I am now working on planning an event in multiple languages with live translations.
The live translation part is sorted but there are slides to be presented.
Slides are being translated but what would be the best way to get people to follow the slides in their languages?
Is there a way to maybe use breakout rooms or maybe some 3rd party tool that can be used for this?
Any suggestoins how to approach this issue?
Hi, @yashasolutions. Thanks for the info.
I don’t see any way to use a single Zoom session to accomplish this effectively and efficiently.
Consider this: what about having one meeting per language? Your interpreters could host the meeting with their language and display the slides in their language. They would need the ability to join the main presentation, to hear the speaker and watch their presentation, and then speak into their own meeting and control their slides. Unfortunately this wouldn’t provide the usual low-volume audio of the original speaker, which is normally provided by the normal interpretation feature in a single meeting, but it would be easiest for non-technical attendees.
Another approach would involve using Zoom’s built-in interpretation feature for audio, but have each interpreter use something like OBS (free software) to take a PowerPoint in their computer and display that in their camera feed to Zoom. This would be problematic for a Webinar, but could work for a Meeting if attendees were able to Pin the video of the selected language speaker on their screen.
Both approaches would require a good bit of testing, documentation, and training, but might be with the effort if you’re going to do this on a long term basis.
