Spanish meetings

Record a Spanish meeting and follow it in English

A meeting held in Spanish should be held in Spanish. The usual compromise — everybody switches to English so the notes work — costs precision from the people who know the most, and it costs it in the part of the conversation where precision matters. DayMarshal transcribes the room in Spanish and shows an English translation underneath, so nobody has to choose between speaking well and being understood later.

The original is the record

The Spanish transcript is what is retained. The English translation sits beneath it, line by line, and is never stored in its place. When a decision is later disputed, the sentence somebody actually said is still there to read — in the words they chose.

Regional Spanish is not an edge case

Mexican, Rioplatense, Caribbean and Peninsular Spanish differ in vocabulary well beyond accent, and a summary that quietly normalizes them has thrown away information. Keeping the source transcript means the regional term survives even when the translation reaches for a generic equivalent.

What happens after the meeting

The same follow-through every DayMarshal meeting gets: a summary, action items, and the decisions, commitments, and risks the conversation produced — each one linked back to the passage of transcript it came from, so you can check the reading against the Spanish.

Common questions

Can one meeting move between Spanish and English?

Yes. A room where people switch mid-sentence is the case this is built for, not an exception it tolerates.

Is the Spanish transcript kept, or only the translation?

The Spanish is kept. The translation is shown alongside it and never replaces it.

Does this work for an in-person meeting?

Yes — that is the primary case. In-person capture asks for an explicit consent confirmation before the microphone opens, and records when it was given.
