Hi, I am forwarding this email to others who may be interested. It would be nice if
interpretation could be available in many languages. Thank you for your initiative.

broadcasts
Greetings from Russia!
This is to let you know that beginning with this Wikimania broadcasts
https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program#Remote_attendance
we'll try to volunteer-interpret all Wikimedia live events (or recordings thereof)
into Russian.
Last night we tested with a smartphone & tablet using Wikimedia Research Showcase -
July 2018 as a source & it seems to be working well enough. We observed 5-7 sec.
delay, speaker speed above 120 words per minute & audio quality affecting my delivery
results, but that's quite bearable for the economy class ticket. As a qualified
conference interpreter with some experience of helping international groups over the web,
I can pull this through in my free time.
The idea came about seeing the leaked version of the video-address by our middle-aged
& older Wikimedians from Wikipedias in the languages of Russia community recorded for
Wikimania-2018 participants (I understand total collection is on the way to Cape Town with
Oleg Abarnikov of Wikimedia Russia from Moscow). It seemed to hint our elders from among
participants of our 33 Active Wikipedias & other projects
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Languages_of_Russia_Community_Use…
would actually also like to be exposed to whatever the English-speaking youngsters are
learning via YouTube broadcasts. These local & Russian bilinguals are core
contributors into local language Wikis, so respecting the request of our language
guardians seemed important.
Regards,
farhad
