Translation
The Translation feature offers participants to follow conversations in the alfaview room without language barriers. Both, the Digital Interpreter and the Live transcription can be translated with this feature.
The Translation feature must be enabled by a room moderator in order to be available in the alfaview room.
Settings for participants
The Translation feature translates the spoken word from the Digital Interpreter or Live Transcription into various other languages to minimize language barriers.
You can find the translation in the Secondary menu under 
Live Transcription. Click on the Translation tab to access the translation.
Selecting a translation language
- Click on the button at the top of the Translation tab.
- Select the language you want the spoken word to be translated into.
The translation will now appear in the sidebar in your selected language. You can change the selected language at any time. The conversation will be translated retroactively into the new language.
Tip: View the Digital Interpreter or Live Transcription and translation at the same time:
- Move your mouse over the left edge of the Live Transcription tab. The pointer will change to a double-headed arrow.
- Hold the left mouse button and drag the tab to the left until the Digital Interpreter / Live Transcription and Translation tabs are displayed side by side.
