Very useful information. Let's see if it is adaptable to our needs and the modes of communications typically seen in the At-Large world. Thanks very much Raitme. -Carlton ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 8:24 AM, Raitme Citterio <rcitterio@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi
A new feature is added to Microsoft Translator that enhances its functionality and promises to solve language barriers in different circumstances.
Now with this update it will be possible to have a live conversation in a group where you speak different languages, using our mobile device, tablet or pc.
For example, a delegation of different nationalities can communicate with one another when using Microsoft Translator, seeing the translations in real time of everything that is discussed in the group.
For example, a tour guide can speak to the entire delegation in their language and the app will translate their comments into the language that has configured each of the people who make up the group.
The dynamic that proposes this new feature of Microsoft Translator is very simple. Just go to "Start conversation", either from the mobile app or the web version and log in.
We just have to mention our name and language and will automatically give us a 5 letter code, so we can share them with the users who will join the conversation, can write or scan it.
It has some extra options, for the host, as an example, Mode Moderator. If we activate it, we will be silencing the rest of the participants in the conversation, and we can speak in an uninterrupted way. A useful option for a tour guide or if we are giving an exhibition.
We also have options like show partial messages, save transcription, block the conversation, among others. To test Microsoft Translator we can go to the web version, or the app that corresponds to the platform of our device.

My suggestion regarding this tool
Whether it can be implemented in adobe connect sessions or during live ICANNN sessions might be interesting. In addition to integrating it into the ICANN wiki.
