(edited)I've found it useful in situations like this to make the session more interactive so as not to limit the effect of the language deficiency on one party. Pause periodically for feedback and address grey areas as they appear. Keep segments short and concise so as to avoid ambiguity in the process. Visual aids as well as realtime translations will be useful in carrying all parties along
-
Provide live translation: Utilize real-time translation services for key presentations and discussions. Encourage typed Q&A: Allow non-native speakers to compose questions at their own pace, ensuring participation.
-
Provide agendas and presentations in multiple languages for the participants, if possible. Also, ensure that subtitles or closed captions are available for presentations, along with any other relevant tools that would engage all participants. Additionally, provide translated copies for the participants at the end of the conference for future reference.
-
1. Use Real-Time Translation & Captioning Enable AI-powered live translations (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet have automatic captioning and translation). Offer professional interpreters for key sessions. Provide multilingual subtitles for pre-recorded content. 2. Multilingual Materials Share agendas, presentations, and keynotes in multiple languages. Create a glossary of key terms to avoid misinterpretations.
