  • Patent number: 10042847
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for enabling attendees of a web conference to view materials of the web conference in their native language. When the conference server determines that the preferred native language of the attendee differs from the preferred native language of the presenter of the web conference, the conference server creates a virtual environment that is a clone of a host environment of the presenter that runs a native language pack of the preferred native language of the attendee. Upon the presenter starting the web conference, the screen shot shared by the presenter to the attendees is captured from the host environment of the presenter and then translated into the preferred native language of the attendee using the native language pack of the attendee's virtual environment. The translated screen shot is then sent to the attendee in the attendee's preferred native language from the virtual environment.
