Planning your event
Dr Nayef Bin Nahar spoke in Arabic at GEM Summit in Doha on 29 January 2026. Baian supplied French among eight audience languages. The venue’s large screen carried the session alongside the phone-based experience, and human interpreters also worked at the summit.
GEM’s Arabic-to-French direction ↗The attendee taps Français and receives screens in their language. ‘Comment souhaitez-vous suivre ?’ offers Écouter for audio and Lire for text. The attendee receives the translation while the speaker continues in Arabic.
Arabic and French are both languages of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation under its Charter. For an Arabic presentation to delegates using French, plan the direction for the speech and for any French questions that the Arabic-speaking chair needs to follow.

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.
