Can Meta Ray-Ban Display show captions and translations?

Ray-Ban documents live captions and translation for Display. These are related but different features: captions render speech as text, while translation changes its language. Downloads and feature-specific setup can apply.

Trace the direction of the conversation

Write down who speaks which language and who needs which output. Reading someone else's translated speech in your lens does not automatically give that person a translation of your reply. A language list also needs to be interpreted for the specific feature and direction you intend to use.

For a bilingual exchange, take one short question and one reply through the complete workflow. Identify where the other person's translation appears or is spoken. That reveals whether you have a two-way conversation aid or primarily a way for the wearer to understand incoming speech.
