What are Speaking Language and Target Language?

Created by XL8 Support Team, Modified on Wed, 2 Jul at 6:10 AM by XL8 Support Team

In EventCAT Conference, when setting up real-time translated subtitles, you select two types of languages:

Speaking Language and Target Language.

  • Speaking Language
    This is the language actually spoken by the presenter or meeting participants.

EventCAT recognizes these languages in real time and translates them into the languages shown as subtitles (Target Languages).

You can set up to 5 speaking languages simultaneously.

  • Target Language
    These are the languages in which the real-time translated subtitles will be displayed.

Audience members accessing the real-time subtitle page via QR code, preview page, or URL can choose their preferred language to view the subtitles.

You can provide subtitles in up to 5 different languages, and the price is the same regardless of how many languages are selected.

How do you select Speaking Language and Target Language?


You can freely select from 43 languages supported by EventCAT for both Speaking and Target Languages.
