Subject: Re: [Hackmeeting] [TRANSLATION] Are translations from the talks/workshops, expected?
In my opinion it's a bit complex.
Couldn't it be easier to try to do all the slides in English?
So that the speaker can proceed normally and those who do not know
Italian can still follow through the slides.
