This facility allows you to specify a language for each of the simultaneous interpretation channels. The languages are output from the interpreters booths and directed to the conference participants, who access them by means of headphones connected to a channel selector unit, a contribution unit with a built- in channel selector, or an infra-red receiver.

To assign languages to channels:

•Select the ‘Edit’ menu on the menu bar and click on ‘Channel Language Assignment...’.

3.2.1 Choosing a language list

The language list is itself available in a number of languages. You can choose to display the language list in English, French, or by the original name of each language. You can also create up to three customized lists that let you determine how the available languages are displayed.

The list consists of two items per record:

•A descriptive name of up to 10 characters. The descriptive name is used in ‘Desk Language Assignment’ see paragraph 3.3.

•A three-letter abbreviation, which is used in the display of the interpreter desk. See the Installation and User Instruction for more information about the display of the interpreter desk.
