Microsoft[Released to GA] Now in public preview: Language Interpretation
Description
Language interpretation will allow interpreters to convert what the speaker says into another language in real time without disrupting the original flow of delivery of the speaker. This...
We tested this functionnality today at work, but we were a little bit confused.
For our 3 people was in the meeting :
- Organizer (original language - main speaker)
- Interpreter
- Attendee
So the Organizer was able to hear the attendee only
The interpreter was able to hear the organizer and the attendee
The Attendee was able to hear the organizer and the interpreter
The last point was the most confusing because it was not possible to understanding anything because organizer and interpreter was speaking at the same time without any volume difference. It think if the attendee want to hear the interpreter and volume of the organizer should be mute or at least lower than the interpreter.
Is there something to set we didn't correctly ?
Any feedback on that ?
Thanks
- This is unfortunately the way the system works at the moment. The organizer in the main room didn't have access to interpretation as there was only one interpreter (probably working on a channel which only goes in one direction). Unfortunately, the system is kind of unusable at this point for two-way interpreation unless you have two seperate interpreters working on two different channels and the organizer sets their languages to the other channel. So basically, if you only want to work with one interpreter, you can only have interpretation in one direction, which leads to a very one-sided conversation. I hope that the officially released version of the function includes more options, at the moment, it's not really usable for us.
