I love that idea, do you find it to be the case that a given person will always use the same language in a given meeting?

- _Alain_Aug 03, 2022Copper ContributorYes, most frequently, at least in my case, the same language is used throughout the meeting, because generally you choose a common language. It does happen though that we have meetings where the same people end up speaking several languages, for no particular reason than the fact that we all speak several common languages, or, as indicated in my post, because for some of our regional meetings, we necessarily have both francophones and anglophones, so we end up saying everything twice, in one language and then the other. But, my point is that with priori knowledge of the one or two languages that the person knows, it should be much easier to properly identify the spoken language, even if switching from one to another with no previous notice. Well, I hope so.
