How do I schedule multiple GullBots for simultaneous interpretation in different languages for a single online meeting?

When hosting a multilingual online meeting (e.g., involving English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.), you can assign multiple GullBots to join the same meeting room to provide real-time interpretation for different language pairs.

Here are the common use cases and setup steps:

Scenario A: Multilingual Interpretation for Main Rooms (Multiple GullBots in the Same Room)

Ideal when all participants are in the same meeting room but require interpretation in different languages.

Steps:

1. Schedule the First GullBot:

Open the TransGull app and select GullBot Interpretation. Paste the meeting link, set the language pair to 「Japanese ↔ English」, specify the date, start time, and duration, then submit the schedule.

2. Schedule Additional GullBots:

Open GullBot Interpretation again and paste the same meeting link. Switch the language pair for the second GullBot to 「Korean ↔ English」 and submit. Repeat this step for any additional language pairs needed.

3. Participants Select Interpretation Link:

Once the meeting starts, all scheduled GullBots will enter the room simultaneously and post their respective interpretation links in the in-meeting chat. Participants can simply click the link matching their preferred language to view subtitles and listen to the translation audio.

Scenario B: Interpretation for Breakout Rooms (Assigning Different GullBots to Different Rooms)

Ideal for platforms like Zoom that use Breakout Rooms, where different breakout groups require different language interpretation.

Steps:

1. Enable and Create Breakout Rooms in Zoom:

  • Ensure Breakout Rooms are enabled on your Zoom account.

To do this, log in to the Zoom web portal and go to Settings (or Account Management → Account Settings for admin accounts). Under the In Meeting (Advanced) section, find Breakout room and turn on the toggle.

  • Before or during the meeting, click Breakout Rooms on the Zoom control bar to create the required breakout rooms.

2. Schedule Multiple GullBots in TransGull:

Paste the same meeting link multiple times to submit separate scheduling requests for each language pair.

For example:

  • GullBot 1: Set to Japanese ↔ English

  • GullBot 2: Set to Korean ↔ English

  • GullBot 3: Set to Traditional Chinese ↔ English

3. Assign GullBots to Breakout Rooms:

  • After all GullBots join the main meeting room, the host can assign each GullBot to its designated room through the Zoom Breakout Rooms management panel.

  • Once inside their assigned rooms, each GullBot will share its specific interpretation link in the room chat, providing dedicated translation for that group.
