Give each person time to finish, hear the translation, and answer in their own language.

Make everyone comfortable

Explain whether the chosen translation mode runs on the device or sends content to an online provider, and ask for agreement before starting. Choose the two languages together. Put the device where both people can see the words and the microphone can hear clearly.

Leave room for the reply

Short sentences and pauses make it easier to match the spoken translation to the person who spoke. Avoid several people talking at once. If an expression or family nickname does not translate well, explain it in simpler words.

Read along and check the meaning

LingoVela shows original and translated text in the conversation. Read it together if something sounds surprising. Saved conversations stay on the device; consider everyone's privacy before keeping or sharing them.
