launched in February 2024, Roblox announced that users speaking different languages will have their spoken words automatically translated and played back in the listener's native language. The announcement specified an initial four-language rollout (English, Spanish, French, German) with additional languages to follow. Roblox has described the long-term vision as real-time voice translation that preserves the tone, rhythm, and emotion of the original speaker's voice—an aspiration the company acknowledged in 2024 would 'take some time to achieve.' As of April 2026, the status of live deployment beyond announcement is unclear from available sources.
