Planning your event
Sweden’s Language Act calls Swedish the principal language. Finland’s constitution names Finnish and Swedish as national languages, and the language has been an EU official language since 1995.
The Nordic Council’s official-language list is “Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish.” Nokia’s 2025 AGM notice offered simultaneous translation into Finnish, English and Swedish for a primarily Finnish meeting with an English President and CEO review.
After choosing Svenska, the listener sees “Hur vill du följa den här sessionen?”. Lyssna starts audio and Läs opens reading. The following screens stay in the selected language.
For a programme in Finnish, English and Swedish, enable Multiple spoken languages from the start. Baian supports all three as spoken languages, so attendees can keep their chosen translation as presentations move between 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.
