Enable Translation and Add Target Languages

Add only the target languages required by the event and verify each from source segment to final viewer.

Best for: Multilingual producers, caption operators, accessibility leads, event administrators, and authorized language reviewers.

Before you start

Translation, target-language count, glossaries, and text-to-speech depend on event permissions, provider/model/language support, plan entitlements, usage allowances or wallet, and eligible BYOK configuration.

• Confirm source language and provider quality first.
• List approved target locales, terminology, voice requirements, and human review responsibilities.
• Test with representative content before distributing viewer links.

Step by step

1. Open Translation. Confirm event and stable source language.
2. Choose provider/model. Match target coverage, latency, terminology, BYOK/funding, and policy.
3. Add target languages. Use exact locales and stay within the plan/event limit.
4. Order and default languages. Make lobby/viewer labels clear and choose a safe default.
5. Configure source-final behavior. Understand whether partial/stabilized/final segments trigger translation.
6. Apply glossary/domain settings. Test high-value names and protected wording.
7. Run known-phrase tests. Use numbers, dates, names, idioms, long sentences, and corrections.
8. Inspect every surface. Viewer, Program, Extended, embeds, TTS, exports, and desktop outputs as applicable.
9. Monitor usage. Estimate source minutes/target characters and wallet/allowance.

What success looks like: The configured language service produces the intended accessible output with known quality, latency, usage, and recovery behavior.

Check your setup

• Every enabled target displays fresh text in the intended locale and operators can identify its provider, cost path, and fallback.

Troubleshooting

Language unavailable

Check provider/model, plan language cap, and locale support.

Target stays stale

Check source finals, provider health, credentials/funding, network, and selected viewer language.

Wrong locale

Remove the incorrect target and add the exact regional locale after approval.

Security and operational notes

• Machine translation requires human oversight.
• Do not add unmonitored languages merely because they are selectable.
• State limitations for high-stakes content.
