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.

Wikimedia 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_User_Group/Dashboard/ru
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
