Planning your event
Kerala’s government names Malayalam as the state’s official language. The Government of India also includes Malayalam in the Constitution’s Eighth Schedule.
Delegates from Kerala may need this translation even when presentations are in another language. Record their chosen translation separately from the presenter’s language: Baian supports Malayalam for the audience only.
The language button reads മലയാളം. Selecting it provides translated audio or text in that language, while the remaining listener interface is in English. Explain the buttons in English to attendees who need help joining, and identify മലയാളം as their translation choice.
Choose another supported spoken language for the presentation: Baian cannot translate from Malayalam speech. If a proposed speaker intends to present in Malayalam, the audience channel does not meet that requirement. Resolve the stage-language choice before finalising the programme.

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.
