"Separuh Pasukan Saya Tidak Bertutur Bahasa Inggeris"

Picture a Berlin product manager opening a sprint review with five engineers in Tokyo. Everyone agreed to speak English, but ten minutes in the Tokyo team has gone quiet. They understand most of it. What they miss is the subtext — the hedging, the jokes, the offhand "we can circle back on that" that was actually a deferred decision. By the time the recap email goes out, half the team is working from a different version of the truth.

Hiring a more eloquent speaker doesn't fix this — it just changes who's having a hard time. Every workaround we've watched teams try has its own failure mode. Manual interpreters run $75–150 an hour and only get booked for the meetings important enough to justify the budget. Live captions in Google Meet only cover one language. Post-meeting pastes into Google Translate strip speaker context and go stale the moment someone references "what Yuki said about the API." None of them put every participant in the same conversation at the same time.

Meeting Bable puts the original and translated text side by side as the conversation happens. The delay stays under two seconds in practice, so a joke still lands, a question still gets answered, and a "hold on, what did you mean there?" still works. When the call ends, everyone leaves with the same speaker-labeled bilingual transcript — not five slightly different interpretations of the same hour.
