It is official in Portugal and Brazil and has been an EU official language since 1986. Mercosur names Spanish and Portuguese as official working languages. ECOWAS names English, French and Portuguese as working languages.
The African Union’s official-language list includes “Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Kiswahili and any other African language.” Anglo American’s 2025 shareholder page also lists a Spanish and Portuguese simultaneous-translation Q&A facility, giving a specific corporate setting for these two audience languages.
The question “Como você gostaria de acompanhar?” follows the Português selection. Attendees use Ouvir for listening or Ler for reading. The interface uses the language selected, so the guest can choose translated audio or text without navigating English instructions.

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.
