**Language interpretation functions suggested:**

- Multiple interchangeable languages per interpreter.
- Single click (plus keyboard shortcut) switch of language channel to emit (interpretation).
- Single click (plus keyboard shortcut) switch of language channel to listen to (original or interpretations).

**Suggested interface elements:**

- creation of the interpreter role and assignment of languages to each interpreter:  
Which languages will you interpret between?  
[drop-down with languages 1]  
[drop-down with languages 2]  
{+add language drop-down}

- allways-on-top interpretation tools:  
_Interpret to:_  
{with radio buttons, graphic buttons, or similar}  
[language1] [shortcut1a]  
[language2] [shortcut2a]  
[language3] [shortcut3a]  
[language4] [shortcut4a]  
{etc.}  
_Listen to:_  
{with radio buttons, radio buttons, or similar}  
[language1] [shortcut1b]  
[language2] [shortcut2b]  
[language3] [shortcut3b]  
[language4] [shortcut4b]  
{etc.}
