Web Studio Translation setup (Simultaneous Interpretation (SI BETA))

Last updated: July 30, 2025

Hidden

In Web Studio, interpretation works during the live session. The recording needs to be handled separately.

Web Studio translations setup only works in real-time stream. Meaning that the entire event is real-time (Web StudioTalkbackReal-time event - All viewers join automatically as real-time participants).

If you need a multilingual HLS stream, check Multi-audio stream encoding.

Setup:

To enable interpretation in Web Studio, go to Advanced Settings and create the languages to be interpreted under Multi-Language Settings.

(Custom buttons also work.)

After this, when you create the Web Studio and enable Simultaneous Interpretation (Beta) under Talkback, the Simultaneous Interpretation Links will appear.

The visible links are for interpreters. If you need a link for a speaker who should hear only a specific language (and is participating via Web Studio), you can find these links under Links for Studio Speaker (different from the viewing page participant).

Conference Call with SI Web Studio

Doesn’t work properly: On the phone, everyone hears everything (floor + all interpreters). (All interpreters + floor hear everything from the phone.)

→ The workaround is to keep the conference call completely separate from the actual Web Studio event.

Who hears whom:

Web Studio

  • Floor hears only the others Floor audio + talkback questions.

  • EN interpreter hears Floor + others EN interpreter audio. Viewing Page (Real Time)

  • OA (Original) hears only the Floor audio.

  • EN hears the EN interpreter’s audio.
