What happened and what to do
The Hibiki repository, published on February 6, 2025, presents a decoder-only model for streaming simultaneous speech translation between French and English. Its synthetic training corpus uses MADLAD translations, the authors’ TTS, and a simple latency rule. The repository makes the model available for engineers to evaluate and run.
A company seeking real-time conversation translation could evaluate a pipeline for audio capture, incremental transcription or translation, and delivery of translated text, measuring latency and quality under real operating conditions. Implementation could include monitoring, integration with internal systems, and processing on the company’s own infrastructure when privacy or operational control requirements call for it.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose the communication workflow and its latency, privacy, and integration requirements, scope a model evaluation, and implement and operate a streaming translation solution on the client’s infrastructure.
