Practical guide

Decide when to switch languages during a bilingual live

Decide when to switch languages during a bilingual live: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. Choose a predictable rule, such as answering in the question's main language.
  2. Finish the current fact before switching so conditions are not divided confusingly.
  3. Use a brief recap in the other language when the information matters to everyone.

Worked example

A Malay sizing question can receive a complete Malay answer, followed by a short English measurement recap. Avoid switching halfway through the condition “only for the medium variant,” because the second audience may hear a number without the limitation.

Before the next session

Use the current Aseacast product overview to check which parts of this workflow fit your setup.
