SBS has launched a live translation service of the daily NSW government COVID-19 press conference in languages other than English to provide communities with access to critical health messages.
The media conferences will be translated in real-time into Arabic and Vietnamese, accessible via the SBS Arabic24 and SBS Vietnamese Facebook pages, as well as SBS Radio.
The service will be introduced in additional languages including Mandarin and Assyrian shortly.
The pilot initiative shows the live video stream of the press conference but with in-language interpretation as the primary audio.
