Translation is available for all Pacific Yearly Meeting sponsored events held online … click here for how to access this service
Everyone on the call should follow these steps ... someone in the space may start speaking a language that is unfamiliar to you.
- The language of your Zoom controls will be the default language for the translation service (e.g. if your Zoom screen is in English, the speaking and subtitling language for the translation service will already be set to English).
- Look for the captions button on the menu bar at the bottom of the Zoom screen. It may say subtitles or CC.
- Click that button (subtittles or CC) and a dialog box will open.
- Select the language you will speak and the language in which you would like to see the subtitles or captions.
- Enable translation by sliding the “translation” bar to change from grey to blue. On some devices, it may be a checkbox.
- Save your settings.
On a phone (but not calling in):
Enable the subtitles by tapping on the CC button on the menu at the bottom of the screen.
Swipe the bar beside “show subtitles” to green.
Follow the onscreen instructions to set your caption language, turn on translation and select your speaking language.
Save your settings (upper right hand corner).
When speaking:
– Speak slowly and clearly to ensure the system accurately transcribes your words.
– Avoid using abbreviations or acronyms (like PacYM, PYM or the initials of an organization), as the translator may not recognize them and could produce an inaccurate translation. Say the full name (like Pacific Yearly Meeting).
– Speak in the language you have selected as your speaking language.
