Planning your event
Bangladesh’s constitution names Bangla as the state language. Bengali appears in the Eighth Schedule of India’s Constitution. West Bengal Police’s demographics page lists Bengali and English as the state’s official languages.
When bringing these audiences together, ask delegates whether they want Bengali translation. They may need it even when the stage programme is in English or Arabic.
The language selection is labelled বাংলা. The next screen asks “আপনি কিভাবে যোগ দিতে চান?” and has শুনুন for listening and পড়ুন for reading. The listener interface stays in the selected language, including the choice of how to follow the translation.
Presenters can also speak Bengali. If a presenter uses Bengali and English in the same session, enable Multiple spoken languages at the start; attendees can keep their chosen translation as the speaking language changes.

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.
