+
+**Note:** Interpreters must use the Desktop version of mumble - you cannot interpret using the iPhone or Android versions.
+
+[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.
+
+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.
+
+People who need interpretation move into the room called "Interpret."
+
+[[Image(mumble-rooms)]]
+
+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.
+
+The interpreter always remains in the Meeting Room and always interprets what they hear into the Interpet room.
+
+== Interpreter Setup ==
+
+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.
+
+The first step is to configure your mumble client to use "Push to talk".
+
+ * Click Configure -> Settings
+ * Click Audio Input on the left
+ * Under Transmit, select Push to Talk
+
+[[Image(push-to-talk.png)]]
+
+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.
+
+The second step is to configure a short cut for push to talk and for whisper/shout.
+
+ * Click Configure -> Settings
+ * Click Short cuts on the left
+ * Click Add to add a new shortcut
+
+[[Image(mumble-add-shortcut.png)]]
+
+ * Click "unassigned" and select "Push to Talk"
+
+[[Image(mumble-select-push-to-talk.png)]]
+
+ * Click where it says "Press Shortcut"
+
+[[Image(mumble-press-short-cut.png)]]
+
+ * 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.
+
+[[Image(mumble-alt-super.png)]]
+
+ * Now create a short cut for talking into the interpretation channel
+ * Click Add to add a new shortcut
+ * Select "Whisper/Shout"
+ * 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.
+ * Lastly, click where it says "Empty" under the Data heading and click on the button with three dots
+
+[[Image(mumble-data-empty.png)]]
+
+ * Select the "Shout to channel" option
+ * Select the "Interpret" target
+
+[[Image(mumble-shot-to-interpret.png)]]
+
+Click OK. You are done!
+
+Now, when you hold down your push to talk buttons, your icon's lips turn red:

+
+And, when you hold down your whisper/shout buttons, your icon's lips turn blue:

+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+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.
