The Vonage Video API enables developers to integrate real-time translation into their applications, breaking down language barriers and fostering global collaboration. The integration involves several steps, including setting up a WebSocket connection between the server and Google Cloud's Text APIs for speech recognition, translation, and text-to-speech processing. The process also requires creating an Experience Composer instance to inject the translated audio into the video session. The implementation involves writing middleware code on the server-side to handle the audio data transmission and create the necessary API endpoints. The client-side JavaScript code is responsible for sending the audio data to the server and establishing a WebSocket connection with Google Cloud's Text APIs.
