More than one language at a time

Celia Rogg

It would be great to have an option for an audience which speaks multiple languages. We would love to let every person in the audience choose their language, so the poll adapt on their phones by their language of choice.

Hi Richard, thanks for your comment!

Just so I can understand the idea better: Would you want your polls/questions to be automatically translated to the participants' preferred language, or would it be better if you could create two versions of the questions/presentation and translate yourself?

Anne Burian

Maja Jakobsson: Since we have a translation service, I could type in the translated questions/answers and the audience only has to choose the preferred language. My speech/presentation is simultaneously translated. It would be awesome to have this feature by the beginning of June 21 :)

Anne Burian: Thanks for explaining!
I'm afraid we have no plans on implementing this in such a near future. Depending on your setup, what I can suggest as workaround is either to create 2 different presentations and ask the participants to join the one in their preferred language (with the downside of you having the results in 2 different places as well), or try to include both languages in all questions - using the optional description field would give you more space to add the translations.
If you want help to explore these solutions further, I suggest you reach out to our support team: support@mentimeter.com!

Maja Jakobsson: Dear Maja, thanks a lot for your feedback! I thought about including both languages in one presentation as well. I probably go with that one, just need to shorten it a little. It's the better option since I really want to have the results in one place. Thanks again for your quick reply, I may contact the support team if I get stuck :)

Yes Celia I agree = we need to run an event in French and English
