Wikimedia Deutschland did it once when Sue was visiting the General Assembly, basically they rented two translators + a huge case of headsets. The translators translated de - en / en - de - so both presenter and audience could talk in their language / ask questions in their own language. It worked quite efficient, the technical requirements were minimal, the two translators shared the duty, each of them did ~ 30 minutes and then the other took over, so they had breaks to stay focused and concentrated. I guess a whole day-rate had been charged by the two translators plus the rent of the equipment (which was a third-party). Someone from WMDE reading this who could have a look in the files (October 2011) to check the costs? /Manuel -- Manuel Schneider - Chief Information Officer Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Lausanne, +41 (21) 340 66 22 - www.wikimedia.ch _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
