Overview of interpretation settings during the Summit
During the Summit, we have 2 different interpretation settings:
“ClimateRed” setting
Using a custom made interpretation interface.
This is for 95% of the sessions. Those will have english only on the floor.
You will:
- Listen to the floor on Zoom: connected as an attendee (links for the sessions will be provided);
- Output interpretation through https://climate.red - interpret mode interface.
“Full zoom” setting
This is only for 3 sessions (You may not be involved).
Using Zoom’s interpretation module.
You will use 2 devices, with 2 different zoom accounts
You will receive only one zoom link by session (you won’t receive a specific interpreter link).
Use it to connect both your devices with their respective accounts.
We will assign you to your respective booth.
Rename your active device (output) according to the following example: “INT AR John Doe”.
Important: We will have a whatsapp backchannel by session to coordinate / support. Your focal point will be either Ian O’Donnell or Laurent Fernandez.
