Planning your event
Albania names Albanian as its official language. Kosovo’s constitution names Albanian and Serbian as official languages. Montenegro’s government includes Albanian among languages in official use and says classes are held in that language.
A delegation’s country alone will not tell you which translation its members prefer. If your meeting draws people from these countries, ask who wants Albanian text and explain the reading format in the invitation.
Choosing Shqip opens the live text directly, with phone screens in Albanian. Attendees read the translation on their phones; it is text only, so there is no listen-or-read choice.
The language can also be spoken on stage and translated into other supported languages. For attendees choosing this channel, provide a sample of the text view so they can decide whether reading during the programme suits them.

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.
