FYI: I volunteer interpreting Wikimedia broadcasts live into Russian whenever I know and available, usually via parallel Facebook Messenger call - announcing this on Wikimedia Languages of Russia Facebook group & then uploading the recording in various places - like https://ru.wikinews.org/wiki/File:Ru-Wiki4HumanRights-Webinar.oga for June 2 event with Office of UN High Commissioner of Human Rights
If you ever use Zoom-casts in webinar mode, there's a good interface for choosing desired interpretation channel (worked in a conferece with 7 languages with no problems, ready to share experience if Wikimedia will go multilingual during live events). By default, principle audio goes at about 20%, chosen interpretation language at ~80%. regards, farhad -- Farhad Fatkullin - Фархад Фаткуллин http://sikzn.ru/ Тел.+79274158066 / skype:frhdkazan / Wikipedia:frhdkazan / Wikidata:Q34036417 09.06.2020, 01:58, "Zack McCune" <[email protected]>: > Hi GerardM, > > Indeed! > > As I mentioned in my earlier message, the process will be multilingual.
