Planning your event
At GEM Summit in Doha on 29 January 2026, Baian translated Dr Nayef Bin Nahar’s Arabic speech into Italian, one of eight audience languages. Attendees followed the session on phones and the venue’s large screen. Human interpreters worked at the event alongside Baian.
The Italian output at GEM Summit ↗After choosing Italiano, an attendee sees ‘Come preferisci seguire?’ and the choices Ascolta and Leggi. Audio and written translation are both available. These controls stay in Italian while the person on stage speaks Arabic.
The OSCE lists Italian among its working languages, alongside English, French, German, Russian and Spanish. For an Arabic guest speech before delegates using those languages, identify whether Italian alone meets the audience need or whether the programme requires several translated outputs.

How long after a sentence ends its finished translation appears.
Baian, on its production Live service.
Measured on Baian’s production Live service from 13 to 15 October 2026, from the end of each spoken sentence to the finished English line in our captured listener feed. Earlier words in a long sentence wait longer than this. Spoken audio arrives a little after the text and was not measured.
Estimated medians: the speaker’s words appear in their own language about 1.0 seconds after they are spoken, and the first translation covering a word about 2.4 seconds after it.
Estimated from our captured listener feed for the same 53 recordings. The capture is incomplete, so some early previews are missing, and previews can still change before the sentence is finished. Times are measured to the feed, not to a phone screen.
Median 2.69 seconds behind the speaker, across 180 speeches.
