Yes, you are right, but it could still be a good starting point.
Because there are a lot of talks and it would be great to be able to 
translate them all, but I also think it is difficult to create several 
translation groups for each talk.
And where you manage to get a translator, the slides in English would 
be a good helper and would relieve it.
