| 5 | **Note:** Interpreters must use the Desktop version of mumble - you cannot interpret using the iPhone or Android versions. |

| 7 | [wiki:mumble Mumble] is an Internet voice-based conference system. It uses the concept of "rooms" to allow different groups of people to have separate conversations. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | During an interpreted meeting, the interpreter, everyone who is bi-lingual and everyone who understands the language of the current speaker stay in "Meeting" room. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | People who need interpretation move into the room called "Interpret." |
| 12 | |

| 14 | |
| 15 | People are free to move between rooms as necessary: anyone who wants to speak can move to the "Meeting" room. When a speaker is speaking a language you understand, you can move to the Meeting room as well. When a speaker is not speaking a language you understand, you can move yourself to the Interpret room to hear the interpretation. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The interpreter always remains in the Meeting Room and always interprets what they hear into the Interpet room. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | == Interpreter Setup == |
| 20 | |
| 21 | While everyone else who speaks in the Main room is heard by the people in that room, the Interpreter uses a special feature called "Whisper/Shout" that allows them to be in the Meeting room, but speak to people in the Interpret room. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The first step is to configure your mumble client to use "Push to talk". |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * Click Configure -> Settings |
| 26 | * Click Audio Input on the left |
| 27 | * Under Transmit, select Push to Talk |
| 28 | |
| 29 | [[Image(push-to-talk.png)]] |
| 30 | |
| 31 | With this setting in place, you are muted automatically unless you either click the floating "Push to Talk" button or you setup a key combination that must be pressed down in order to enable your mic. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | The second step is to configure a short cut for push to talk and for whisper/shout. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * Click Configure -> Settings |
| 36 | * Click Short cuts on the left |
| 37 | * Click Add to add a new shortcut |
| 38 | |

| 40 | |
| 41 | * Click "unassigned" and select "Push to Talk" |
| 42 | |
| 43 | [[Image(mumble-select-push-to-talk.png)]] |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * Click where it says "Press Shortcut" |
| 46 | |
| 47 | [[Image(mumble-press-short-cut.png)]] |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * Press the key combination on your keyboard that you want to assign to talking. I recommend holding down both the Windows Key and the Alt key on the left side of our space bar. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | [[Image(mumble-alt-super.png)]] |
| 52 | |
| 53 | * Now create a short cut for talking into the interpretation channel |
| 54 | * Click Add to add a new shortcut |
| 55 | * Select "Whisper/Shout" |
| 56 | * Click Press shortcut and then select a different key combination for interpretation. I recommend holding down both the Alt and Menu keys on the right side of your space bar. |
| 57 | * Lastly, click where it says "Empty" under the Data heading and click on the button with three dots |
| 58 | |
| 59 | [[Image(mumble-data-empty.png)]] |
| 60 | |
| 61 | * Select the "Shout to channel" option |
| 62 | * Select the "Interpret" target |
| 63 | |
| 64 | [[Image(mumble-shot-to-interpret.png)]] |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Click OK. You are done! |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Now, when you hold down your push to talk buttons, your icon's lips turn red: |

| 71 | |
| 72 | And, when you hold down your whisper/shout buttons, your icon's lips turn blue: |
| 73 | |

| 81 | |
| 82 | |
| 83 | |
| 84 | The "Push to talk" feature means that you are always muted unless you are holding down a key (or combination of keys) on your keyboard (like the shift key or the shift key plus the alt key). While those keys are being pressed, your mic is un-muted and you can speak to the room you are in. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | The "Whisper/Shout" feature allows you to assign a different key or set of keys which will cause you to speak into a different room - one that you are not present in. |
